Supported Ionic Liquid Membranes (SILMs) are fabricated by saturating the pores of a porous support with ionic liquids. To assess the performance of SILMS, it is necessary to obtain data about the properties of ionic liquids such as diffusivity, solubility, and etc. To accomplish this task, in this project the permeability and diffusivity of CO2 and CH4 through three immidazolium-based ionic liquids: [bmim][PF6], [hmim][Tf2N], and "1-methyl-3-(3- tri methoxi silil propyl) imidazolium bis (tri fluoro methyl solphonyl)" , in the temperature range between 27-45 ℃ and pressures within 10-50 kPa, are measured. It is shown in data validation section that the results of this study are in good... 

Reduction in the oil reserves level and the increasing of fossil fuel prices and GHG has led to growing value of attention to biodiesel. Reserves of fossil fuels are running out and should have proper alternative for them. Environmental benign and renewable properties of biodiesel make it consider suitable candidate to replace fossil fuels.
In this study, continuous production of biodiesel and optimization of important and influential parameters have been investigated. The method is concluded of trans esterification of soya oil with methanol as feed in presence of homogeneous catalyst of NaOH. The reactor was simple with high efficiency and low operational and investment cost. The... 

Concerns have increased about global warming caused by CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. At the moment, carbon capture and storage is the best available solution. Among the current technologies for CCS, amine-based chemical absorption appears to be the most common method. Amines show several inherent drawbacks such as high vapor pressure, high energy consumption in regeneration, corrosivity and degradability. So, researchers have developed new solvents with the foresight of being superior to amines. Ionic liquids (ILs) are among the most suitable alternatives. The most prominent feature of ILs is their tunable thermophysical properties. In this work, physical absorption by ILs is chosen as... 

Supported ionic liquid membranes are prepared by filling the pores of a porous membrane with ionic liquids. Permeability values of carbon dioxide and methane and also selectivity value of CO2⁄CH4 through ionic liquids stabilized on porous alumina membrane supports have been experimentally investigated. We have used [hmim][Tf2N] and two synthesized ionic liquids, 1,6-Di(3-methylimidazolium)hexane bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (h[mim]2[Tf2N]2) and 1,3-Di(3-methylimidazolium)propane bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (pr[mim]2[Tf2N]2) in our research. The experiments have been done in the temperature range of 27–45 ℃ and pressures of 10–50 kPa and the impact of the temperature and pressure... 

Due to growth of the number of passengers in subway transportation systemsthe capacity of the metro stations are on the rise.The generated heat loads in subway line shall be increased by thegrowth of the its capacity. As a result, current subway ventilation systems cannot provide comfort conditions for passengers. Nowadays, modern ventilation systems are designedto improve ventilation performance and to create suitable thermal conditions. Among of these, the under platform andover track exhaust systems and use of platform screen doors can be Cited. The aim of this study is three-dimensional simulation of air flow in modern ventilation systems of subway stations. Numerical simulations are in... 

The ability to determine the nature of the low temperature state of the interacting quantum system is one of the main goals of condensed matter theory. Nevertheless, despite ongoing efforts, no single method has proved to work perfectly for interacting systems. In this thesis, we employ the strong-coupling perturbation theory which corresponds to an expansion in powers of the hopping t around the atomic limit. So, first the strong-coupling perturbation theory is introduced. Next we apply this approach to the half-filled Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice. Within this approach, we are able to obtain an analytical form for single-particle gap, extracted from density of state, as a function of... 

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of difference in electrical resistivity between low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel on the physical and mechanical properties and fracture mode of dissimilar resistance spot welds of these alloys. For this purpose, plastic deformation using constrained groove pressing combined with rolling applied to low carbon steel in three levels of 40%, 156% and 272%. Microstructural characterization, micro-hardness measurements and shear-tension test were performed. It was shown that by increasing the pre-strain in low carbon steel its electrical resistivity increases from 13.08 μΩ.cm to 19.5 μΩ.cm and because of reduction of...
