Distributed Robust Model Predictive Control for Multi-zone Air Conditioning Systems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moradi, Hamed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Optimizing the energy consumption of air conditioning systems has gained great importance in recent years. In addition, maintaining thermal comfort and air quality in buildings is important. The multi-evaporator air conditioning system, which is a direct expansion system, shows the complex and distributed structure of air conditioning systems due to the thermal connection between zones and its large scale. The modeling of these systems is associated with uncertainties. Therefore, designing a suitable control structure for multi-zone systems is very important to achieve optimal energy consumption and maintain comfort conditions in the presence of uncertainty. Model predictive control has been...
Fuzzy Statistical Interpretation of Linear Dynamic System Reliability
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sadati, Nasser (Supervisor)
Abstract
Reliability analysis in engineering systems is one of important parts in design stage. Stress-Strength method is a method for reliability analysis in engineering systems. To obtain reliability, stress and strength distribution functions should be known, but these functions depend on design parameters and mostly these parameters are unknown. Usually obtaining exact stress and strength distributions is difficult and there is some uncertainty in distribution functions and their parameters. Also, weakness and uncertainty in data makes it difficult to calculate exact stress and strength distributions. In the case, when data is weak, results in point estimation methods (for example Maximum...

Abstract
The AASHTO Standard Specification defines diaphragms as a transverse member between girders in order to maintain sectional geometry. Some of the reasons in favor of using a diaphragm are that it prevents the girders from twisting during the process of construction and helps in distributing vertical live loads between girders and transfers lateral loads (wind or earthquake) to supports. It also provides restraint for the lateral-torsional buckling of the girders. While diaphragms at the ends of bridges are called end diaphragms, the diaphragms away from the bridge ends are called intermediate diaphragms. These members are usually made of steel or cast-in-place concrete. Based on their...
Performance of buried gas distribution pipelines subjected to reverse fault movement
, Article Journal of Earthquake Engineering ; Volume 22, Issue 6 , 2018 , Pages 1068-1091 ; 13632469 (ISSN) ; Rahimzadeh Rofooei, F ; Khajeh Ahmad Attari, N ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In the current work, the results of full-scale laboratory testing of 114.3 and 168.3 mm in diameter steel gas distribution pipes buried at different depths and in two different soil types under a reverse fault offset of 0.6 m are presented and discussed in terms of longitudinal strain distribution, pipe deformation, and cross-section distortion. Results show that the pipe deformation and accordingly its failure mode, and soil failure planes change with increasing burial depth. It was also found that severe cross-section distortion occurs at about 2.3 times the strain limit for onset of wrinkling suggested by various guidelines. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC

Abstract
Permanent ground displacement (PGD) caused by surface faulting is considered as one of the most significant hazards affecting buried pipelines. Pipelines crossing reverse-slip faults are subjected to compressive actions (stresses and strains) which can result in buckling of the pipe. In current work, the results obtained from the full-scale laboratory testing and finite element analyses of 4″ (114.3 mm) and 6″ (168.3 mm) steel gas pipes (without internal pressure) buried inside a split box and subjected to a reverse faulting of 0.6 m (pure dip-slip) are presented. These pipes are commonly used in gas distribution lines and networks. The experimental setup, procedure and instrumentation as...
Investigation of the Reaction of Dithiocarbamic Acid Salts with Fluorinating Agents
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ziyaei Halimejani, Azim (Supervisor)
Abstract
Dithiocarbamates have demonstrated extensive applications as synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of functional groups and heterocyclic rings. These compounds, due to their high nucleophilicity, are capable of reacting with a wide range of electrophiles, including aldehydes, alkyl halides, azo compounds, diazo compounds, and many others, yielding diverse and valuable products. This project aims to investigate the reaction of dithiocarbamate salts with fluorinating agents for the synthesis of thiocarbamoyl fluorides. Initially, dithiocarbamate salts were prepared via the reaction of amines with carbon disulfide and the presence of an inorganic base, followed by their conversion to target...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Behavior of Buried Pipes Subjected to Permanent Ground Deformation Caused by Reverse Faulting
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Rahimzadeh Rofooei, Fayaz (Supervisor) ; Khajeh Ahmad Attari, Nader (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
In this study the behavior of buried pipes under permanent ground deformation (PGD) ef-fects caused by reverse faulting is investigated by means of both experimental and numeri-cal approaches. A total number of 7 full-scale experiments on buried steel pipes subjected to a fault offset of 0.6 m along the slip plane is carried out and the effects of different pa-rameters such as pipe diameter (114.3 mm (4ʺ) and 168.3 mm (6ʺ)), burial depth (0.25m, 0.5m, 1 m) and soil type (SW and SM) on the response of the buried pipes are studied. Ex-perimental results show that the pipe deformation shape changes with increasing burial depth from half-sine (for shallow depths) to an S-shape (for moderate to...

To optimize the reaction conditions, ethanol and water were tested as solvents in the presence of ZrCl4 as catalyst. According to the data obtained, ethanol was selected as the optimum solvent using ZrCl4 as...

Investigation of One-Pot Three-Component Reaction of Naphthalenediols with Formaldehyde and Amines under Catalyst-free Conditions
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Saidi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Ziyaei Halimehjani, Azim (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, a catalyst-free Mannich reaction is applied for synthesis of 1,3-oxazines as an important class of biologically active compounds. In order to consider environmental application a mixture of water and ethanol is selected as a solvent for the reaction of 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene with formaldehyde and an amine. Primary consideration of substitution effect on the reaction revealed that aniline and its derivatives with electron-donating substituent and halogens, cause higher yield. Aliphatic amines are not good substrate for this reaction with the exception of benzyl amine

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mahmoodi Hashemi, Mohammed (Supervisor) ; Ziyaei Halimehjani, Azim (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
In the first section, for the first time, a reaction of dithiocarbamic acid salts with carbonyl compounds has been investigated in the presence of BF3.OEt2. The reaction is temperature dependent meaning that the reaction gives two different products at low and high temperatures. At 15-20 0C, the 2-iminium-1,3-dithietane is the main product.As the reaction temperature goes up, formation of gem-bis(dithiocarbamates) is dominant.In addition, deprotection of gem-bis(dithiocarbamates) was investigated by using of nitric acid as the only deprotecting agent. The structure of a 2-iminium-1,3-dithietane was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Abstract
Dithiocarbamate is one of the most useful components in the science of chemistry. They are used not only in agriculture as fungicides but also in photochemistry in order to determine and analyse NO in biological processes as well as in polymerization routes. Dithiocarbamates which are known as bidentate ligands with high yield are applied in many fields such as producing chemical drugs, functioning as intermediates in organic synthesis, protecting groups in peptide synthesis as well as highly chelating ligands. Regarding the high practically of dithiocarbamates and by focusing on their synthesis process, we have applied them as bidentate ligands. Cinnamaldehyde was condensed in ethanol with...
