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...

nowadays acoustic emission (ae) testing based on the kaiser effect (ke) is increasingly used to estimate the in-situ stress in laboratories. in this work, this effect is assessed on cylindrical specimens in numerical simulations of the cyclic loadings including loading, unloading, and re-loading cycles using a 3d code called the particle flow code (pfc) based upon the distinct element method. t...

In this paper airflow, nano-and micro-particle motions in an aerodynamic particle beam focusing system consisting of several lenses, a nozzle and the downstream chamber, was studied. A three-dimensional numerical simulation for the system was presented and the compressible airflow and thermal conditions in the aerodynamic lens system were evaluated. Dilute particle concentration was assumed so ...

the understanding soil erosion processes and the development of accurate erosion prediction models require understanding of detachment, deposition and sediment transport in rills. to evaluate the effect of soil type and flow stream power on the relative importance of flow driven processes of sediment transport, and on the boundary between the processes regarding to particle size, experiments we...

dependence on chemical fertilizer continually is increasing. continual increasing of using chemicalfertilizer causes nature pollution (e.g. water contamination). this has led researchers to aggressively investigate renewable fertilizer resources, biomass, to produce organic crops and reduced wastage. wormy compost is a bulk solid and biomass feed stocks. wormy compost flow is obstacle as it oft...

the effect of addition of qodumeh shahri (lepidium perfoliatum) seed gum on the emulsion properties were investigated in this study. l. perfoliatum seed gum with 0-0.6% (w/w) concentration was used together with 2% (w/w) wpc to emulsify 20% (w/w) corn oil. the emulsion was analyzed for emulsion stability, particle size, specific surface area, particle size distribution and rheological propertie...

‎the problem of two-phase mhd boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet with fluid-particle suspension and thermal radiation has been studied. the effect of mass transfer in dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is considered for the first time. the governing equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations under suitable similarity transforma...
