Electrically rotating suspended films of polar liquids
, Article Experiments in Fluids ; Volume 50, Issue 2 , August , 2011 , Pages 419-428 ; 07234864 (ISSN) ; Amjadi, A ; Tonddast Navaei, A ; Ejtehadi, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Controlled rotation of a suspended soap water film, simply generated by applying an electric field, has been reported recently. The film rotates when the applied electric field exceeds a certain threshold. In this study, we investigate the phenomenon in films made of a number of other liquids with various physical and chemical properties. Our measurements show that the intrinsic electrical dipole moments of the liquid molecules seems to be vital for the corresponding film rotation. All the investigated rotating liquids have a molecular electric dipole moment of above 1 Debye, while weakly polar liquids do not rotate. However, the liquids investigated here cover a wide range of physical...
Simulation and Optimization of Relatively New Catalyst Recovery from Old Catalysts Used in the FCC Process by Applying Electrostatic Field
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rashtchian, Davood (Supervisor) ; Fotovat, Farzam (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, the separation process for used and relatively new catalysts of residue fluid catalytic cracking unit by applying an electric field was evaluated. The main purpose of this dissertation is to simulate and design a separation system for separating used and relatively new catalysts of the FCC process in the electrostatic fields. In this regard, various separators were studied, and most of them were simulated under different circumstances. Finally, after examining and analyzing the particle behavior in each of the scenarios, the proposed system was introduced as more effective and efficient than the other separators in order to achieve the ideal separation of the used and...
A study of the electrophoretic deposition of Bioglass® suspensions using the Taguchi experimental design approach

Abstract
This paper presents a study of the Taguchi design method to optimise the rate of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of Bioglass® particles from aqueous suspensions. The effect of Bioglass® concentration, pH and electric field was investigated. An orthogonal array of L16 type with mixed levels of the control factors was utilized. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and regression analysis based on the partial least-square method were used to identify the significant factors affecting the deposition rate and its stability during constant-voltage EPD. It was found that the pH of the suspension significantly influences the deposition rate whereas the applied electric field has the smallest...

Abstract
In this paper, the main discharge region and the plasma on the pre-ionization section in a TEA-CO2 laser are simulated by a distributed RLC electric circuit. The transmission line method is applied to the nonlinear distributed circuit, and it is approximated by a lumped nonlinear RLC circuit. By this method the governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations. The parameters of the plasma in this laser are obtained by using this model. The possible photoionization instability is presented. To discuss the instability of the plasma, the current density perpendicular to the applied electric field is obtained. Furthermore, the electron...
Stability analysis of carbon nanotubes under electric fields and compressive loading

Abstract
The mechanical stability of conductive, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under applied electric field and compressive loading is investigated. The distribution of electric charges on the nanotube surface is determined by employing a method based on the classical electrostatic theory. For mechanical stability analysis, a hybrid atomistic-structural element is proposed, which takes into account the nonlinear features of the stability. Nonlinear stability analysis based on an iterative solution procedure is used to determine the buckling force. The coupling between electrical and mechanical models is accomplished by adding Coulomb interactions to the mechanical model. The results show...
