In compressor design, it is necessary to simulate the compressor before manufacturing and performing experimental studies. One of the most efficient and common modeling methods is zero D analysis using scaling method with constant coefficients. Although it is efficient in the vicinity of the design point, its results are not acceptable in the off design points due to the growing error by getting away from design points. In this research, a novel zero D analysis method is developed predict accurately the compressor performance not only in the design point but also in the off design pint. In this method, variable coefficients are used instead of constant coefficients, which are obtained based... 

In this report, the fabrication of vertically aligned carbon nanotube nanoelectrode array (VACNT-NEA) by photolithography method is presented. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry was performed to characterize the arrays with respect to different diffusion regimes. The fabricated array illustrated sigmoidal cyclic voltammogram with steady state current dominated by radial diffusion. The fabricated VACNT-NEA and high density VACNTs were employed as electrochemical glutamate biosensors. Glutamate dehydrogenase is covalently attached to the tip of CNTs. The voltammetric biosensor, based on high density VACNTs, exhibits a sensitivity of 0.976 mA mM-1 cm-2 in the...
