Flameless combustion in combustion technology is an innovative method with low nox production that few years provided it passes. In this paper the effects of various parameters on flameless combustion chamber with separate fuel and air jets, has been modeled numerically with the help of Fluent 6.3 software. Differences between traditional combustion and flameless combustion were determined and the flame structure has been studied in different scenarios. In numerical modeling, approach were used to modeling turbulence and eddy dissipation concept (EDC) approach use to modeling combustion and turbulence interaction effects. A global Two-step reaction mechanism for propane and a global... 

Parkinson's disease is a progressive and severe neurodegenerative disorder in the central nervous system that is common in adults and, to some extent, in young people. One way to control and improve this disease is through rehabilitation, specifically in the form of rehabilitation activities. Due to the difficulty of travelling to and from the clinic, systems have been developed today that, using inertial sensors, provide the possibility of remotely monitoring this type of treatment up to 95%. In this regard, a system named SEPANTA has been developed at the Djavad Mowafaghian Research Center to diagnose and monitor the rehabilitation activities performed by patients with Parkinson's disease.... 

Nowadays, due to environmental problems, electric cars are becoming more and more popular. The main drawback of these cars is due to the large volume, weight, and price of the battery and its long charging time. Charging the battery at short intervals or even in moving, can help to use a smaller battery and reduce battery problems. Therefore, the dynamic wireless power transmission technology that provides power without having to stop the car to recharge its batteries can revolutionize the electric car industry. The ever-expanding advance of power electronics and wireless power transmission technologies has made it possible to transfer power to moving electric cars. Barriers to this industry... 

According to increasing computer systems, needs for verification of such systems with respect to desirable properties is critical. Model checking is one of the best methods of verification. Different methods have been proposed for model checking. The most efficient of these methods is automata-theoretic approach. In this approach, formal specification of desirable property, specified by formula in temporal logics, is translated to corresponding automaton. If the system model is expressed as automaton, the problem of model checking is then reduced to a problem of automata-theory. The question is the following. Are all the computations of the corresponding automaton accepted by the automaton... 

Cloud computing is a paradigm for scalable processing infrastructure which combines distributed software concepts, networks and IT management. Virtualization techniques help to increase productivity from resources. Services are adjusted based on service level agreement with a contract between users and service providers for specifying quality service. In this way, the level of customer satisfaction will be improved. Reliable and flexible management of service level agreements is very important for users and providers. This agreement model is used to prevent the payment of the penalty by providers and minimized interaction between users and providers. Migration from the traditional model to a... 

The concurrent flow of oil and water is a common occurrence in the field of multiphase flow in different fields including petroleum industry. In oil and gas, production engineers often face a situation in which more than one phase is flowing through the producers. In such conditions an accurate assessment of pressure loss inside the well plays a vital role in efficient and effective production planning. Changes in well orientation, wellbore diameter, reservoir and fluid properties as well as fluid flow rates are among parameters in which will affect the flow patterns that can occur inside a well during its life time. These flow patterns are created as a result of a competition between... 

Casing design is one of the most expensive parts in the drilling of oil wells, and any cost reduction with the basic design of these casing strings will significantly reduce the total cost of the operation. In recent years, occurring scenarios-based casing design has become popular; Because in many cases, it eliminates non-occurring scenarios such as gas kick and saves on drilling costs. In this study, we have tried to investigate all scenarios that may occur during the lifetime of the well, whether drilling or production, and for each well, based on its own field information, possible scenarios for each casing part are selected separately and the applying loads are calculated. For this... 

The electrochemical oxidation behavior of the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam was investigated. A carbon nanoparticle (CNP)-chitosan (CS) film-coated graphite electrode (PGE) was fabricated and the electrochemical behaviors of piroxicam on its surface was investigated by the means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In comparison to the bare PGE, at the surface of the CNP-CS film modified electrode, the oxidation peak current of piroxicam increased significantly and the peak potential shifted negatively. Consequently, a simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of piroxicam. The... 

There are high attractions in the development of conducting polymer (CP) coatings to improve the electrochemical properties and biocompatibility of electrodes in the area of biosensors. In the first part of this thesis, a new type of modified electrodes, constructing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polypyrrole is prepared in a layer-by-layer process. In this procedure, the glassy carbon electrode is casted first by a drop suspension of MWCNTs, leading to formation a thin film on its surface. In the second step, electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of tiron (used as doping anion) is performed on the surface of the MWCNTs pre-coated electrode. The modification... 

In the present work, edge-functionalaized graphene was used as electrode material and its electrochemical properties were systematically characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Two methods were applied to modify the gold electrode surface. First method was the self assembling process of graphene nanosheets on gold electrode surface. Second method was simply casting specific amounts of graphene suspension on the gold electrode surface. Nyquist plots show decrease of the charge transfer resistance on the electrode surface at both cases. In cyclic voltammetry studies, first electrode shows no significant changes while the second electrode exhibits...
