This paper presents an analytical model that evaluates the performance of the Maximum Packing channel allocation technique on linear and planar cellular systems. The main innovations introduced by this model are the deterministic identification of the system space-state SMP and its application to a multi-dimensional Markov chain. The model was thereafter applied to several cellular systems with...

brass ferrules have been used as packing in a laboratory- scale glass distillation column approaching pilot plant size because of their availability in all sizes and low cost. the available size range is such that these ferrules could also be used in industry and the results of this study could be scaled up. the performance of the new packing has been compared with the performance of glass pack...

this study investigates the correlations among the tensile strength, mineral composition, and textural features of twenty-ninesandstones from kouzestan province. the regression analyses as well as artificial neural network (ann) are also applied to evaluatethe correlations. the results of simple regression analyses show no correlation between mineralogical features and tensile strength.however,...

In this paper, we reviewed researches about the titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium carbide (TiC) single and multilayer coatings. These coatings were deposited by the plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) technique. Plasma-based technologies are used for the processing of thin films and coatings for different applications such as automobile and aerospace parts, computer disc drives,...

This paper has two distinguishable, but interwoven themes: (i) maximising the use of the context information available from a given task, by the application of a systems engineering approach to the packing problem, and (ii) the development of an adaptive packing strategy for random shapes, using morphological and heuristic techniques. The packing techniques and applications discussed in previou...

Physical characteristics critical to chromatography including geometric porosity and tortuosity within the packed column were analysed based upon three dimensional reconstructions of bed structure in-situ. Image acquisition was performed using two X-ray computed tomography systems, with optimisation of column imaging performed for each sample in order to produce three dimensional representation...
