Abstract
In this work, we numerically study the effects of turbulence intensity at the fuel and oxidizer stream inlets on the soot aerosol nano-particles formation in a kerosene fuel-based combustor. In this regard, we study the turbulence intensity effects specifically on the thermal performance and nanoparticulate soot aerosol emissions. To construct our computer model, we simulate the soot formation and oxidation using the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons PAHs-inception and the hydroxyl concept, respectively. Additionally, the soot nucleation process is described using the phenyl route, in which the soot inception is described based on the formations of tworinged and three-ringed aromatics from...

Abstract
The Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH) apart from its use as a versatile rocket fuel, finds numerous industrial applications. Interest in UDMH for various applications in the missile and rocket industry has prompted the study of this member of hydrazine family to greater extent. It can be prepared in several ways but one of the most efficient ones which results in higher yields is the catalytic hydrogenation of Nitroso Dimethylamine (NDMA). In this work the kinetic of NDMA to UDMH hydrogenation on a 5% Pd/C in aqueous solution of NDMA was studied experimentally and optimum conditions of the reaction for maximum yield of UDMH in the presence of undesired dimethyl amine (DMA) product was...
