DNS study of a pipe flow following a step increase in flow rate
Abstract Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is conducted to study the transient flow in a pipe following a near-step increase of flow rate from an initial turbulent flow. The results are compared with those of the transient flow in a channel reported ...

Soret, Joule Heating and Hall Effects on Free Convection in a Casson Fluid Saturated Porous Medium in a Vertical Channel in the Presence of Viscous Dissipation
Abstract This article explores the significance of Soret, Joule heating and Hall effects on the free convection in an electrically conducting Casson fluid in a vertical channel in the presence of viscous dissipation. The dimensional equations which...

Modelling the risk of airborne infectious disease using exhaled air
Abstract In this paper we develop and demonstrate a flexible mathematical model that predicts the risk of airborne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis under steady state and non-steady state conditions by monitoring exhaled air by infectors in ...

Role of Operating Conditions on Energetic Pathways in a Microbial Fuel Cell
Abstract The electric performance of a Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) fed with swine manure, and specifically the interactions between different coexisting bacterial populations are examined in relationship to the Organic Loading Rate (OLR) and External...

Fluidized Bed Steam Generators for Direct Particle Absorption CSP-plants
Abstract For direct particle absorption CSP-plants heat exchanger between particles and the working fluid of the power cycle are needed. A fluidized-bed heat-exchanger design operating close to the minimum fluidization condition is proposed in this...

Temperature Influences Discolouration risk
Abstract Particulate material can accumulate in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) and can cause discolouration. Previous research showed that temperature influences this. However, it did not explain why higher temperatures lead to a higher...

Numerical investigation of air-entrainment in skimming flow over stepped spillways
Abstract As a widely used flood energy dissipator, the stepped spillway can significantly dissipate the kinetic or hydraulic energy due to the air-entrainment in skimming flow over the steps. The free-surface aeration involves the sharp deformation...

High strength paper production based on esterification of thermomechanical pulp fibers in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol)
Abstract Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibers, generally used to produce newspapers and carton materials, have poor inter- and intra-fiber bonding contributing to low strength properties. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was applied as a co-additive of...
