The hydrocyclone has a very important roll in industrial separation. The consideration of its behavior is very important for design. In this investigation, behavior of water flow and particles trajectory inside a hydrocyclone has been considered by means of numerical and experimental methods, and results have been compared together. To have a numerical simulation, a CFD software was used, and f...

Cellulase production studies have been carried out using the fungal strain Trichoderma reesei NCIM 992 by using three different lignocellulosic materials by solid state fermentation (SSF). The effect of basic fermentation parameters (pH, temperature, moisture content, particle size of substrate and moistening agent) on enzyme production was studied. Maximum cellulase production was 2.63 U ml(-1...

. eight holstein cows in early lactating stage were used in a 4×4 change-over design within 4 periods of 21-d to determine the effects of alfalfa hay particle size and soybean oil supplementation on intake, digestibility, ruminal and blood metabolites, chewing activity, milk yield and compositions. four total mixed rations containing 20, 20 and 60% corn silage, alfalfa hay and concentrate respe...

We report a new capping-agent-free strategy for the synthesis of substrate-supported porous icosahedral Au nanoparticles (NPs) with rough naked surfaces, based on the crystallization from substrate-supported thin solution layers followed by solid-phase thermolysis. The plasmonic properties of icosahedral Au NPs have been studied using single particle dark-field scattering microscopy and spectro...

Zinc Oxide and Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were prepared by Electrostatic spray deposition method on soda lime, glass substrates. The effects of substrate temperatures (300, 350, 400 and 450 C) on the Structural properties of the films were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the films were polycrystalline, having hexagonal (Wurtzite) structure irrespective of their substr...

Corn is one of the richest sources for the production of ethanol. This project was carried out to study the optimum conditions for the production of ethanol. The parameters like, pH, Substrate concentration and particle size were optimized using response surface method in the MINITAB 16 software. Both solid and submerged fermentation were studied. Submerged fermentation turned out to be favoura...

High anisotropy, L1 0 , FePt nanoparticle assemblies consisting of 4 nm diameter particles are considered a potential data storage medium beyond 1 Tbit/in 2. However, annealing at temperatures >500°C is required to form the high anisotropy phase. Recently work on the evolution of FePt nanoparticle assemblies as a function of annealing temperature has shown that for T anneal > 650°C a substantia...

On the atomic scale, Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation of Nano Al cluster impact on Al (100) substrate surface has been carried out for energies of 1-20 eV/atom to understand quantitatively the interaction mechanisms between the cluster atoms and the substrate atoms. The many body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used in this simulation. We investigated the maximum substrate temperature Tmax  and...
