analyses and thermal infrared channels 4 and 5 noaa- avhrr images. this research was carried out in lut desert located in center of sub-tropical divergence dominant in' iranian plateau. the physical and thermal properties of the various desert surfaces have been determined using correlation relationships between the desert variables including: dark sand, normal sand, marl, saline soil, soil dep...

The ultra-low thermal conductivity of bulk polymers may be enhanced by combining them with high thermal conductivity materials such as carbon nanotubes. Different from random doping, we find that the aligned carbon nanotube-polyethylene composites has a high thermal conductivity by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The analyses indicate that the aligned composite not only take adv...

On-going research of advanced sharp refractory composite leading edges for use on hypersonic air-breathing vehicles is presented in this paper. Intense magnitudes of heating and of heating gradients on the leading edge lead to thermal stresses that challenge the survivability of current material systems. A fundamental understanding of the problem is needed to further design development. Methodo...

TThe present paper evaluates the plan of combustion air pre-heater installation on the fired heater from thermodynamics and thermos-economics point of view. As a real case study, one of the fired heaters (H_101) of Distillation unit in Tehran Oil Refinery, Iran, is intended. With applying an air pre-heater in this study, flue gases temperature falls down from 430 ºC to 200ºCand combustion a...

In this study, pyrite was produced by hydrothermal precipitation from the reaction between FeSO4 and Na2S2O3 at high pressure and high temperature in a stirred reactor. The solid product was purified by means of solvent extraction to remove sulfur. Powder was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and thermal ...
