Ethanol production from sugarcane in Brazil is a well-established industry, with relatively simple operations and high yield. The ethanol primarily serves as a renewable fuel blending with gasoline and diesel to increase the energy security in Brazil. Several environmental concerns are emerged around the by-products from this industry. Vinasse, the liquid fraction generated from the rectificati...

Erosion caused by sand transportation in flow changing devices is a serious concern in the hydrocarbon and mineral processing industry, which entail to failure and malfunction of flow devices. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with discrete phase models (DPM) were employed for analysis of carbon steel long radius 90-Degree elbow erosion due to the sand concentration of 2, 5 and ...

our civilization is based on metals, among other life supports. the existing ore deposits are becoming rapidly depleted by almost exponentially increasing demand and production and major new ore discoveries are needed. mineral exploration is supported by modern tools and scientific ideas, but geological characteristics of orebodies and their rock associations have still to be visualized.the tim...

Wood is a naturally renewable material with both continuous and isolated pore systems. Wood-composite panels have the privilege of offering a homogeneous structure to be used as constructional and structural materials. However, its nature makes it susceptible to biological wood-deteriorating agents, water absorption and thickness swelling, fire, etc. Using nano-materials are very easy in the wo...

The topical challenge for the Polish, European, and global fertilizer industry is to produce sufficient nutrients growing plants using more energy-efficient environmentally friendly methods. appropriate course of action, in terms challenges posed, could be production liquid fertilizers, made from waste materials that exhibit properties. This solution makes it possible not only reduce exploitati...

Alumina nanoparticles (Al2O3) are one of the essential metal oxides and have a wide range applications unique physio-chemical features. Most notably, alumina has been shown to thermal properties such as high conductivity convective heat transfer coefficient. Therefore, this study is conducted integrate adsorption Al2O3 in mineral oil-based Maxwell fluid. The ambitious goal intensify mechanical ...
