The supercritical extraction process is a technique that has increasingly been applied in various industries recent years. Solubility determination the region key feature for this process. However, high expenses and time consuming experiments task obligates need modeling. In study, thermodynamic model proposed to correlate solubility of solid hydrocarbons, namely, 1-hexadecanol, 1-octadecanol, ...

This paper presents the initial stage of an effort aimed at developing a new correlation to estimate pseudo critical properties for sour gas when the exact composition is not known. Several mixing rules and gas gravity correlations available in the literature are first evaluated and compared. The evaluation is performed on a large database consisting of more than 2000 samples of sour gas compos...

a r t i c l e i n f o Continuous powder mixing has attracted a lot of interest within the pharmaceutical industry. Much work has been done recently that targets the characterization of continuous powder mixing. In this paper, a quantitative scaling up strategy is introduced that allows the transition from lab to industrial scale. The proposed methodology is based on the variance spectrum analys...

Sum rules in the lepton sector provide an extremely valuable tool to classify flavour models terms of relations between neutrino masses and mixing parameters testable a plethora experiments. In this manuscript we identify new leptonic sum arising with modular symmetries residual symmetries. These simultaneously present mass rules, involving Majorana phases, connecting angles Dirac CP-violating ...

gas mixing in a t-shape micro mixer has been simulated using the direct simulation monte carlo (dsmc) method. it is considered that the adequate mixing occurs when the mass composition of the species, co or n2, deviates below 1 % from their equilibrium composition. the mixing coefficient is defined as the ratio of the mixing length to the main channel’s height. as the inlet kn increases, while ...

The influence of dose rate, i.e., ion flux, on ion beam mixing in Nb-Si bilayer samples was measured at room temperature and 325 °C. At the higher temperature, an increase in dose rate of a factor of 20 caused a decrease in the thickness of the mixed layer by a factor of 1.6 for equal total doses. At room temperature, the same change in flux had no effect on mixing. These results are consistent...

The use of Answer Set Programming (ASP) inside musical domains has been demonstrated specially in composition, but so far it hasn’t overtaken engineering areas in studio-music (post) production such as multitrack mixing for stereo imaging. This article aims to demonstrate the use of this declarative approach to achieve a well-balanced mix. A knowledge base is compiled with rules and constraints...

The topology of two discrete fracture network models is compared to investigate the impact of constrained fracture growth. In the Poissonian discrete fracture network model the fractures are assigned length, position and orientation independent of all other fractures, while in the mechanical discrete fracture network model the fractures grow and the growth can be limited by the presence of othe...

In this paper, we study the role of degree mixing in the naming game. It is found that consensus can be accelerated on disassortative networks. We provide a qualitative explanation of this phenomenon based on clusters statistics. Compared with assortative mixing, disassortative mixing can promote the merging of different clusters, thus resulting in a shorter convergence time. Other quantities, ...
