The effect of operating parameters, such as the kind of solvent,CBZ concentration, flow rate of solution and antisolvent on particle size, are experimentally investigated. The Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) photomicrographs show that nanodrug with smaller particle is achievable by using solvent with more supersaturation. Meanwhile, decreasing concentration causes the production of smaller particles in the range of 430 to 190nm and by increasing flow rate of solution, the particle size increases from 240 to 340 nm. Furthermore, the physical states of particles are investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test.</em>https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_14746_35fe0554a29ce6a467704ecb1ab764e4.pdfIranian Institute of Research and Development in Chemical Industries (IRDCI)-ACECRIranian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering1021-998634320150901NaHSO4-SiO2: An Efficient Reusable Green Catalyst for Selective C-3 Propargylation of Indoles with Tertiary Propargylic Alcohols11171474710.30492/ijcce.2015.14747ENMukut GohaniDepartment of Chemistry, University of the Free State, P.O.

Therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB41) and Methylene Blue (MB) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. In this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with Citric Acid (CA) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for removal of BB41 and MB dyes. Effect of various parameters including pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial dye concentration on the adsorption were studied. To characterize the adsorbents, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used. The adsorbent surface functional groups identified with Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy.The applicability of the adsorption data was explained by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and BET isotherms. The results showed that increasing of contact time and adsorbent dose, dye removal increases for both raw and modified adsorbents. Dye adsorption on to adsorbent increased with increasing of pH. Also the results indicated that dye removal efficiency was increased by decreasing initial dye concentration. Among studied isotherms, data were fitted well by Langmuir model (R<sup>2</sup>>0.98) for both raw and modified adsorbents.

IRANJournal Article20141109<em>In this paper, convection heat transfer of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. For each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. The governing equations in steady state and axisymmetric form have been solved using Finite Volume Method (FVM) with the SIMPLE algorithm. A uniform heat flux was applied on the wall. A single-phase approach has employed to model the nanofluid. Nanoparticles size is 20 nm and nanoparticles volume fraction and Reynolds number were within the ranges of 0-5% and 10,000-35,000 respectively. Comparisons between the numerical results and experimental data show that among different turbulence models, k-ε model with enhanced wall treatment gives better results. The results indicate that the heat transfer increases with nanoparticles volume fraction and Reynolds number but it is accompanied by increasing pressure drop. The simulations demonstrate that trapezoidal and semi-circular ribbed tubes have higher Nusselt number than the rectangular ribbed tubes with the same diameters. Correlations of heat transfer have obtained for different ribbed tubes. In evaluation of thermal performance and pressure drop, it is seen that the ribbed tubes with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-water nanofluid flow are thermodynamically advantageous.

IRANJournal Article20140304<em>Residual gas saturation is one of the most important parameter in determining recovery factor of water-drive gas reservoir. Visual observation of processes occurring at the pore level in micromodels can give an insight to fluid displacements at the larger scale and also help the interpretation of production performance at reservoir scale. In this study experimental tests in a glass micromodel were used to determine the influence of the capillary number and pore morphology on the residual gas saturation in gas–liquid two-phase flow. The saturation of the phases was determined through recorded images in the micromodel. 2D modeling and simulation of this process is presented in this study and simulation results are verified by comparing to experimental results where sufficient agreement was confirmed. The simulation results indicate that pore morphology and capillary number have significant influence on the competition between frontal displacement and snap-off. Frontal displacement leads to high recovery and snap off causes gas entrapment. It is concluded that </em><em>increasing the pore and throat sizes, increasing the coordination number and increasing angularity (decreasing half angle) result in reducing the residual gas amount. </em><em>The results also indicate that residual gas saturation is not only a function of petrophysical property and pore morphology, but also it depends on flow rate and the experimental procedure.
