Toward more realistic viscosity measurements of tyre rubber–bitumen blends
Abstract The measurement of rheological properties of the tyre rubber bitumen blends is often challenging due to presence of suspended tyre rubber’s crumbs. Furthermore, the phase separation during the course of measurements makes the viscosity of...

Application of Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift for Carbon Capture in Integrated Steelworks
Abstract In integrated steelworks a large fraction of total CO2 is emitted from the power plant, where carbon- rich blast furnace gas (BFG) is burned to produce electricity by means of a steam cycle or a gas-steam combined cycle. The aim of the...

Reducing cyclone pressure drop with evasés
Abstract Cyclones are widely used to separate particles from gas flows and as air emission control devices. Their cost of operation is proportional to the fan energy required to overcome their pressure drop. Evasés or exit diffusers potentially...
