We study a two-particle circular billiard containing two finite-size circular particles that collide elastically with the billiard boundary and with each other. Such a two-particle circular billiard provides a clean example of an "intermittent" system. This billiard system behaves chaotically, but the time scale on which chaos manifests can become arbitrarily long as the sizes of the confined p...

the purpose of this study is to identify parameters influence on the particle deposition within fin and tube heat exchanger of air-conditioning systems by cfd analysis. first the basic sketch of periodic geometry drawn and meshing operation including boundary conditions was performed. then the gas side properties and flow parameters were solved by ansys fluent 14.5 software. lagrangian equation...

as a native fermented dairy drink, doogh is an important industrial product in iran. however, its characteristics have not been completely evaluated. this study evaluated the flow behavior, particle size distribution and stability of non-fat doogh as affected by the row material employed (fresh skim milk or skim milk powder) and the total solids (ts) content of the final drink. the viscosity of...

SCIAMACHY limb-scatter measurements allow the continuous mapping of noctilucent clouds (NLCs) as well as the retrieval of NLC particle sizes since 2002. Longterm measurements of NLC particle sizes require high instrument stability or an accurate knowledge of the changing calibration parameters. For the NLC measurements we employ measurements in SCIAMACHY channel 1, whose transmission decreased ...

Hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible ceramic and reinforcement for bone implantations. SEVA/HAP composite content HAP filler with difference particle sizes were designed. Mechanical tests like tensile modulus, UTS, strain at break and biodegradation were investigated. Results illustrated much increase tensile modulus of composites content HAP nano powders ratio to micro powders. Also UTS analysis ...

Low resistive particulate matter (PM) generated from marine engines or diesel generators has been known to be difficult to collect by the conventional electrostatic precipitators (ESP). In the present study, the double-cylinder type ESP (DC ESP) was developed to remove low resistive diesel exhaust particles. Two ESPs, namely, the conventional singlecylinder type ESP (SC ESP ) and DC ESP were in...

an attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on coal flotation kinetics. the effect of particle size (ps) on kinetics constant (k) and maximum theoretical flotation recovery (ri) was investigated while other operational parameters were kept constant. the relationship between flotation kinetics constant and theoretical flotation recovery with par...

Conventional materials are being replaced in the field of engineering by composite materials, due to their tailorable properties and high specific properties. These materials are extensively used in structural applications. Damping is one of the important properties of the materials used in structures, and needs to be enhanced in order to reduce structural vibrations. In the present work, the i...

An envelope function is derived which multiplies the pair distribution function (PDF) of an infinite solid to obtain that of a spherical particle with the same crystal structure. Distributions of particle sizes are then considered, and the analytical results are used to predict the distribution from a PDF obtained experimentally. The peak broadening for the associated structure factor, expresse...
