, Article Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals ; Vol. 55, issue. 4 , July , 2014 , p. 365-370 ; 10678212 ; Eisaabadi, G. B ; Davami, P ; Varahram, N ; Shabani, M. O ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of initial Hydrogen level and cooling rate on ultimate tensile strength of commercial Al-A319 alloys. Three hydrogen levels (0.01, 0.2, and 0.41 mL/100 grams of melt) and five cooling rate were studied. Total of 45 tensile test bars was prepared (three hydrogen levels × five cooling rate × three repeats). The UTS of the samples was determined though uniaxial tension tests. Furthermore, the microstructures of the samples were studied by standard metallographic technique and image analysis software. Finally the relationship between UTS and microstructurai features—SDAS and fraction of porosity (Fp%)—of the alloys was investigated.Results of tensile...
Experimental Study of Common Refrigerants Replacement with Hydrocarbon Mixture in Automotive Air Conditioning System
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Soltanieh, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to the environmental concern for the harmful effect of the release of HFCs on global warming there has been more interest for the use of hydrocarbons as refrigerants in recent years. In this project the performance of these refrigerants have been studied and compared with common refrigerants from the quantitative and qualitative point of view using a real-scale model of Peugeot-405 air conditioning system. Charging amount, inside temperature, cooling load, energy consumption of cycle, coefficient of performance and required time to steady state condition are the important comparative criteria for such a study. After carrying out a series of tests it has been considered that charge...
Design and Fabrication of an Ejector Refrigeration Cycle
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hakkakifard, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to 18000 MW power consumption of cooling systems from the total Iranian electricity consumption in 2016 and hitting a new peak in 2017, the need for finding other alternatives that consume less electrical energy is inevitable. Hence, instead of buildings new power plants, only to meet the demand at the peak of power consumption, using new solutions to reduce consumption seems more beneficial. One way to reduce consumption is to switch to ejector refrigeration systems. One of the main advantages of these systems is their ability to cooling using low-grade waste energies or solar energy (as a heat source below 80℃). However, in absorption systems, the minimum temperature of the heat source...

Abstract
In the present study, exergoeconomic optimization of a trigeneration system for cooling, heating and power purposes has been carried out. The system is made up of air compressor, combustion chamber, gas turbine, dual pressure heat recovery steam generator and absorption chiller in order to produce cooling, heating and power. The design parameters of this study are selected as: air compressor pressure ratio, gas turbine inlet temperature, pinch point temperatures in dual pressure heat recovery steam generator, pressure of steam that enters the generator of absorption chiller, process steam pressure and evaporator of the absorption chiller chilled water outlet temperature. The economic model...
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs): Development, surface modification and applications in chemotherapy
, Article Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews ; Volume 63, Issue 1-2 , January–February , 2011 , Pages 24-46 ; 0169409X (ISSN) ; Sant, S ; Wang, B ; Laurent, S ; Sen, T ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
At present, nanoparticles are used for various biomedical applications where they facilitate laboratory diagnostics and therapeutics. More specifically for drug delivery purposes, the use of nanoparticles is attracting increasing attention due to their unique capabilities and their negligible side effects not only in cancer therapy but also in the treatment of other ailments. Among all types of nanoparticles, biocompatible superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with proper surface architecture and conjugated targeting ligands/proteins have attracted a great deal of attention for drug delivery applications. This review covers recent advances in the development of SPIONs together...
