Investigation of Asphaltene Stability in the Iranian Crude Oils
Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2008, Pages 3-12

Abstract
  The influence of different factors on the asphaltene stability in three iranian crude oils was evaluated. Compositional studies and structural characterization of resins and asphaltenes were carried out in order to study a possible relationship between these properties and asphaltene deposition behavior. ...  Read More

An NLP Approach for Evolution of Heat Exchanger Networks Designed by Pinch Technology
Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2008, Pages 13-21

Abstract
  Common methods to design heat exchanger networks (HENs) by pinch technology usually need an evolutionary step to reduce the number of heat transfer units. This step is called loop breaking and is based on the removal of exchangers that impose minimum increase on utility consumption. Loops identification ...  Read More

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

Oil Sorption by Synthesized Exfoliated Graphite (EG)
Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2008, Pages 51-64

Abstract
  > In this paper a chemical method applied to synthesize exfoliated graphite (EG) is presented. In this method graphite intercalation compound (GIC) was firstly synthesized by chemical treatment of graphite flakes using a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids followed by thermal shock of GIC at 1000°C ...  Read More

Enhanced Degumming of Soyabean Oil and its Influences on Degummed Oil and Lecithin
Volume 5, Issue 1 , January 2008, Pages 65-73

Abstract
  e"> In order to study the effective factors on the quality and quantity of lecithin extracted from soybean oil and the residual amount of phosphatids in degummed oil, this study was arranged. Crude oil recovered from soybean which had been processed by conventional solvent extraction and reached a ...  Read More
