This paper reports work on the two and three-dimensional numerical simulation of dough mixing with free surfaces, that arises in the food processing industry. Free surface flow in a rotating cylinder is investigated when a fluid is mixed in a cylinder with a stirrer. Different dough mixer designs are investigated. The rotating stirrer may be placed either in a concentric or eccentric arrangemen...

MHD winds can emanate from both stars and surrounding disks. When the two systems are coupled by accretion, it is of interest to know which (if either) of the two dominates the outflow power. Recent observations lead us to consider how such coupled MHD winds may be operating in planetary nebulae (PN). In this context, we calculate the MHD wind power from a coupled disk and star, where the forme...

Multimedia computing requires support for heterogeneous data types with differing storage, communication, and delivery requirements. Continuous media data types such as audio and video impose delivery requirements that are not satisfied by conventional physical storage organizations. In this paper we describe a physical organization for multimedia data based on the need to support the delivery ...

{Multimedia computing requires support for heterogeneous data types with differing storage, communication, and delivery requirements. Continuous media data types such as audio and video impose delivery requirements that are not satissed by conventional physical storage organizations. In this paper we describe a physical organization for multi-media data based on the need to support the delivery...

This paper presents the design of a computer-controlled pin-on-disk tribometer for friction characterization of various friction sliding pairs. The tribometer setup comprises two high-bandwidth servomotors for the control of the rotating disk and the normal load-related spindle drive, as well as a high-precision tri-axial piezoelectric force sensor for normal and tangential forces measurement. ...

The extraction device used in rotating-disk sorptive extraction consists of a Teflon disk in which a sorptive phase is fixed on one of its surfaces. Depending on the configuration, the rotation axis of the disk device can be either perpendicular or parallel to its radius, giving rise to two different mass transfer patterns when rotating-disk sorptive extraction is applied in liquid samples. In ...
