in this research work, the parameters affecting the settling velocity within the thickeners were studied by introducing an equivalent shape factor. several thickener feed samples of different densities including copper, lead and zinc, and coal were prepared. the settling tests were performed on the samples, and the corresponding settling curves were plotted. using the linear regression analysis...

Drawing of square section rod from round bar can be done with two die shapes. In the first die shape, deformation starts from corners of the square and in second die shape, deformation starts from sides of square. This article has compared the drawing force for both die shapes and as a result optimum die shape was determined. Due to complexity of metal flow inside the die, analyzing of actual p...

fifty years ago warren and root have introduced the shape factor. this fundamental parameter for modeling of naturally fractured reservoirs has been discussed stormily ever since. different definitions for shape factor have been suggested which all of them are heuristically based. recently, heinemann and mittermeir mathematically derived - based on the dual-continuum theorem assuming pseudo-ste...

This paper address the problems of generating a low dimensional representation of the shape variation present in a set of shapes represented by a number of landmark points. First, we will present alternatives to the featured Least-Squares Procrustes alignment based on the L∞-norm and the L1-norm. Second, we will define a new shape decomposition based on the Maximum Autocorrelation Factor (MAF) ...
