This paper investigates the bending vibration of rotating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on nonlocal theory. To this end, the rotating SWCNTs system modeled as a beam with a circular cross section and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (EBT) is applied with added effects such as rotary inertia, gyroscopic effect and rotor mass unbalance. Using nonlocal theory, two coupled sixth orde...

Brewing is the process is for production of beer [1,2]. It is said that for every 1 liter of beer production approximate 10 liters of water is used [3]. The water in any brewery is typically used for brewing, rising and cooling process [3]. The various steps that are involved in brewing process are malt production and handling, worth preparation, fermentation, filtration, CIP and finally packag...

torque, speed, and power as mechanical variables are associated with the functional performance of any rotating machinery. the real-time performance and the efficiency of a machine can be determined with on-line measurement of these parameters. in this investigation a rotary torque meter (transducer) was constructed from strain gauge sensors for measuring the torque of rotating shafts. the syst...

Miniature hollow fibre modules were fabricated as phase contactors for liquid-liquid extraction. They were tested for americium(III)-lanthanide separation, using 2,6-di(5,6-dipropyl-1,2,4-triazin3-yl)pyridine or a synergistic mixture of di(chlorophenyl)dithiophosphinic acid and tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide as extractants. Americium could be removed from the feed phase to 99.95% using the former ...

In the last years, computer simulation has reached a significant position in the investigation and development of technical products. Simulation programmes and computer utilization have found application also in the area of electrical devices. At our workplace we have used simulation programmes for many years to investigate transient phenomena mainly at short-circuit current breaking in miniatu...

Activated carbon (AC) has been shown to remove precursors of halogenated disinfection byproducts. Granular and powdered activated carbon (GAC, PAC) were investigated for their potential to adsorb N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) precursors from blends of river water and effluent from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). At bench scale, waters were exposed to lignite or bituminous AC, either as PAC...

In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the plastic & linear plastic stresses and critical angular velocity in a FGM hollow & solid rotating disk is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and yield strength were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's ratio were considered constant throughout the thick...

sieve trays are widely used in the gas- liquid contactors such as distillation and absorption towers. in this article, a three-dimensional, two phase cfd model using euler-euler framework was developed to simulate a distillation tower with two sieve trays. hydrodynamic simulation of air and water system in different rates of gas phase was carried out and velocity distribution parameters, clear ...
