This article examines options of an innovative design of intralogistic systems by interfacing small-scaled modules. Current intralogistic systems are quite customized with unique solutions and small production lots. In most cases these systems feature a central main control. To offer highly individual solutions, thus meeting the demand of shorter life cycles, there is a need for more flexible m...

the present study deals with the analysis of the effects of radiative heat transfer of micropolar fluid flow over a porous and stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field. the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficient have formulated by temperature-dependent relations to obtain more exact results. the flow is supposed two-dimensional, incompressible, steady and laminar and t...

In the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. In this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using Abaqus software. In this study, it has been employed the Taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

The objectives of this work were to develop a new technique for lycopene microencapsulation by spray drying using dehumidified air as drying medium and to determine optimum operating conditions. A two-step optimization procedure was used. The encapsulation variables were selected in accordance with the PlackettBurman experimental design and were further optimized via response surface methodolog...
