During the simulation, the effects of different voltages on the bubble, bubble ascent, Reynolds and Nusselt number were investigated. The results showed that the more polar air bubbles in the fluid changed and diverted its route. Applying an electric field, reduces separation time, resulting in the formation of bubbles and more bubbles generated at the same time that it increases the heat transfer.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Creating porosity is the primary challenge of tissue engineering scaffolds. But, the most important challenge is to create uniform nanofibers. For these reasons, controlling producing of electrospun nanofiber becomes important. The most suitable method for controlling instability is using modeling and computer simulations. The dynamic analysis of the jet formation and its instability is difficult during the process. In this study, the behavior of the electrospinning process has been investigated by using bead-spring model to see the process in detail. Simulation of this model showed the jet behavior from the first second to the end by bringing in one bead step by step. Therefore, by increasing the number of beads, the behavior of jet during whipping part was obviously expressed.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Chemoinformatics Chem.

The results of simulation were in accordance with experiments and showed that because of domination of surface tension by gravity and electric forces, diameter of droplets and their formation time were decreased. In addition, applying electrical potential at the velocity of 0.007 m/s has led to formation of jet and small droplets of liquid. Formation time of the droplet was decreased by increasing the velocity ten times higher than the previous time, to 0.07 m/s. By using the results of hydrodynamic simulation of droplet, convective heat transfer coefficient of droplet was calculated in various electrical potentials that showed heat transfer coefficient increased by growth of electrical potential.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

To investigate influencing various parameters on the injected liquid species in the riser, conservation equations are primarily needed. A novel model to predict droplet mean diameter (DMD) due to computing penetration depth of the jet flowing through the riser was proposed. The proposed model is able to indirect predict DMD based on direct computation of spray tip penetration (STP). The model has been validated by some empirical correlations. In this study, influencing gas superficial velocity, liquid injection velocity, jet angle and nozzle diameter on DMD were investigated. The results for both concurrent and counter-current flows showed that the decrease of jet angle and injection velocity improves DMD. In addition, increasing orifice diameter (as a structural parameter) arising mean drop size can decline performance of atomizing. It also displayed close agreement between the model predictions and experimental data. In this work, the measurement error associated with STP was determined up to 2.7 mm, and the mean relative error with respect to detecting STP is 4.3%.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

A multiple regression first order model obtained as which shows a functional relationship between the degradation rate of CAP, three experimental factors and the interactions of the factors on the entire process. The results show that the factor pH and TiO2 have strong effect on the process while CAP concentration has weak effect in comparison to other factors, within the range tested. Interaction X2X3 and X1X2X3 also significantly affect the degradation experiment. TiO2 concentration has a positive effect but pH and CAP concentration have negative effect on the entire degradation process. An average of 80.22% of degradation rate of CAP can be achieved from current setup.
