An Efficient Coupled Genetic Algorithm-NLP Method for Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis
Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2008, , Pages 22-33

Abstract
  Synthesis of heat exchanger networks (HENs) is inherently a mixed integer and nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem. Solving such problems leads to difficulties in the optimization of continuous and binary variables. This paper presents a new efficient and robust method in which structural parameters ...  Read More

Study on Trend of Biodegradability of Phenolic Compounds During Photo-Fenton Advanced Oxidation Process
Volume 5, Issue 4 , October 2008, , Pages 23-32

Abstract
  Phenolic acids constitute a major group of pollutants which are recalcitrant to common biological treatment. In this study synthetic wastewater containing a mixture of p-coumaric and p-hydroxybenzoic acids was evaluated for photo-Fenton pretreatment. The changes in biodegradability (ratio of biochemical ...  Read More

Effects of Vertical Temperature Gradient on Heavy Gas Dispersion in Build up Area
Volume 6, Issue 3 , July 2009, , Pages 26-45

Abstract
  ewline"> Dispersion of heavy gases is considered to be more hazardous than the passive ones because it takes place more slowly. When the gas is accidentally released at ground level or where there are many obstacles in the area it is considered to be a heavy gas. In this paper, based on the extensive ...  Read More

Methanol Steam Reforming Catalyzing over Cu/Zn/Fe Mixed Oxide Catalysts

A. Irankhah; M. Jafari; M. Mahmoudizadeh

Volume 14, Issue 1 , March 2017, , Pages 26-39

Abstract
  Methanol steam reforming plays a pivotal role to produce hydrogen for fuel cell systems in a low temperature range. To accomplish higher methanol conversion and lower CO production, the reaction was catalyzed by CuZnFe mixed oxides. Various ratios of Fe and Cu/Zn were coprecipitated in differential method ...  Read More
