, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemeini, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Hasannia, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, graphene-based materials have received much attention due to their prominent physicochemical properties such as high specific surface area, high mechanical strength and rich surface functional groups. In addition to these properties, low cost and environmental safety make graphene-based materials a green catalyst for many catalytic processes, including oxidative desulfurization. Tin oxide is a substance with strong acidic sites. Recent studies have shown that the oxidative desulfurization process using tin oxide nanoparticles is a new method for producing cleaner diesel fuels. In this study, rGO based tin oxide nanocatalyst was synthesized. To synthesize this catalyst,...

Abstract
Electric arc furnaces are used to make steel from scrap iron in steel industry. Nowadays, the aim of more researches in this area is to increase yield of furnace and it's compatibility with environment. One of the methods to achieve these purposes is to control the off-gas system as relative pressure in furnace would be kept negative. Because the combustion gases inside the furnace must not leak into the plant environment. However for preventing of loss of energy, the amount of this negative number must be small. In this paper, new intelligent control method named fuzzy emotional control, applied to off- gas system to control the relative pressure in the furnace and its result is compared to...

Abstract
The XW/rGO compounds (XW = Co or Ni modified WO3) have has been utilized as catalysts in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process of a liquid model fuel containing dibenzothiophene (DBT). Various characterization methods were carried out to complete evaluations of the prepared catalysts. Moreover, using the GC–MS method, it became clear that the final product of the process was dibenzothiophene sulfone (DBTO2). Furthermore, results showed that under the optimized conditions (oxidant to substrate molar ratio = 6, 75 °C and catalyst to substrate molar ratio = 0.08), the DBT content of a model fuel was declined by 100% only within a reaction duration time of 45 min using the CoW (20)/rGO...

Abstract
In this contribution, CoW/X materials (X = CNT or CNF) were utilized as oxidative desulfurization (ODS) catalysts for the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from a model fuel (n-decane), incorporating the H2O2 as an efficient oxidant. Different operating conditions were investigated. Both compounds revealed high desulfurization efficiency using milder operating conditions leading to low levels of the DBT compound since only 1 h while using a low ratio of H2O2/S = 6. Among synthesized compounds, the CoW (15)/CNT showed superior DBT conversion through the ODS process. In other words, the highest sulfur removal efficiency of 100% for a feed sulfur content of 500 ppm was determined in a 40-min...

Abstract
In this study the authors present an in-depth study, analysis and discussion on maximum likelihood (ML)-based receiver for a typical spectrally encoded spread-time CDMA in the presence of multiple narrowband interference (NBI) signals in an additive white Gaussian noise channel. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that by combining useful properties of ML-based receiver and three-level codes, that is, codes with values of -1, 0, +1, the authors can introduce a new strategy in which superior performance with respect to previous receiver structure based on two-level codes, that is, codes with values of -1, +1, can be attained. With the help of an example, the authors drive, first, the...
Investigation of Multiphase Flow in Oil Wells (with Focus on Two Phase Flow), Flow Pattern Recognition and Modeling
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shad, Saeed (Supervisor) ; Jamshidi, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
The concurrent flow of oil and water is a common occurrence in the field of multiphase flow in different fields including petroleum industry. In oil and gas, production engineers often face a situation in which more than one phase is flowing through the producers. In such conditions an accurate assessment of pressure loss inside the well plays a vital role in efficient and effective production planning. Changes in well orientation, wellbore diameter, reservoir and fluid properties as well as fluid flow rates are among parameters in which will affect the flow patterns that can occur inside a well during its life time. These flow patterns are created as a result of a competition between...
Casing Design Optimization Considering Drilling and Production Conditions
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jamshidi, Saeed (Supervisor) ; Shad, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Casing design is one of the most expensive parts in the drilling of oil wells, and any cost reduction with the basic design of these casing strings will significantly reduce the total cost of the operation. In recent years, occurring scenarios-based casing design has become popular; Because in many cases, it eliminates non-occurring scenarios such as gas kick and saves on drilling costs. In this study, we have tried to investigate all scenarios that may occur during the lifetime of the well, whether drilling or production, and for each well, based on its own field information, possible scenarios for each casing part are selected separately and the applying loads are calculated. For this...
PRI (Palm Rotation Indicator): a metric for postural stability in dynamic nonprehensile manipulation [electronic resource]
, Article Journal of MECHANIKA ; 2012, Vol. 18, No. 4, pp. 461-466 ; Meghdar, Ali ; Sohrabpour, Saeed ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this study, we discuss the postural stability of a nonprehensile manipulation problem, which deals with multibody objects. As a metric for postural stability, we define PRI. Then, the system is posturally stable, if PRI is inside the convex hull of the object-manipulator contact surface. We then discuss that dynamic biped locomotion is a special case of dynamic nonprehensile manipulation in all aspects; we prove that ZMP (zero-moment point) and FRI (zoot rotation indicator) are special cases of PRI (palm rotation indicator). Simulations and experiments corresponding to simple examples support the results

Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation behavior of the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam was investigated. A carbon nanoparticle (CNP)-chitosan (CS) film-coated graphite electrode (PGE) was fabricated and the electrochemical behaviors of piroxicam on its surface was investigated by the means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In comparison to the bare PGE, at the surface of the CNP-CS film modified electrode, the oxidation peak current of piroxicam increased significantly and the peak potential shifted negatively. Consequently, a simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of piroxicam. The...

Abstract
At the first part of this thesis, a pyrolitic graphite electrode (PGE) modified with graphite/nanodiamond film (GND) was applied as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination and study of electrochemical behavior of tryptophan (Trp) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in aqueous solutions. The results showed that GND caused a remarkable increase in the peak currents so the GND/PGE electrode surface was more sensitive to the concentration of Trp and 5-HTP than the PGE surface. The determination of Trp and 5-HTP were investigated by stripping voltammetry. Experimental parameters such as scan rate, pH, accumulation conditions and amount of the modifier used on the PGE surface were...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shahrokhian, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
At the first part of this thesis, a pyrolitic graphite electrode (PGE) modified with new coccine/multi-walled carbon nanotubes film (NC/MWCNT) was applied as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination and study of electrochemical behavior of tyrosine (Tyr) in aqueous solutions. The results showed that NC/MWCNT caused a remarkable increase in the peak current so the NC/MWCNT/PGE electrode surface was far more sensitive to the concentration of Tyr than the PGE surface. The determination of Tyr was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Experimental parameters, such as scan rate, pH and amount of the modifier used on the PGE surface were optimized by monitoring the LSV...
Rationality of Scientific Knowledge From the Point of View of Feyerabend
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; ZibaKalam, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Feyerabend was a philosopher of science that became famous for his purportedly anarchistic view of science and his rejection of the existence of universal methodological rules and rationality of science. Feyerabend’s view of science can be summarize in a few points; 1. On the issue of falsifiability, Feyerabend argues that no theory is ever consistent with all the relevant facts. He sees the use of ad-hoc postulates to save the dominant paradigm as an essential to the progress of science. He claims that scientists frequently depart completely from the scientific method when they use ad-hoc ideas to explain observations that are only later justified by theory. To Feyerabend, ad-hoc...
