A simple thermodynamic analysis suggests that oil can spontaneously displace water from coal’s surface if the coal particle has a water contact angle greater than 90°. However, the clean coal products obtained from laboratory-scale dewatering-by-displacement (DbD) test work assayed moistures substantially higher than expected. These high moisture contents were attributed to the formation of wat...

In many developing countries, agriculture hires at least as many workers as manufacturing industries. We investigate an economic geography model in which agricultural goods are costly to transport and in which manufactures hire labor from the local agricultural sector as unskilled labor. Our conclusions show that the parameters in the agricultural sector are crucial to determine the spatial con...

We examine a linear city duopoly where firms choose their locations to maximize expected profits, uncertain about how consumers will assess the relative quality of their products. Equilibrium locations depend on the ratio of the expected quality superiority and the strength of horizontal differentiation. When this ratio is small, firms locate at opposite endpoints. As it becomes larger, agglome...

We provide some extensions to the AMGe method (algebraic multigrid method based on element interpolation), concerning the agglomeration process, the application to non-conforming elements, and the application to the mixed finite element discretization of the Oseen-linearized Navier-Stokes equations. This last point, using AMGe for mixed finite elements, gets straight-forward because of the avai...

A novel discrete element spray granulation model capturing the key features of fluidised bed hydrodynamics, liquid-solid contacting and agglomeration is presented. The model computes the motion of every individual particle and droplet in the system, considering the gas phase as a continuum. Micro scale processes such as particle-particle collisions, droplet-particle coalescence and agglomeratio...

This paper focuses on the study of core competence of logistics cluster with the solution in two levels: one is the integration of supply chain, and the other point is the extension of value chain; both of them are based on the measurement of agglomeration level of logistics cluster and association level of cluster external resources. Hereby the MAEI model is proposed which is used to evaluate ...

This paper analyzes the effect of skill heterogeneity on regional patterns of production and housing in the presence of pecuniary externalities within a general-equilibrium framework, assuming monopolistic competition in intermediate goods markets. It shows that the interplay of heterogeneous skills and comparatively homogeneous land demand triggers skill segmentation and agglomeration. The cor...
