"Orientation," we said last year, "Traces its sluggish path each year no better and no worse than before . . Although this is probably still t rue to a degree, there is an illusion shared by many advisors that this year's Freshman Week went better than those in years past. This may be because the men's colleges continue to judge their success by the female reactions to their mixers. The girls p...

Processing feed onfarm using a portable grinder-mixer provides an affordable and flexible manufacturing system for producers with small to intermediate size operations (50 to 400 farrow to finish sows). The portable grinder-mixer differs from a stationary mill in several important areas during feed processing. These differences will be considered by examining five functions or cost centers in a...

Abstract High mass transfer rate is a key advantage of microreactors however, under their characteristic laminar flow, it dominated by slow diffusion rather than fast convection. In this paper, we demonstrate how the configuration inlet, i.e. mixers, can promote different flow patterns to greatly enhance mixing efficiency downstream. A systematic evaluation and comparison widely adopted mixers ...

The control of blend morphologies during process is of prime importance in order to predict the final properties of polymer blends. A coextrusion technique combined with static mixers was developed in order to smartly blend polymeric melts and to optimize the blend morphologies during the flow in static mixers [1]. The aim of this paper is to study the evolution of those blend morphologies duri...

We discuss performance of submicron size hotelectron bolometer (HEB) mixers made from thin MgB2 superconducting films. With a superconducting transition temperature of 30K, such THz mixers can operate with high sensitivity at temperatures up to 20K. Due to very small dimensions local oscillator (LO) power requirements are rather low. In the intermediate frequency (IF) band of 1-3GHz the double...

Domestic Hot Water (DHW) production constitutes a significant proportion of the energy demand modern buildings, and as building envelope is improved share increases. This article shows results from measurement campaign on two equal hotel blocks, in same hotel. There are different basin shower mixing taps installed one with original mixers (13–14 l/min) touch-free operated water saving (5–6 l/mi...
