The inner cylinder rotates about its vertical axis and the outer cylinder is kept stationary. This geometry simulates, for example, the gaps at the ends of the rotor of vertical electric motors. The results facilitate the thermal design of such devices. The governing equations for velocity and temperature are solved by finite volume techniques in which the SIMPLE algorithm is incorporated. Results are presented for a range of Reynolds numbers Re and for various values of aspect ratio. It has been found that for high values of Re, the flow is dominated by centrifugal forces whereas for low values of Re the flow is dominated by gravitational buoyancy. To facilitate the use of results for design, some correlations were developed which represent the heat transfer coefficient as a continuous function of the investigated independents parameters.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Heat integration of thermally coupled distillation column is one of the methods to reduce energy-consumption. This paper provides a comparison between two simple columns with direct configuration and thermally coupled distillation column with direct sequence backward integration arrangement for separation of a ternary mixture based on energy-consumption. The influence of changing numbers of first and second column trays on heating and cooling rate of each column are investigated based on a developed mathematical model using conservation law of mass and energy and bubble-point method. The average relative error between calculated and industrial temperatures in some trays is about 0.74%. The condenser duty of high pressure column is about 9.73×109 kJ/h to provide heating of low pressure column. According to the simulation results, the thermally coupled construction saves energy about 50% more.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Chemoinformatics Chem.

The mechanical properties of graphene as well as its electronic structure are determined by using the density functional theory calculations within the framework of generalized gradient approximation. In the case of electronic properties, the simulations are applied for symmetrical and asymmetrical strain distributions in elastic range; also the tight-binding approach is implemented to verify the results. It is indicated that the energy band gap does not change with the symmetrical strain distribution but depend on the asymmetric strain distribution, increasing strain leads to band gap opening around the Fermi level.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Many statistical models and learning tools have been developed to correlate the molecules’ structure with their chemical, physical or biological properties. The role of data mining in chemistry is to evaluate “hidden†information in a set of chemical data.

Since, under realistic conditions, continuous flow capillary reactors are influenced by noise in the feed streams, the stability of such a reactor for a system of three liquids was analyzed through its largest Lyapunov exponents. Simulations showed that although the aim of RDLFP is to improve mixing, poorly mixed microreactors are more robust to the influx of noise than well-mixed tubes. Therefore, these contrasting requirements have to be balanced to decide the besy operating conditions. Multi-component noise in multi-fluid systems can also induce stochastic resonance, which may either enhance or reduce stability. Thus, it is important and useful to filter the noise judiciously to promote reactor stability.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Chemoinformatics Chem.
