Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpectrometric Methods Used to Determine Heavy Metals and Total Cyanides in Accidental Polluted SoilsA. Mihaly-Cozmuta, L. Mihal Cozmuta, V. Viman et al.The study presents the level of soil pollution in the area adjacent to three sedimentation ponds as a result of an environmental accident. Soil samples from various sites have been collected and analyzed to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) and total cyanides. The analysis methods used were ICP-AES for heavy metals and the colorimetric for total … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Difference Solution for Precooling Process of Fish PackagesK. A. Abbas, F. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure convection heat transfer in slab shaped fresh water fish pieces. A generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form and an optimized scheme of the solutions was worked out. A fully explicit finite difference scheme, an implicit finite difference scheme and different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,908 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Growth Medium for Centella Asiatica Cell Culture Via Response Surface MethodologyRozita Omar, M. A. Abdullah, M. A. Hasan, M. MarziahThe effects of sucrose, Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) and 6-BenzylAminoPurine (BAP) concentrations on cell growth of Centella asiatica cell suspension culture were studied. The concentrations were designed using Central-composite experimental design and regression analysis was carried out to obtain response surface model describing cell growth for prediction of optimum conditions. Only sucrose as a single factor was positively significant for cell … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,206 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Energy Loss in the Steam Valves and its EffectsGalip Temir, Durriye BilgeIn this study, the effects of thermal losses in steam valves for flow have been analyzed. In a set of experiment built to achieve this, pressure and condensate values have been calculated in different temperatures for insulated and non-insulated cases in three different nominal diameter steam valves. The amount of energy lost from the valve surface in the natural convection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,210 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFurther Improvements in Temperature Calculation During Cooling of Fish PackagesF. A. Ansari, K. A. Abbas, J. Bakar et al.In an earlier study, it was demonstrated that the empirical approach used to calculate the surface film conductance resulted into a higher value compared to those obtained from the other methods available in the literature. During further investigations, surface film conductance values were found to gradually decrease with a fall in temperature. When this non-linear variation was used to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,854 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Roughness Prediction Model in Machining of Carbon Steel by PCD Coated Cutting ToolsYusuf Sahin, A. Riza MotorcuThe surface roughness model in the turning of AISI 1040 carbon steel was developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using response surface methodology. Machining tests were carried out using PVD-coated tools under different cutting conditions. The surface roughness equations of cutting tools when machining the carbon steels were achieved by using the experimental data. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,968 accessesView PDF Cite
