Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING ISOSTERIC HEAT OF BANANA FOAM MAT USING NEURAL NETWORK APPROACHPreeda Prakotmak, Hataitep Wongsuwan, Somchart Soponronnarit, Somkiat PrachayawarakornInformation on the adsorption isotherm and the thermodynamic properties can assist in optimizing food processing operations such as drying, packaging and storage in the assessment of the quality of food. In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modelling the water activity/Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) of banana foam mat under a range of values of the Experimental … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE ASSOCIATION OF IONS IN THE SOIL SOLUTION OF SALINE SOILSA. P. Endovitsky, T. M. Minkina, V. P. Kalinichenko et al.The chemical equilibrium in the soil solution determines the dynamics of its material composition, migration and accumulation of salts. In the soil solution are formed electrically neutral ion pairs CaCO3°; CaSO4°, MgCO3°, MgSO4°, charged ion pairs CaHCO3+, MgHCO3+, NaCO3-, NaSO4-, CaOH+, MgOH+. The calculation method proposed for quantitative assessment of real ion forms in the soil solution of solonetz taking … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 12 Feb 2014 · 8,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Process Conditions on Measles Virus StabilityK. Weiss, D. Salzig, J. Gerstenberger et al.Recombinant measles viruses are currently tested in clinical trials as oncolytic agent to be applied in cancer therapy. Contrary to their use as vaccine where 103 infectious virus particles per dose are needed, for cancer therapy 109 virus particles should be provided per dose. This leads to other challenges for the production process when compared to vaccine production. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 9,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Parametric Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle Powered by Solar EnergyFrancesco Calise, Claudio Capuozzo, Laura VanoliThis study presents the simulation and performance analysis of a regenerative and superheated Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). To this scope, anew simulation model has been developed. The model is based on zero-dimensional energy and mass balances for all the components of the system. Shell and tube heat expanders with single shell and double tube pass have been chosen. Pump and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 May 2013 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrice-Value Potential for Near-Perfectly Competitive MarketsSergey K. AityanThis study introduces price-value potential to be used instead of price for market analysis by analogy with free energy or thermodynamic potential in physics. A conservation principle is proposed for price-value potential. It is shown that price-value potential provides a constructive way for market analysis by identifying variation of equilibrium prices and quantities for different products in market equilibrium. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Temperature and Acid Concentration on Corrosion of Low Carbon Steel in Hydrochloric Acid MediaAnees A. Khadom, Aprael S. Yaro, Abdul Amir H. Kadum et al.Problem statement: The effect of different temperatures and acid concentrations on the corrosion of low carbon steel in hydrochloric acid were addressed in this study. Approach: The effect of temperature was explained by application of Arrhenius equation and transition state theory, while the acid concentration effect was explained using reaction kinetic equations. The combined effect of temperature and acid concentration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 11,478 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 · 7,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresence and Origin of Fluoride in the Complex Terminal Water of Ouargla Basin (Northern Sahara of Algeria)Imed Eddine Nezli, Samia Achour, Mohamed Djidel, Saïd AttalahProblem statement: The underground waters in the oriental regions of the Algerian Sahara, present real chemical quality problems. Their content in fluorides always exceeds the limit of the recommended levels. That is 0.8 mg L-1, according to the maximum temperature in the region. Combined to a high salinity, it affects the health of the population living around the region. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Comparison of Thermal Stratification due Natural Convection in Densified LOX, LN2 TanksSeyed Ali Jazayeri, Ehsan Molla Hasanzadeh KhoeiThe growth of natural circulation and thermal stratification inside LOX, LN2 storage tanks due to heat transfer from surroundings is investigated using a non-equilibrium, two-domain, mathematical model. The two-dimensional model is considered for the liquid domain in two cases and a lumped, thermodynamic model is utilized for vapor domain. The vapor is assumed to behave like an ideal gas.
