Oil reservoir Protection and production optimization requires the proper use of EOR methods. One of the conventional methods of EOR is chemical flooding (for example polymer, alkaline – Polymer, Nano - Polymer and Alkaline - Nano – Polymer flooding) which used for controlling mobility ratio of fluid within a reservoir, altering surface tension between fluids, and change reservoir wettability. On the other hand prediction of oil production in reservoirs during chemical injection processis impossible without having two-phase relative permeability functions and meanwhile, data from the experimental results of these functions are limited.In this study, effect of polymer type and concentration in... 

In line with developments in the technology of integrated circuits, transistors are implemented in silicon. Although the price is reduced; design is more complicated, which causes the efficiency and power consumption to face some difficulties in such design. The reason why modern GDI-based circuit is the focus of attention is that in designing a digital circuit, less power is required while more efficiency is obtained. Lowering the complexity of the logic circuit can bring about reduction of power consumption and propagation delay and decrease the circuit space. GDI-based integrated circuits resemble MOSFET transistors but have fewer transistors and higher performance capability. This study...

Raising number of vehicles and increasing tendency of people to possess their own cars have posed a lot of expenses on users. One of the most significant of them is the time it takes to travel between origin and destination. Several researches have been conducted so far in order to evenly distribute travel times among transportation network users. A variable that has been neglected in many of these studies is travel time variability. Users, obviously, need to know not only the travel time, but also the probability of varying this time. In this research, an analytical model has been developed on a geometrical basis that includes both traffic conditions and intersection characteristics to... 

The huge jam complex unit in assaluye (tenth olefin plan) with the capacity of 1320000 tons of ethylene and 306 thousand tons of propylene is considered as one of the biggest olefin units of all world. It is found that the bottleneck of increasing the capacity is the demethanizer unit. In this thesis, after simulation of the demethanizer towers, capacity enhancement is accomplished along with comparing the outlet stream with PFD data in terms of mass fractions, temperature and pressure. in addition, the hydrolic treat ment of towers is checked. This is continued till a problem occures in each of towers. In the bottleneck capacity , a solution and some changes have been offered. Thereafter... 

During the past two decades, laminated composite structures have been used for many engineering applications, including aerospace, automotive, sport equipment and pressure vessels.
In spite of the excellent properties of strength to weight ratio, composite structures are vulnerable to failure when subjected to impact and vibration. It is well known that impact damage may severely degrade the strength and stability of laminated composite structures. For this reason the effect of impact on composites has been a subject of extensive research.
There are several ways of decreasing the vibration energy of structures, such as diminishing the source energy, designing structures...

Microtubules are hollow cylindrical structures of 25 nanometer diameter inside cell membrane. Microtubule (MT) serves as a cell structure component and vesicular transport inside cell. It has been shown in recent researches that the persistence length in MTs is length dependent and increases about several times of counter length. Also helical structures of MTs have been found recently. In this research using Molecular Dynamic simulation of coarse-grained microtubular structures we compare persistence length of wild and helical microtubular structures. We show that the persistence length in helical structures is independent to the length.
 

Recently, demand for using variant applications in distributed networks has been increased largely. Most of these applications are based on group communication.In distributed group communication, two important factors need to be considered, group construction, and Group Key Management (GKM). The group construction specifies the process of constructing a new group by cooperation between distributed users. As well, GKM ensures re-freshness of the group key after each join/leave operation. Both of these tasks must be done by collaboration between members. This leads to imposing complexity and communication overhead to the system.This thesis proposes efficient methods for group construction and... 

Phenomena such as collective movements of birds and fish, collective and harmonious activities of ants, termites, bacteria, etc. have inspired engineers to create and develop the idea of swarm robotics. Robotic groups can be used for applications such as searching the environment, patrolling, cooperation in moving heavy objects and so on. One of the issues considered regarding swarm robotics is the formation of geometric shape by the multi robots system. Two main methods are employed for solving the problem of shape formation: the leader-follower method, and the artificial potential functions method.This thesis presents some control algorithms for shape formation in multi-robot systems on... 

Noise or noise pollution, is defined as an unwanted sound, produced mostly by motor vehicles in urban areas. If the noise exceeds its limit, adverse effects on users and citizens are expected. Thus the assessment of the noise level and its comparison with allowable values is mandatory. Traffic induced noise depends upon different factors such as traffic, weather, and, sound barriers. Noise pollution study has a long history all over the world. Many studies, mostly representing the outdoor noise pollution models, have been done in recent years. This paper presents an assessment of traffic-induced noise in a heavily traveled tunnel, locally referred to as Resalat tunnel, which is located in...

Fresh water has always been one of the basic needs of human. Thus using different methods for water purification becomes more important in recent years. In classic methods such as distillation chamber and thermal method, water flux was always low and salt rejection wasn’t satisfactory. So investigating new methods such as nanofiltration becomes more important. This method has high efficiency and good water flux in compare with old methods. One of the useful materials in nanofiltration is grapheme oxide (GO). GO sheets make an array of nanochannels and this membrane improves filtration and water flux. Different parameters affect water flux and salt rejection in this membrane. Restructuring...
