Design and Optimization of a Subsonic Wind Tunnel Profile with Two Test Sections using CFD
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Darbandi, Masoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this project, we are willing to analyze and design a subsonic wind tunnel WT configuration for the Aerospace Engineering Department in Sharif University of Technology. This WT will be an open-circuit "suck down" type, whose entry is open to the atmosphere (laboratory) and three axial fans downstream of its test section. In addition to three parallel fans, we are expected to design two simultaneous small and large size test sections for it. The small and large sections would have an area about 1.4 and 4 m2and maintain a maximum air velocity of 100 and 50 m/s, respectively. So, our design is faced with two main complexities. In one hand, we are to manage the air flow through these two test...

Abstract
In this study nickel ferrite magnetic nanoparticles were applied as an efficient and reusable catalyst in the four-component synthesis of substituted pyrroles under neat conditions. The reaction was conducted using various amounts of catalyst at different temperatures and finally, application of 5 mol% of catalyst at 100 °C was determined as the optimum reaction condition. Results showed that nickel ferrite nanoparticles could catalyze the reaction at relatively short times (3-4 h) with high to excellent yields (70-96%). The catalyst could be recovered easily using an external magnetic field and reused nine times without any significant activity lost

, Article Computational and Theoretical Chemistry ; Vol. 1044, issue , 2014 , Pages 36-43 ; ISSN: 2210271X ; Saboohi, Y ; Sharif University of Technology
2014
Abstract
In the present work, adsorption of hydrogen molecules over a metal organic framework (MOF-5) has been investigated by using first principles density functional theory (DFT). Different strategies have been applied for improving hydrogen storage, i.e. metal doping, boron substitution and functionalization. The metal atoms used for enhancing hydrogen adsorption include Li, Ca and Sc. It is found that the binding energy between these metal atoms and MOF is not enough to prevent clustering. Therefore a number of carbon atoms are substituted by boron atoms and it is indicated that boron substitution enhances the binding energies, significantly. Also the results reveal that boron substituted MOF...

Abstract
In the present work the interaction of hydrogen molecules with perfect, defective and scandium doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) has been evaluated. At first the potential barrier for the penetration of hydrogen molecules through PAH structures has been investigated and then the adsorption of hydrogen molecules over PAH structures has been studied. To model the graphene surface for barrier calculations, it is shown that coronene can successfully estimate the graphene monolayer. The barrier height is calculated for perfect and two different defective PAH structures including Stone-Wales (SW) and 585. It is found that PAH even with small defects is impermeable to hydrogen molecules....

Abstract
In the present work, the interaction of hydrogen molecules with defective graphene structures doped by transition metal (TM) atoms is investigated by using first principles density functional theory (DFT). Defective graphene structures include Stone-Wales (SW), 585 and 555-777 and transition metals include early TMs, i.e. scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti) and vanadium (V). It is found that in comparison with the pristine graphene, presence of defects significantly enhances the metal binding. Among three defects, 585 divacancy leads to the strongest binding between graphene and metal. Hydrogen adsorption is then evaluated by sequential addition of hydrogen molecules to the system. The results...

Abstract
Hydrogen appears as one of the most promising energy carriers. Hydrogen has the advantage of being the cleanest fuel and as a result it can efficiently help limiting the greenhouse effect. However one of the major barriers for the large scale use of hydrogen, especially in the transportation sector, is hydrogen storage issue. There are four different technologies for storing hydrogen which are as follows: (1) Cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH); (2) compressed gas storage; (3) metal hydride storage technology; (4) Physisorption methods. Physisorption of hydrogen in novel carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and graphene seems to be a safe and promising method for storage of hydrogen....

, Article International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology ; Volume 9, Issue 1 , 2012 , Pages 105-112 ; 17351472 (ISSN) ; Rad, M ; Sharif University of Technology
2012
Abstract
The use of more efficient energy consuming devices, which are closely associated with reduction of environmental pollution, has gained significant interest in the recent decades. The reduction of drag coefficient also improves safety and durability of environmental structures subjected to high-velocity fluid flow, and causes the noise and vibration to decrease as well. This paper describes the efficiency improvement in energy management by means of reducing drag coefficient in a practical divergent tubular- truncated cone. Extensive numerical simulations with emphasis on the shape optimization study were performed in order to find minimum drag coefficient for both laminar and turbulent flows...
Global adaptive estimation of joint velocities in robotic manipulators
, Article IET Control Theory and Applications ; Volume 4, Issue 12 , December , 2010 , Pages 2672-2681 ; 17518644 (ISSN) ; Namvar, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This study presents a method for global estimation of joint velocities in robotic manipulators. The authors consider a non-minimal model of a robotic manipulator and design an adaptive observer capable of handling uncertainties in robot dynamics. Smoothness of the dynamics of the proposed observer allows its easy implementation in comparison with non-smooth observers. Dimension of the proposed observer is shown to be at least 3n where n stands for the manipulator's degrees of freedom. This number is less than the dimension of most existing globally convergent adaptive observers. Global asymptotic convergence of state estimates to their true values is achieved under no persistency of...

Abstract
This paper gives the design and analysis approaches for the class-E power amplifier with a shunt inductor under the nominal conditions, i.e., zero-current switching (ZCS) and zero-current derivative switching (ZCDS), with taking into account the MOSFET nonlinear output parasitic capacitance at any duty ratio. Although, the class-E ZCS/ZCDS conditions obtained high-efficiency, but the switch-current waveform affected by the slope of the voltage across the MOSFET nonlinear drain-to-source parasitic capacitance during the switch-off state, which restricted the operating frequency. On the other hand, the duty ratio is an adjustment parameter to obtain high-frequency operation. Therefore, the...

We present a method for global estimation of joint velocities in robot manipulators. A non-minimal model of a robotic manipulator is used to design an adaptive observer capable of handling uncertainties in robot dynamics. Dimension of the proposed observer is shown to be at least 3n where n stands for the manipulator degrees of freedom. This number is less than the dimension of most of existing globally convergent adaptive observers. Global asymptotic convergence of system state estimates to their true values is achieved under no persistency of excitation condition. Smoothness of the dynamics of the proposed observer allows its easy implementation in comparison with non-smooth observers....

Abstract
This paper introduces a new concept that we call smart transmission expansion planning (TEP) based on unconventional high surge impedance Loading (HSIL) line designs that will revolutionize power delivery. To date, these two areas (TEP and transmission line design) have been conducted separately. For TEP, planners use the electrical parameters of a few standard conventional line designs to study planning scenarios, and then, the final candidate line is constructed. In such a sequence, cost-effective scenarios often do not meet the technical criteria of load flow. This paper will demonstrate that this sequence can be overturned; namely, a transmission expansion planner can get optimal line...

In the part of evaluating the lean management level it is the developed model of the suggested approach by Jackson “implementing a lean management system” (Jackson, 1996). As S.G.S is engaged in servicing activities not in production, we have changed some factors in Jackson's methodology. Different with the last model, we got the results and used AHP method for getting the level in each key. Finally by using another AHP the lean index of the S.G.S Co. was identified....
Design of Power Amplifier in 6-18GHz Frequency Band with Employment and Evaluation Reliability Improvement Methods
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Medi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Today usage of microwave integrated circuits in commercial and military applications is very common, especially with emerging of monolithic microwave integrated circuits that make mass production with good quality and price possible. A lot of attention are paid to designing power amplifiers used in the end of transmitter line. Because of power dispersion in transistor channels, high power amplifier causes excessive heat on the chip. Channel temperature increasing, causes operation retrogradation in circuits that result in destruction of the chip. So it is necessary to transfer this heat to the outside from the chip. It is usual to use a heatsink for this problem, however for low thermal...
