In this article, the thermo-elastic behavior of a functionally graded simple blade subjected to the mechanical and thermal loadings is presented, applying a semi-analytical method and a variable thickness cantilever beam model. A specific temperature gradient is employed between the root and the edges of the beam. It is assumed that the mechanical and thermal properties are longitudinal directi...

In this research, Polyether block amide (PEBA) containing different loadings of α-Al2O3 particles was deposited on top the polysulfone (PSf ) supports to form PEBA 1657‒α-Al2O3/PSf multilayer composite mixed matrix membranes (MCMMMs). Multilayer Composite structure used overcome sedimentation fillers in polymer matrix. Moreover, alpha phase Al2O3 applied improve distribution these at higher loa...

Based on DPF filtration and regeneration bench, the solid particle emission high-temperature characteristics of different carbon black loadings deposition distributions are studied. The aerosol generator (PAlAS RGB 1000) is used to introduce particles into inlet a DPF, NanoMet3 meter measure concentration at outlet obtain characteristics. Previous studies found that without particles, there was...

The encapsulation of biologically active ingredients (e.g., peptides, proteins, enzymes, drugs) into polymer particles is extensively used for drug delivery purposes. However, this strategy relies mainly on emulsification processes from preformed polymers, which leads to strong limitations such as low particle concentrations (typically a few wt%), poor ingredient loadings, well rather limited s...

Shielding radiation from both x-rays and gamma-rays is important for personnel in medical fields e.g. interventional radiology, nuclear power stations, and other inspection facilities where radiation is involved. Lead is known for its effective shielding property against these high energy radiations, however heaviness and toxicity are its main drawback. In this study effectiveness of non-lead p...

Spiral jet mills utilise high-pressure gas jets, which induce particle breakage by collisions. Appropriately angled jets force particles to circulate in dense phase near the wall due centrifugal field. Moving radially inwards towards mill centre, two-phase flow is transformed into a lean and fine are entrained out fluid drag. Here we analyse effect of grinding nozzles pressure on dynamics numer...

Advances in industrial ecology, desalination, and resource recovery have established that industrial wastewater, seawater, and brines are important and largely untapped sources of critical metals and elements. A Grand Challenge in metal recovery from industrial wastewater is to design and synthesize high capacity, recyclable and robust chelating ligands with tunable metal ion selectivity that c...

This paper presents a framework for modelling biological tissues based on discrete particles. Cell components (e.g. cell membranes, cell cytoskeleton, cell nucleus) and extracellular matrix (e.g. collagen) are represented using collections of particles. Simple particle to particle interaction laws are used to simulate and control complex physical interaction types (e.g. cell-cell adhesion via c...
