Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCosmological Data Could have a microscopic, not Macroscopic, CauseEmmanuil ManousosA slight continuous increase of the rest masses and the electric charges of material particles can justify quantum phenomena and the cosmological data. This increase can only occur in a strictly defined way: the law of selfvariations. The law of selfvariations condenses into one equation the totality of the cosmological data, as we observe them from the time of Hubble … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Oxidation Ditch System with a Disc AeratorAbdel Ghaly, Ashley ThistleProblem statement: The oxidation ditch system has been used to treat various types of wastewaters. Several types of aerators are used to supply the treatment process with oxygen. Among these devices, the disc aerator has certain advantages regarding foam generation over the brush and paddle type rotors, but the main disadvantages of this aerator is the limited oxygenation capacity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Diffusion Coefficient using Reversed-Flow Gas Chromatography-A ReviewKhalisanni Khalid, Rashid Atta Khan, Sharifuddin Mohd. ZainProblem statement: Since the earliest publication on the technique, Reversed-Flow Gas Chromatography (RF-GC) has been used to determine physicochemical properties by measuring the value of one in the presence of another. The method is precise, accurate and simple compared to other conventional techniques. Approach: The experimental setup consists of a small modification of a commercial gas chromatograph, so that it … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,223 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Oriented Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Devices for Cold Load Pick-upAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Claudia Cotrim PezzutoProblem statement: During service restoration, the power level at buses can significantly differ from the one presented under steady-state conditions, demanding an amount of electric power significantly higher than the normal load. Hence, their post-outage behavior must be adequately forecasted in order to permit the development of reliable restoration plans, or to avoid inadequate actions that may lead to a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvective Heat Transport in an Unconfined Aquifer Induced by the Field Injection of an Open-Loop Groundwater Heat PumpStefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaProblem statement: The increasing diffusion of low-enthalpy geothermal open-loop Groundwater Heat Pumps (GWHP) providing buildings air conditioning requires a careful assessment of the overall effects on groundwater system, especially in the urban areas. The impact on the groundwater temperature in the surrounding area of the re-injection well is directly linked to the aquifer properties. Physical processes affecting heat transport within … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSessile Drop Evaporation and Leidenfrost PhenomenonA. K. Mozumder, M. R. Ullah, A. Hossain, M. A. IslamProblem statement: Quenching and cooling are important process in manufacturing industry for controlling the mechanical properties of materials, where evaporation is a vital mode of heat transfer. Approach: This study experimentally investigated the evaporation of sessile drop for four different heated surfaces of Aluminum, Brass, Copper and Mild steel with a combination of four different liquids as Methanol, Ethanol, Water … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution of Second-Order Linear Fredholm Integro-Differential Equation Using Generalized Minimal Residual MethodElayaraja Aruchunan, Jumat SulaimanProblem statement: This research purposely brought up to solve complicated equations such as partial differential equations, integral equations, Integro-Differential Equations (IDE), stochastic equations and others. Many physical phenomena contain mathematical formulations such integro-differential equations which are arise in fluid dynamics, biological models and chemical kinetics. In fact, several formulations and numerical solutions of the linear Fredholm integro-differential equation of second … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorption of Phenols: Influence of Groundwater pH and of Soil Organic Carbon ContentSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: Physical and chemical properties of soil, groundwater and pollutants deeply influenced the type and the strength of sorption phenomena involving hydrophobic organic contaminants: Soil fraction of organic carbon (foc) and cation exchange capacity, groundwater pH and pollutants hydrophobicity were with undoubtedly the predominant issues. Approach: In this study an experimental study of the sorption of phenol and 2-nitrophenol … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Hammer Analysis by Characteristic MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadRapid changes in the velocity of fluid in closed conduits generate large pressure, which are transmitted through the system with the speed of sound. When the fluid medium is a liquid the pressure surges and related phenomena are described as water hammer. Water hammer is caused by normal operation of the system, such as valve opening or closure, pump starts … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,701 accessesView PDFCite
