Enhancement of Identity in the Hydraulic Characteristics of a Gas Centrifuge for Isotope Separation
Abstract The problem of non-identity in characteristics of the GCs for uranium isotope separation grows up with increase of a rotor speed of rotation. It may lead to noticeable decrease of the separative power of the centrifugal machines. The...

Pursuing the Oxy-fuel Light-/heavy Oil Retrofit Route in Oil Refineries - A Small Scale Retrofit Study
Abstract Two commercial, one light- and one heavy oil burner for a CEN 250kW boiler was modified by simple means to allow for operation at controlled dry oxy-fuel conditions. The variables measured for both air- and oxy-firing were the flue gas...

Equation of State and Evidence of Enhanced Phase Transformation for the Shock Compression of Distended Compounds
Abstract Shear stress and deformation is inherent to shock-wave compression. Shear deformation is enhanced when the material subject to shock compression is in an initial distended state. Shock Hugoniot data for full-density and porous compounds of...

Control of the Hot Spot Temperature in an Industrial SO2 Converter
Abstract This study addresses the problem of controlling by simulation the magnitude of the maximal catalyst temperature, or hot spot, in a four catalyst beds SO2 converter by manipulating the reaction mixture volumetric flow rate. The control of...

Application of Temperature and Pressure Signals for Early Detection of Defluidization Conditions
Abstract This work shows that simultaneous measurements of temperature and pressure signals for a bubbling gas-solid fluidized bed can be considered as a simple and effective early detection technique of defluidization conditions. The modification...

Lactose Caking: Influence of the Particle Size Distribution and the Water Content
Abstract Industrially, after the crystallisation of lactose from mother liquor, the crystals are separated by centrifugation and then dried in a flash drier followed by a fluid bed drier. It is known that if the moisture content and/or particle size ...
