An Update of the Development of Carbon Dioxide Removal System from the Flue Gas of Coal Fired Power Plant in Toshiba
Abstract Most CO2 removal systems at the thermal power plants demand the vast energy of the steam for the power generation, which lowers the performance and increases the cost. Therefore reducing the energy consumption is inevitable for introducing...

A new methodology to estimate the steady-state permeability of roast and ground coffee in packed beds
Abstract In an espresso-style extraction hot water (90±5°C) is driven through a coffee packed bed by a pressure gradient to extract soluble material from the coffee matrix. Permeability is a key parameter affecting extraction as it determines the...

Blended-fuel based EDC combustion model and its application in heptane-ethanol fire simulation
Abstract The blended-fuel based eddy-dissipation-concept combustion model was newly developed in the FireFOAM framework, and applied to simulate 30 cm×30 cm heptane-ethanol pool fire. Comparison was made of fire height, centerline temperature...

A comparison of the sensory and rheological properties of molecular and particulate forms of xanthan gum
Abstract A particulate form of xanthan gum was prepared by extrusion cooking. The temperature dependence of the viscosity of this form shows similarities to starch with an increase in viscosity to a maximum with increasing temperature as a result of ...

Review on morphology development of immiscible blends in confined shear flow
Abstract The bulk dynamics of immiscible polymer blends during flow is relatively well understood, especially when the system contains Newtonian components. Recently, a number of studies have focused on flow of immiscible blends in confined...

A Method for Handling the Connected Areas in Formulas
Abstract Recognition of handwritten chemical formulas is a hot area. Since the symbols are often written connected and cannot be easily segmented, the recognition of the whole formula faces challenge. In this paper, we present a method for handling...
