Developing of electric instruments with high performance needs high capacity heat transfer equipments. Pulsating heat pipes have better performance compared with normal heat pipes and can be used for cooling electronic instruments in near future. Also, one specific kind of heat pipes, which is called rotating pulsating heat pipe, can be used in cooling the turbine blades. Rotating pulsating heat pipe is a mechanism in which the pipes can rotate around the axis perpendicular to the plane of pipes. In this research one rotating heat pipe was built and the effects of heat input, filling ratio and rotational acceleration were examined experimentally. The Innovation in the research was to obtain... 

The mechanical spray evaporator (MSE) is a method of enhanced evaporation technology, normally designed to reduce the particle size of a wastewater droplet to volatilize water content of it as quickly as possible. A model of MSE has been built at the Institute of Water and Energy at Sharif University of technology. The aim of this research is to study the efficiency of enhanced evaporation technology for waste disposal. To achieve the accurate results, the required pumping rates and power consumption, sustained evaporation rates while operating the fans, and the performance during various temperature, wind speed and relative humidity, are required. Mechanical Spray Evaporator technique... 

Two-phase flows are widely used in petrochemical industry, chemical processes, boilers, nuclear reactors, cooling systems and air conditioning equipment. Since the problem of earth’s ozone layer and global warming, the analysis of flow characteristics in evaporators are necessary to improve performance of refrigerating systems and saving the environment. Most of the researchers have been studied the evaporation of two phase flow refrigerant through experimental studies and numerical analysis has less attention in the literature. In this Thesis, a mathematical model based on the two-phase separated flow model is developed to simulate the evaporation of pure refrigerant under constant heat... 

Due to the heat waves in the summers in recent years, the increase in temperature and climate changes, as well as the increase in population, the demand for cooling in the home is increasing day by day. This increase in demand has had a significant impact on the supply of electricity in Iran. The lack of capacity has caused more power outages to occur in the summer in recent years in Iran. To avoid these problems, the capacity of power plants can be increased, which causes more fuel consumption and environmental pollution. Another solution can be to reduce the energy consumption of subscribers. This solution not only reduces energy consumption, but also reduces environmental problems. ... 

The aim of this study is to design a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) treatment plant for mine effluent. For this purpose, wastewater from an iron ore mine was selected as a case study. Initially, recent studies on ZLD systems were reviewed, and a technically feasible process was designed to treat mine effluent with a ZLD approach. The designed process was then simulated using Aspen Plus software, and the results were utilized for an economic analysis. The simulation was performed under three design scenarios: (1) using external steam for energy supply, (2) utilizing waste heat, and (3) employing a steam compressor to superheat the saturated steam exiting the evaporative crystallizer and using...
