ویژگی های فیزیکی ای که در تقطیر بنزین موتور بایتس مورد اندازه گیری

همان­گونه که اشاره شد عدد آرام سوزی مهمترین شاخصه­ی کیفی بنزین موتور می­باشد. عدد آرام سوزی بیشتر نمایش دهنده­ی بنزین مرغوبتر می­باشد که نشان می­دهد بنزین در مقابل ضربه مقاوم­تر بوده و موتور راحت­تر کار می­کند. اهمیت عدد آرام سوزی به ویژه در دهه­های اخیر و با بالاتر رفتن ضریب تراکم[2] موتور­ خودروها بیشتر شده است. [3]. عدد آرام سوزی بنزین مانند اکثر دیگر مشخصات آن از روابط غیر خطی تبعیت نمی­نمایدکه این غیر خطی بودن به درصدهای حجمی مخلوط تشکیل دهنده­ی بنزین بستگی دارد. بنابراین جهت مدل­سازی آن بایستی از روش­های پیچیده­تری نسبت به روش­های خطی استفاده کرد. بطورکلی و در روش­های آزمایشگاهی، غالب شرکت­های تولید کننده­ی بنزین موتور، عدد آرام سوزی آن­را با استفاده از دستگاه CFR[3] که یک موتور تک سیلند دارای شمارش­گر ضربه[4] می­باشد، اندازه­گیری می­نمایند.انجام این آزمایش صرف­نظر از طول مدت زیاد آزمایش، بعلت استفاده از مواد خالص (نرمال هپتان،ایزو اکتان و تولوئن) دارای هزینه­ی نسبی زیاد و همراه با ایجاد آلودگی صوتی و شیمیایی است. از طرفی به­علت هزینه­ی زیاد خرید دستگاه موتور CFR غالب آزمایشگاه­های متوسط و کوچک امکان تهیه­ی آن­را ندارند که در نتیجه امکان اندازه­گیری عدد آرام سوزی بنزین را ندارند.

 

 

یکی دیگر از آزمایش­های مهم انجام یافته روی بنزین موتور، آزمایش تقطیر[5] می­باشد که شامل اطلاعات مهمی در خصوص بازه­ی جوش ترکیبات تشکیل دهنده­ی بنزین موتور می­باشد. انجام این آزمایش بعلت سهل­الوصول بودن آن در اکثر آزمایشگاه­های نفت مرسوم می­باشد. هدف از انجام این تحقیق بررسی امکان پیش­بینی عدد آرام سوزی بنزین موتور با استفاده از داده­های تقطیر همان نمونه بنزین به روش شبکه­ی عصبی مصنوعی می­باشد.

بحران­های ناشی از مصرف روزافزون انرژی در کشور ما تبدیل به یک مشکل در مدیریت کلان کشور شده است که علاوه بر آثار سوء زیست

 محیطی و بهداشتی باعث آسیب جبران ناپذیر به اقتصاد ملی نیز شده است. و وزارت نفت به­عنوان بزرگترین تأمین کننده­ی سوخت مایع در کشور ناگزیر از وارد کردن میزان مورد نیاز افزون بر تولید داخل از خارج می­باشد[4]. آنچه قابل ذکر است علیرغم سیاست­های انقباضی دولت جهت خرج از بحران، مصرف فراورده های نفتی ازجمله بنزین روندی صعودی داشته و این به معنی رو به رشد بودن روند ایجاد آلودگی­های ناشی از مصرف این­سوخت فسیلی است. بنابراین لازم است تا علاوه بر مصرف بهینه­ی بنزین، با ارتقاء استانداردهای فعلی تولید بنزین بهEuro4 [6]و  Euro5آلودگی حاصل از مصرف آن به سطوحی پایین­تر تقلیل یابد. با توجه به موارد ذکر شده ضرورت تبیین و تعیین روش­های جدیدتری برای تولید فرآورده­های باکیفیت و تواماً نیاز به ایجاد روش­های جدید جهت آزمایش مشخصه­های کیفی آن بیش از پیش احساس می­شود.

در این راستا تلاش شده است با داشتن داده­های سریع­الحصول و سهل­الوصول به دست آمده از آزمایش تقطیر بنزین، عدد آرام سوزی آن­را که علاوه بر عدم امکان خرید دستگاه موتورCFR برای اکثر آزمایشگاه­ها، آزمایشی طولانی مدت، پرهزینه و آلاینده می­باشد را با دقتی قابل قبول پیش بینی کرده و به­دست آوریم.

Abstract

 

 

The aim of the present study was to investigate the Impact of Speech Rate on Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners’ Listening Comprehension Ability. To achieve this purpose, forty four participants intermediate language learners were selected based on their scores on a knowledge on an OPT Test as the randomly assigned to two groups experimental and control group.  Each group was exposed to as pre-test and post-test. At the end of the experiment, to see whether or not any changes happened regarding their comprehension with two different rate of speech .the results suggested that the participants who receive slow speech rate  have higher listening comprehension ability after posttest comparing to control group.

1.0 Introduction

 

 

This study is the importance of EFL learner’s rate’s of speech, which is essential pre request skills for speaking because that was influenced on listening comprehension of interlocutors so good listeners become good communicators. Although there is the lack of enough research and the systematic investigation about the listening comprehension (Joiner, 1986; Long, 1987; Dunkel,1991; Rubin, 1994; Mendelsohn, 1998) because there is a belief about the this happen that without the natural exposure to spoken language we can’t acquire listening comprehension ability while other skills should be thought through directional instruction in school setting (Herron &Sedy,1991; Schmidt-Rinehart,1992). This belief showed that there is an important attention of researchers on the language and the lack of materials available for teachers who emphasize role of listening for the students L2 learning.  When nonnative listeners have problem for understanding a passage , they usually complain that language is spoken too fast (white,1987) but if they practice listening they can reinforce their speaking and better perceive message .According to Rivers (1966,pp.196, 204) an advocate for listening comprehension , ”Speaking does not of itself constitute communication unless what is said is comprehended by another person… teaching the comprehension of spoken speech is there for of primary importance if the communication aim is to be reached.’ Listening comprehension is important for both teacher and student, Chastain (1976) language teachers and students want to overlook the importance of listening comprehension skill. They do because they fail to developing attention on functional listening comprehension they just attention on fix completely ,speaking, because information processing time factor as an important in listening comprehension.L2 learners have difficulty recognize different part of message ,they can’t separate any noise , syntax and functional, and other part of sentence even in their language therefore they are not good listener when they are contacted with fast speech sound they confused, this happen reflected a question that often heard, ”Do you speak…? ” Obviously, one cannot speak a language unless can understand it .Listening comprehension process is internal not subject to direct and external observation and make correction. Also , since the teachers in their classrooms have little experience for providing class activities for improving students listening comprehension ability they can’t be prepare suitable activity for guidance of learners .The learners for learning to speak English first should learn to understand real language situations to comprehend purpose of native speakers in their speaking .Previous studies showed that many students who go to another country are much less able to perceive native speech than they are to create message ,incomplete as that native speakers can understand. This showed that listening comprehension is necessary for language learning and communicating to real language situation to the teachers and students want to achieve in communication goals. Psychologists describe listening as the comprehending meaning of stream of verbal symbols. Listening comprehension is the most important part of language learning means of the students can’t learn the language without comprehension of it. In spite of learner would like to perceive second language speakers they want to comprehend different speed of speech sound. When students listen to speech sound for making sense of it they should understand perfectly at the first of all gist of native speaker said as part of important skills, listener contrast to reader who has opportunity to go back for understanding, they can’t go back to the next so speaker should have enough knowledge about the speaking and interlocutor for adopting simplified input that called foreign talk to non-native speakers by using a slower speech rate. According to (Dunkel, 1991; Rost, 2001; Vandergrift, 2007) Listening is an important language skill to develop second language acquisition. Listening comprehension in the classroom for some of the learners want to perceive oral presentation of her teacher is the same way need to struggle with listening comprehension they will struggle to learn material presented orally. According to grift (2007) one of the reasons might be that learners are not taught how to learn listening effectively. If the teachers aware of some factors that affect listening comprehension helps them better provide the needs of their students in the fact that how the learners listen, has essential effect on learners job and on the better relationships with others for students listen to get information and enjoyment, to learn and understand Because according to some researchers we remember between 25 percent and 50 percent of what we listen. It means that when we talk with others for 10 minutes, they pay attention to less than half of the conversation. Clearly, listening comprehension is a skill that the learner can improve it by better listening and productivity and the learner should avoid the conflict and misunderstandings as well as their ability to effect in their communication.

 

 

1.2 Theoretical Framework

 

 

 In recent years, there has been a growing of research on the effects of speech modification on L2 listening comprehension. Speech rate research has not been able to precisely define the rate ranges by EFL listeners of different proficiency levels given the disparity among these ranges , according to Zhao (1997) has led to serious methodological flaws and inconsistent results that make the transferability of these conclusions to other contexts almost impossible. Griffiths (1992) studied the effects of speech rates (127, 188, 250 wpm) on the nonnative speaker’s listening comprehension and concluded that the slowest rate was the most comprehensible and the higher rates led to worse comprehension. Teachers and learners should take into account features of slow and natural speech rate and know that both have some advantages and disadvantages. Griffiths (1992) concluded that reducing the velocity of speech rate was positively related to high listening comprehension mean scores . Slow speech rate may be used as a short path practice for comprehending natural speech rate there for comprehending natural speech rate is the optimal objective . This study underlying psychological building block of application of Krashen’s Input Hypothesis (1985) which postulates i+1 input for  the learner in the learning and teaching settings. Most of the previous studied about speech rate (e.g., Khatib, 2010; Sakaki, 1996)were carried out on high school in their English books and listening comprehension has been involve in syllabus. Therefore the researcher not only found it useful and practical to have a study in high school but also will compare listening comprehension at two different speech rate therefore main objective whether listening to normal versus slow rate effects on Iranian EFL learners listening comprehension ability or not and investigate the impact of speech rate on intermediate EFL learners’ listening comprehension ability.

Abstract

 

 

This study aimed at analyzing the translation of English reduplicative words to Persian. Reduplication is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word or a part of it is repeated. McCarthy mentioned three kinds of reduplication, Rhyming reduplication, exact reduplication and Ablaut reduplication. The corpuses on which the study was conducted were English novels and the Persian translation of them. Also the theoretical framework on which the study relied was strategies presented by Davis. By applying Davis’ translation strategies it was found that reduplicative words should not be translated literally if so they would lose the meaning. Moreover, in the struggle of form and meaning, preserving the meaning has superiority over preserving the form.

Introduction

 

 

   1.1 Overview

 

 

   Reduplication is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word or a part of it is repeated. In many languages, reduplication is used in inflections to convey grammatical functions and in lexical derivations to create semantic forms (Nadarajan, 2006).There are different categorization and ideas on reduplication and reduplicative words. For example according to Minkova (2002), there are two kinds of reduplication: full and partial reduplication. Full reduplication involves the exact repetition of the sound or word, while partial reduplication involves reduplication of only a part of a word. He (ibid) mentioned that most reduplications in English are partial reduplication which involves consonant ablaut or vowel alternation (e.g., riff raff, ping pong, chit chat, tip top), rhyme reduplication (e.g., hocus-pocus) and full reduplication (e.g., boo-boo). English reduplications have a certain form class and specific meaning. For example, chit-chat is a noun meaning a light conversation, and a verb meaning to talk informally or to gossip.

 

 

Katamba (1993 and 2006) considered reduplication as an affixation process which involves the addition of a free morpheme (not necessarily a bound morpheme) to the beginning, the end or within the base. Moreover there are two different points of view regarding reduplication. The first point states that it is a process whereby phonological material is copied. That is, the segmental content is repeated with various phonological constraints (Marantz 1982).

 

 

The second one explains that it is a process whereby a bundle of morpho-syntactic features are copied (Inkelas and Zoll 2005). Broselow and McCarthy (2009) have mentioned three kinds of reduplication used in English mostly for the purpose of informal expressive vocabulary:

 

 

 

    1. Rhyming reduplication

 

 

    1. Exact reduplication

 

 

    1. Ablaut reduplication

 

 

 

 The examples are classified according to this classification mentioned by Broselow and McCarthy (2009). The main point is that, these words (reduplicative words) should not be translated literally. Especially in translation of novels because if they were translated literally their meaning would be lost. The translators’ main task is the analysis of the source text so it’s necessary for s/he to get the exact meaning and message of the source text.

Abstract

 

 

     Collaborative writing has been used in composition research and pedagogy in U.S. educational institutes since the 1970s. Collaborative writing motivates social interaction among writers and their peers via activities such as peer response. Researchers of second language (L2) writing have asserted that pairing students up in writing can promote learning effectiveness in writing field. This paper explored the effects of pair work on improving writings of Iranian EFL learners. This study had a quasi-experimental setting. The participants consisted of 28 EFL students in a language school of Marand at intermediate level, divided into one control and one experimental group. The experimental group was divided into high proficiency and low proficiency groups, the former was called helper and the latter was named writer, making a pair to complement each other. Both had a pretest writing at the first session. The papers were scored manually and were compared with posttest scores which was conducted at the last session in the Excel sheets and figures. To test the variables, descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, and significance value were used. To compare mean scores of both groups, independent t-test was used. Then, the data were analyzed by SPSS software. The results showed that writing performance of the experimental group who practiced pair work has a significant difference with the writing ability of the control group who wrote individually. By pair work, the students in the experimental group produced more accurate sentences than the subjects of control group.

INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

    • Introduction

       

 

 

Writing is a difficult task to perform. This problem is more evident in Iranian private institutes which are based on communication-focused instruction, providing little opportunity for learners to focus on writing skills in the limited class time. This is while demands for professional writing are increasing in academic settings. One way of overcoming this problem is exercising pair work. Pair work is great for practicing various language skills, vocabulary checks, and completing worksheets. Working in pairs gives individual students a lot of practice time. Groups give students the opportunity to create more complex texts, explore relationships between characters, pool knowledge together, and have a more social learning environment. Additionally, there is a better chance for self-correction or peer correction and for a discussion on a wider range of thoughts and opinions in a large size. This social interaction and dialogue with others are considered crucial for learning by social interactionist’ theorists, such as Vygotsky (2000), who stated that learning involves the internalization of social interaction processes, which helps the learner progress from complex to conceptual thinking. Generally speaking, the smaller the group, the more each member acts and the less chance there is that someone will be left out.

 

 

1.2. Statement of the Problem

 

 

Writing in English has gained a significant eminence in recent years in Iran. The reason behind it can be that in universities of Iran writing articles and dissertations, at different educational levels (BA, MA and PhD) by the students of all majors, accompanies various privileges for their writers as well as academic achievements. For the growing body of academia, even board members of scientific faculties are required to submit at least two papers in English at international journals to retain their positions or promote. This has created a flood of writing demands who yearn to acquire writing skills for fulfilling their above-mentioned academic tasks towards language institutes. This challenges the teachers to explore new ways for improving this skill which is the most difficult one (among 4 skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing) for L2 learners to master. The difficulty lies not only in generating and organizing ideas, but also in translating them into readable and recognizable text. The skills involved in writing are highly complex. L2 learners have to pay attention to higher level skills of planning and organizing as well as lower level skills of spelling, punctuation, word choice, and so on (Poynton ,1996). The difficulty becomes even more highlighted if their language proficiency is weak (Richards, 2002). According to a broad literature review by the author of this paper, one important strategy for improving EFL writers can be using the techniques of pair work with their related strategies in classroom contexts. By working in pairs, you gain experience and understanding about how tasks are often undertaken in the workshops. The successful completion of a group assignment usually means that you have acquired many very important skills, particularly communication, analytical and interpersonal skills, which are highly valued by the instructors. The capacity to listen, question, persuade, respect the opinions of others, help, share and participate is of lifelong value. Working with others also allows for the assignments to be broken into smaller tasks and the workload to be distributed evenly. By working together, students are able to bounce ideas off each other and learn from each other as well. Members can contribute different skills and thus the group can achieve more than individual members could on their own. As a result, this study will endeavor to explore some strategies of pair work and their effects on the writing skills of the learners.

1-1 دستگاه پلاسمای کانونی:

 

 

پلاسمای کانونی دستگاهی از خانواده Z-پینچهای دینامیک است. این دستگاه از دو الکترود هم محور تشکیل می شود که در پایین به وسیله یک  عایق از هم جدا می شوند و الکترود بیرونی نقش کاتد و الکترود داخلی نقش آند را بازی می کندو فضایبین آن ها را  گازی با فشار پایین پر کرده است.]2و1[

 

 

الکترود ها معمولا از جنس مس یا فولاد ضد زنگ ساخته می شوند. جنس عایق در این دستگاه ها ممکن است، چینی، سرامیک، یا تفلون باشد.در این دستگاهاعمال یک ولتاژ بالا به شکل پالسی بیناین دو الکترود هم محور سبب وقوع تخلیه الکتریکی بین دو الکترود می­شود که در نتیجه آنیک ستون پلاسمای داغ(با دمای در حدود چند کیلو الکترون ولت)،  چگال (در حدود 3-cm1019 -1018) وبا عمر کوتاه (درحدودns200-50) بر روی  محور الکترود داخلی تولید می­گردد.

 

 

این دستگاه در دهه 1960 میلادی به طور مستقل توسط فیلیپوف در شوروی و مدر در ایالات متحده آمریکا به دو مدل متفاوت طراحی و ساخته شد که  به نام مخترعینشان نامیده می شوند. تفاوت این دو مدل در  نسبت طول الکترود داخلی(L)به قطرآن(D) است.درنوع فیلیپوف 1 (در حدود 2/0 یا کمتر) و در نوع مدر 1 (در حدود 5 یا بیشتر) است(شکل 1-1)]2و1[

 

 

این اختلاف منجر به تفاوت هایی در فرآیندهای فیزیکی به ویژه در مرحله اول تخلیه می شود، اما در نهایت شاهد نتایج مشابهی در هر دو نوع هستیم. یعنی تشکیل پلاسمایی داغ و چگال با مشخصات ذکر شده در پاراگراف بالا، که منبعی غنی از انواع مختلف تابش های نوترونی، الکترومغناطیسی، الکترونی، پرتو ایکس نرم و سخت و انواع پدیده های پلاسمایی است.]3[

 

 

همچنین دستگاههای پلاسمای کانونی ترکیبی (هیبرید) با نسبت های2-1 نیز ساخته شده اند.]5و4[

 

 

پلاسمای کانونی ماشینی ارزان و کارآمد برای مطالعه امواج ضربه، پدیده پینچ و کانونی شدن، ناپایداریهای مختلف پلاسما و پدیده های متعدد دیگری است که در آن پلاسما می تواند تا شرایط گداخت گرم شده و مقادیر قابل ملاحظه ای پرتو ایکس نرم و سخت، انواع یون های پرانرژی، پرتوهای الکترون نسبیتی و در صورتی که گاز به کار رفته حاوی دوتریم باشد،نوترون های حاصل از گداخت هسته ای گسیل نماید]6[.
