all experiments in this study were carried out in a flume which was located in the hydraulic laboratory of technical faculty in guilan university. the wave flume was 12 m long, 0.5 m wide, 0.5 m high and equipped with a wave-producing system and ultrasonic sensors. the objectives of current experimental study are to investigate sediment transport, bed formation and sustainability of sandy beach...

background : during the last 3 decades, there were increasing tendency towards angioplasty because of its benefits. but, this procedure has its acute problems like bleeding and formation of hematoma in the removal place of the sheet. based on researchers’ clinical experiences, patients need a time of 8-12 hours for bed rest after coronary angioplasty. recognizing desirable time for bed rest aft...

Fluidized bed was employed to investigate propane steam reforming over Ni-K/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TG/DTA, and N2 adsorption-desorption tests. Effects of promoters, space velocity, temperature, and steam/propane (S/C) ratio on propane conversion, H2 yield, H2/CO ratio, and stability were studied and discussed. The experiments were carried out under cond...

We demonstrate that a fluidized bed of hard spheres during defluidization displays properties associated with formation of a glass. The final state is rate dependent, and as this state is approached, the bed exhibits heterogeneity with increasing time and length scales. The formation of a glass results in the arrest of macroscopic particle motion and thus the loss of fluidization. Microscopic m...

a solid – liquid – gas, multiphase reactor, called inverse fluidized bed bioreactor (ifbbr) was used in this study for the treatment of starch industry wastewater of high organic content and acidic nature. mixed culture obtained from the sludge, taken from starch industry effluent treatment plant, was used as microorganisms. experiments were carried out in an inverse fluidized bed bioreacto...
