We all get stressed. To deal with that stress, some of us may exercise, take a bubble bath, cry, or simply leave the stressful situation. But how can you cope stress if are rooted in place? Plants live estuaries exposed to many types stresses from environment, including flooding, high salt levels, low soil oxygen, and waves. Fortunately, wetland plants have developed ways survive within these c...

This paper presents a study of the flow and thermal structures in the molten glass bath of a typical glass melting furnace with a throat but without air bubblers or electric boosting. Different separate effects on the flow structure of the glass melt are simulated, but only the glass melt is considered. The net heat flux distribution is imposed at the combustion space/glass melt interface, and ...

Thermosensitive chitosan (CH)-based hydrogels prepared with a mix of sodium bicarbonate and ?-glycerophosphate as gelling agents rapidly pass from liquid at room temperature to mechanically strong solid body without any crosslinker. They show excellent potential for tissue engineering applications could be interesting candidates bioprinting. Unfortunately, since gelation is not instantaneous, f...

Ferrochrome is the major chromium source for stainless steel production, and submerged-arc furnaces (SAF) are most commonly utilised to smelt chromite ores into ferrochrome by using suitable carbonaceous reductants such as coke. Because of the complexity of feed structure and electrical-thermal-chemical interactions, there exist large gradients and wide distributions of temperature, mineralogy ...

In order to discuss the atomization process of an analyte element occurring in a graphite furnace for atomic absorption spectrometry, we measured variations in the characteristic temperature with the progress of an atomization stage, by using a two-line method under the assumption of a Boltzmann distribution. For this purpose, iron was chosen as the analyte element. Also, the atomic absorption ...

Airborne particulate matter in the silicon carbide (SiC) industry is a known health hazard. The aims of this study were to elucidate whether the particulate matter generated inside the Acheson furnace during active operation is representative of the overall particulate matter in the furnace hall, and whether the Acheson furnaces are the main sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) in primary SiC p...

In this paper, by using the data of steel melting plant which contains major non-linear load i.e., induction furnace, we modeled such a system, which contains three 12-tons induction furnace in PSCAD software and simulated for three different operating conditions & studied harmonic pattern. Keywords—Induction Melting Furnace;Steel Melting Shop;Harmonics Analysis;Power Quality.

Nomex honeycomb composites are used extensively in aerospace, automotive, and other industries due to their superior material properties. However, the tool wear during machining can compromise processing accuracy stability of whole process, thus studies on strengthening method urgently needed. This study presents a radial difference calculation (RDC) evaluate disc cutter quantitatively both con...

Abstract CFD simulation using a multi-fluid VOF model on scaled-down SKS furnace multiphase flow was conducted, targeting the agitation performance under conditions of different tuyere diameters and bath depths, at constant total gas volumetric rate. The results indicate that an increased depth contributes to lateral movements matte air phased, significantly promoting far side plumes. character...

In this work, we introduce a furnace-balancing scheme that generates an optimal furnace-side feed distribution that has the potential to improve the thermal efficiency of a reformer. The furnace-balancing scheme is composed of four major components: data generation, model identification, a model-based furnace-balancing optimizer and a termination checker. Initially, a computational fluid dynami...
