this study aims to investigate and optimize the effects of the main parameters including the particle size, gravity and magnetic separation combination, high gradient magnetic separation, magnetic field intensity, shaking table slope, washing water flow, and electrostatic separation upon the rare earth element (ree) recoveries from iron mine waste. the electron microprobe showed that high amoun...

Flow conditions in four models representing the aortic bifurcation, iliac bifuraction, and a renal artery branch were investigated at volumetric flow rates corresponding to Reynolds numbers from 1000 to 4000 over the complete range of flow division between daughter vessels. Qualitative flow streamline patterns and quantitative definition of those flow conditions leading to disturbed flow (flow ...

it is several decades that the application of membrane processes for gas separation has become a great concern within industries. among them, the polymeric membranes of different structures have played the most important role. such application has been widely extended to gas separation and due to the necessity of both; prediction of the behavior of these processes and recognition of the effecti...

Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

recognizing of river flow pattern, deposition and erosion areas in meanders is highly important. despite the limitations of the physical models in laboratory investigation of flow pattern in meanders, mathematical models can be helpful. in this research, rsm and les turbulence models have been compared on sharp river bend of a laboratory flume using fluent software. the laboratory flume is a sh...

The study of flow separation from walls or solid objects is still an active research area in the fluid dynamics and flow visualization communities and many open questions remain. This paper aims at introducing a new method for the extraction of separation manifolds originating from separation lines. We address the problem from the flow visualization side by investigating features in flow cross ...

To determine the nature of the flow in the proximal portion of the renal arteries, a common site for the development of atherosclerosis, we performed pulsatile flow studies in a clear acrylic mold of a normal human aorta and renal arteries. The mold was developed from a cast of the renal arteries prepared in situ during the autopsy of a 27-year-old woman. Flow in the mold was visualized by the ...

A digital filtering algorithm for continuous base flow separation is compared to physically based simulations of base flow. It is shown that the digital filter gives comparable results to model simulations in terms of the multiyear base flow index when a filter coefficient is used that replicates the watershed-specific time delay of model simulations. This way, the application of the heuristic ...
