Abstract
In this paper, a new correlation to calculate the thermal conductivity of supercritical carbon dioxide based on 668 data points from the literature is introduced. The proposed correlation is valid in temperature range from 310 to 960 K, and pressures range between 7.4 and 210 MPa. The average absolute error of the model was found to be 2.7 and 2.4% in the comparison with the literature and NIST data respectively, which demonstrates superiority of the model over other methods
Modelling of carbon dioxide corrosion of steel with iron carbonate precipitation
, Article Corrosion Engineering Science and Technology ; Volume 44, Issue 2 , 2009 , Pages 128-136 ; 1478422X (ISSN) ; Ghorbani, M ; Afshar, A ; Rahmaniyan, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions containing carbon dioxide was modelled under condition that protective iron carbonate films formed on the steel surface. In this model, the film form on the steel surface due to precipitation of iron carbonate from saturated solution. The precipitation of iron carbonate produces a porous layer on the steel surface, reducing the diffusion of species toward the steel surface. If the precipitation rate is high, the porosity decreases and the mass transport becomes slower. Therefore, formation of protective layers on the steel surface reduces the corrosion rate. In this case, the corrosion processes are controlled with diffusion of species. The model...

Carbon Dioxide Recovery From Flue Gases by Means of Appropriate Absorbents
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Molaei Dehkordi, Asghar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere and their destructive consequences, many scientists and researchers have turned to preventing the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. One of the primary sources of carbon dioxide emissions is flue gases. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important greenhouse gases, the release of which causes global temperature increase and climate change. One of the options for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from gas streams is using reactive amine solvents, considered the most critical technologies for carbon dioxide removal. The only commercially available carbon dioxide separation method is absorption...

Abstract
The absolute free energy of solvation of methane (CH4) and its fluorinated forms (CH3F, CH2F2, CHF3 and CF4) have been computed via statistical perturbation theory (SPT) in the NPT ensemble at four thermodynamical states (whitin liquid and supercritical regions), in the context of Monte Carlo Simulations. Thermodynamical interpretation of the observed trend in the absolute free energy of solvation in different states reveals an exothermic solvation with ΔSslv < 0 (entropically unfavorable solvation) that the intermolecular interactions play an important role in the solvation process. The fluorinated methanes are confirmed to control the mutual arrangement of neighboring CO2 molecules and the...

Abstract
Betaine-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), a new class of green solvents, were immobilized into a porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) support and evaluated for the separation of CO2 from CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 mixtures. Two types of NADESs were synthesized by mixing betaine (hydrogen bond acceptor-HBA) with malic acid and tartaric acid (hydrogen bond donors-HBD) respectively. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy were studied to confirm the synthesis and purity of the NADESs. The thermal strength of the NADESs was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. The gas permeation results of the fabricated NADES-based-supported liquid membranes (NADES-SLMs) showed that the permeability of CO2...

Abstract
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a relatively new separation technique that has received much attention in recent years. This process is an alternative to distillation or liquid extraction. Its main advantage over the conventional ones is that the dissolved extract may be completely separated from the supercritical fluid simply by decreasing the pressure. In recent years considerable effort has been devoted to the measurement of equilibrium solubility data for solids in supercritical fluids. A coal tar distillate, anthracene oil, which contains 34.46 mass-% phenanthrene, 33.8 mass-% anthracene, 13.89 mass-% carbazole and other impurities, was used as the model mixture. In this study,...
Separation of CO2 from CO2-air Mixture Using ILM Membrane Containing TEG-DEA
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bastani, Dariush (Supervisor)
Abstract
CO2 separation from air was investigated in this work. An immobilized liquid membrane (ILM) which contains triethylene glycol (TEG) and diethanolamine (DEA) was used for this purpose. In this kind of membranes a liquid, which improves permeability of gas species through the membrane, fills the pores of a polymeric membrane as support. Because of low vapor pressure of solution, liquid loss was negligible. Transport of CO2 was facilitated due to reversible chemical reaction between CO2 and amine solution. A polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was chosen to have chemical resistance against the solution and prevent destruction of polymer by solution. A flat sheet and hydrophilic PVDF was...

Abstract
The burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, natural gas in combustion reactions results in the production of carbon dioxide. The phase behavior of the carbon dioxide + water system is complex topic. Unlike methane, CO2 exhibits a minimum in the water content. These minima cannot be predicted by existing methods accurately. In this communication, two mathematical-based procedures have been proposed for accurate computation of CO2 water content for tempe-ratures between 273.15 and 348.15 K and the pressure range between 0.5 and 21 MPa. The first is based on least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) algorithm and the second applies multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural...

Abstract
The high dependence of the atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions on fossil fuels has led it to increment. Process design along with the economic aspects, improves the technology diffusion of the carbon capturing. In the pressure swing adsorption as a promising carbon capturing technology, increasing the pressure leads to more adsorbed amount of carbon dioxide and energy consumption of compressor, which is a source for carbon dioxide emission. Experimental data shows that for pressures between 3 to 5bar, the avoided CO2 is in maximum rate. The economic analysis reveals that the pressure of 3bar is appropriate. Also, the utilization of CO2 in the aerogel production, as a nano-based thermal...
