According to flexibility of pneumatic conveying systems with respect to other types of transmission systems, this system has wide application in industry and agriculture processes. One important application of this system is in the loading and unloading tankers and powdery bulk materials such as trucks carrying cement, plaster and sand. Conveying efficiency is associated with pressure, which in...

The purpose of present study is to investigate the dynamic response of two conventional types of solid oxide fuel cells to the inlet air mass flow rate variation. A dynamic compartmental model based on CFD principles is developed for two typical planar and tubular SOFC designs. The model accounts for transport processes (heat and mass transfer), diffusion processes, electrochemical processes, a...

A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...

A fundamental 2-D model was developed to predict the heat and mass transfer that occur during the frying and cooling process of tortilla chips. Semi-empirical correlations were included to account for structural changes, such as shrinkage and expansion due to puffing. All water present in the tortilla chip was considered bound and led to shrinkage when removed. The parameters that were studied ...

PT. Kurnia Batang Hari is a palm oil processing factory into oil. At PT KBHB there tool called “Steam Turbine Generator Type RB5” which functions as power generator. This study aims to determine the effect of load on mass flow rate, turbine generator power, and efficiency steam The research method take boiler data directly for 1 week. Get enthalpy value from table can calculate based objective....

The inhibitory effects of perilla oil on the platelet aggregation in vitro and thrombosis in vivo were investigated in comparison with aspirin, a well-known blood flow enhancer. Rabbit platelet-rich plasma was incubated with perilla oil and aggregation inducers collagen or thrombin, and the platelet aggregation rate was analyzed. Perilla oil significantly inhibited both the collagen- and thromb...

Drag reduction (DR) agents are used in several ppm concentrations to accelerate significantly the flow through conduits in oil pipelines, oil well operations, flood water disposal, fire fighting, field irrigation, transport of suspensions and slurries, sewage systems, water heating and cooling systems, airplane tank filling, marine systems, and also in biomedical systems including blood flow. T...

We study liquid-liquid dispersions in a turbulent Taylor–Couette flow, produced between two counterrotating coaxial cylinders. In pure Water and in counterrotation, Reynolds numbers up to 1.4× 10 are reached. The liquids we use are a low-viscous Oil and pure Water or a Sodium Iodide solution with a refractive index matched to that of Oil, in order to get transparent dispersions. We first charac...
