The CFD models JASMINE and SOFIE have been used to simulate the convection currents and thermal conditions inside one steel compartment due to a fire in an adjacent compartment. The impact, on the thermal environment inside the steel compartment, of the positioning of the adjacent fire in both 'side-heated' and 'bottom-heated' configurations has been examined. For the side-heated configuration,...

The problem emerging from particle coating is how to manufacture particles with just enough material deposited to achive the desired result [1]. Especially in case of functional coatings, the uniformity of coating thickness over the entire particle surface plays an important role. In our study the performance of two bottom spray coaters and the effect of the particle motion on the coating unifo...

Spray-drying is a widely used industrial technique and has shown an immense potential in the fields of nanoscience technology. This due to its ability synthesize microgranules consisting correlated nanostructures using evaporation induced assembly through bottom-up approach. Although nature correlation among constituent nanoparticles their size distribution could earlier be obtained by conventi...

Ignition and flame stabilisation have been simulated in a turbulent, bluff body stabilised spray flame. A complete first order Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) model for spray combustion is presented, as well as CMC modelling for spark ignition. The new elements of the two phase model formalism and the spark ignition models are illustrated using a one dimensional spray ignition example. It is s...

In underground coal gasification (UCG), it is essential for UCG production to accurately control the temperature of gas produced at wellhead well and correctly calculate variation law field in whole wellbore. wellbore structures use three sprayed water cooling schemes. These schemes consider heat exchange mechanism between formation, division into spray chamber section non-spray section, establ...

Synthesis of composite materials for an improved lithium-ion battery anode with the necessary attributes for a high performance anode prompted the examination of cobalt-manganese oxide because of its high capacity for lithium ions, and graphene oxide because of its high surface-tovolume ratio and high conductivity. Mixing these materials in a controlled manner is challenging at the nanoscale. T...

The rainfastness of a microencapsulated sex pheromone formulation for codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was evaluated in a series of laboratory experiments with detached apple, pear, and walnut leaves. Increasing the intensity and duration of simulated rainfall significantly increased the removal of microcapsules from both the top and bottom of apple leaves. The removal of microcapsules was s...

the spray characteristics of the fuel greatly influence emissions from diesel engines. spray development plays a vital role in improving the combustion and emission characteristics of fuel because it directly affects the air- fuel mixture formation. the spray characteristics of fuel mainly depend on fuel injection process, fuel density, fuel viscosity, ambient pressure and temperature. among th...
