Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCarbon Dioxide Transfer with Chemical Equilibrium Reactions: An Alternative Mathematical ApproachA. ShanablehProblem statement: Despite intensive research efforts on CO2 transfer, mathematical models that describe the dependence of the CO2 transfer rate on the pH and the degree of rate enhancement due to CO2 chemical reactions remain unavailable. Approach: Such models are essential for assessing and accurately describing the progress of the CO2 transfer process. Results: In this study, an alternative view … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArsenic Adsorption on Bauxite Mineral Using Batch Equilibrium TestFares Yahay Alshaebi, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Abdul Rahim Samsudin, Esmail AlsabahiProblem statement: Study suggested a solution to remove arsenic contamination from contaminated water. Approach: Bauxite, which is a mineral, was proposed as natural remediation material used in this study. Bauxite was collected from Johor mining company in Teluk Ramunia, Johor Bharu, Malaysia. Batch equilibrium test was performed in accordance to different initial concentrations, shaking time and different initial pH values. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Study of Several Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants on an Aquifer MaterialBarbara Ruffino, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: Aim of the present research was to determine coefficient of partition KD between soil and groundwater for five hydrophobic organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene-TCE, perchloroethylene-PCE and toluene) in an Italian aquifer material characterized by a low organic carbon content (fOC = 0.00262) by means of laboratory batch tests. Initial aqueous concentrations (quite different among the five compounds) were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Macroeconomic Indicators on Agricultural Trade Balance of IranS. Yazdani, S. ShajariProblem statement: One of the main targets of Iran’s economic development plans in agricultural sector during the recent years was to augment agricultural exports and establish a positive trade balance in this sector. In this research the impact of macroeconomic indicators of Iran and its 20 trading partners on Iran’s agricultural trade balance had been investigated. Approach: The ARDL approach … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputable General Equilibrium Techniques for Carbon Tax ModelingAl-Amin, Chamhuri Siwar, Abdul HamidProblem statement: Lacking of proper environmental models environmental pollution is now a solemn problem in many developing countries particularly in Malaysia. Some empirical studies of worldwide reveal that imposition of a carbon tax significantly decreases carbon emissions and does not dramatically reduce economic growth. To our knowledge there has not been any research done to simulate the economic impact of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Adsorption of the Lead (II) by the Nonliving Biomass Spirogyra neglecta (Hasall) KutzingModher A. Hussain, Aishah Salleh, Pozi MilowProblem statement: Conventional techniques for removing dissolved heavy metals are only practical and cost-effective when applied to high strength wastes with heavy metal ion concentrations greater than 100 ppm. The possibility of using a nonliving algal biomass to solve this problem was carried in this study. Lead (II) was used in this study because it had been reported to cause … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto a Low-Cost Natural Jordanian TripoliAtef S. ALzaydienProblem statement: It is well documented that lead is one of contaminants of industrial wastewaters and its pollution exists in the wastewater of many industries. As a result, recent research has focused on the development of cost effective alternatives using various natural sources and industrial wastes. In this setting, the use of low-cost agricultural materials, waste and residues for recovering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sliding Mode Command for a System of Coupled ReservoirsRiadh Gamoudi, Mahmoud Ellouze, Abdelkader MamiThis study consisted to determine a discreet order by sliding method that was applied on a regulation procedure of a formed level by communicating reservoirs. The model that represents the system is determined by parametric identification based on the algorithm of the recursive least square with forgetfulness factor. Problem statement: The purpose is to develop a robust order that assuring … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quasi One-dimensional Simulation of a 4 Stroke Spark Ignition Hydrogen Fuelled EngineT. F. Yusaf, M. Z. Yusoff, I. Hussein, S. H. FongActive research and development of hydrogen-fuelled engine had been done for a few decades since hydrogen serves as a potential of infinite fuel supply. This paper discussed analytically and provides data on effects of compression ratio, equivalence ratio and spark timing of a hydrogen-fuelled engine as a guideline for the engine design. The change in the thermodynamic properties of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
