In recent days, current research is going in alternative fuels due to increase in global warming and pollution in all over the world and also very stringent emission norms. In this way, the study on spray progress plays an important role in improving complete combustion and emission of fuel, because it is directly affects the air-fuel mixture formation. The macroscopic spray characteristics of ...

A pneumatic spray delivery (PSD)-based solid set canopy system (SSCDS) consists of in-line reservoirs and micro-emitter assemblies distributed throughout perennial crop canopies. The existing PSD-based SSCDS uses a large number reservoirs, i.e., one unit per 3 m linear spacing, which resulted in high installation maintenance costs. These also produces up to 25% post-spray chemical losses. There...

Field trials were conducted to demonstrate the need for correcting sampled spray concentration data for sampler collection efficiencies and estimated spray exposure levels in mosquito bioassays for cage interference effects. A large spray block was targeted with aerial spray treatments of etofenprox in order to create a gradient in both spray concentration and mortality. Spray concentrations we...

Fungicides manufactured to control soybean rust are effective; however, successful control of this disease will mostly depend on proper application methods. Spray coverage and deposition from 9 application equipment/spray nozzles were analyzed. In general, the spray treatments with air assistance were more effective in spraying rust fungicides than the treatments with the conventional boom spra...

The paper presents an original fabrication process of a microfluidic device for identification and characterization of cells in suspensions using mpedance spectroscopy. The device consists of two glass wafers: a bottom wafer comprising a microfluidic channel with two electrodes added or impedance measurement, and a top glass wafer in which inlets and outlets are realized. The fact that the devi...

Although continuous casting is the state‐of‐the‐art method in steelmaking, ingot by bottom teeming has kept its relevance, for example, area of specialty steels. The main challenge to meet ever‐increasing quality requirements demanded customers. Regarding high‐performance steel applications, purity with respect content nonmetallic inclusions thereby special interest. Herein, foam templates tail...

This work explores the use of both spray drying and d-glucosamine HCl (GLU) as a hydrophilic carrier to improve the dissolution rate of piroxicam (PXM) whilst investigating the electrostatic charges associated with the spray drying process. Spray dried PXM:GLU solid dispersions were prepared and characterised (XRPD, DSC, SEM). Dissolution and triboelectric charging were also conducted. The resu...

Spray atomization is a common process found in different industries, where sprays under high injection pressure are widely recorded in the literature. Nonetheless, research on spray breakup mechanism under low pressure in pharmaceutical industry is still relatively rare. Numerical model in the Lagrangian approach was modified for simulating the spray formation from a nasal spray device in the c...

This study investigates a new concept of producing precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) from steelmaking slag and carbon dioxide via a spray carbonation process. The presented laboratory-scale spray carbonation test reactor uses a spray nozzle to disperse fine droplets of a Ca-rich solution into a spray tower, where calcium carbonate precipitates as a result of the reaction between calcium and ...

This Review provides a general understanding of paper spray-MS, including the methodology and theory associated with a number of different related applications. This method has become a direct sampling/ionization method for mass spectrometric analysis at ambient conditions and, as a result, it has greatly simplified and increased the speed of mass-spectrum analysis. It has now become an increas...
