In this paper, a double-cyclone is used as a gas-solid separator in the fluid bed-drying process to prepare dry HDPE powder from a wet feed of 56000 kg/hr. The quality of dry HDPE depends mainly on particles behavior and flow pattern in the dryer which affect the double-cyclones as an effective equipment in this process. Controlling of the inlet carrier gas causes excellent flow pattern, desire...

We explain how the Meissel-Lehmer-Lagarias-Miller-Odlyzko method for computing π(x) can be used for computing efficiently π(x, k, l), the number of primes congruent to l modulo k up to x. As an application, we computed the number of prime numbers of the form 4n ± 1 less than x for several values of x up to 1020 and found a new region where π(x, 4, 3) is less than π(x, 4, 1) near x = 1018.

The flow in an elastico-viscous fluid between two co-axial infinite rotating porous discs is considered for high cross flow Reynolds number. The discs are rotating with different angular velocity and the injection rate of the fluid at one disc is different from the suction rate of other disc. The effect of suction parameters on the velocity components have been investigated numerically and solv...

In the present work a two fluid model for blood flow through abnormally constrictedhuman artery (stenosed artery) has been developed. The model consists of a core region of suspensionof all erythrocytes assumed to be micro-polar fluid so as to include the micro-structural effects inaddition to the peripheral-layer viscosity effects, and a peripheral plasma layer free from cells of anykind of Ne...

the use of flow cytometry in the clinical laboratory has grown substantially in the past decade. flow cytometric analysis provides a rapid qualitative and quantitative description of multiple characteristics of individual cells. for example, it is possible to detect the cell size and granularity, aspects of dna and rna content and the presence of cell surface and nuclear markers which are used ...

high speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. the air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. to arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial around the central nervous system through brain transports not only those water-like fluids but also any solutes they carry, including nutrients, drugs, metabolic wastes. Passing tissue primarily during sleep, this circulation has implications for neurodegenerative disorders Alzheimer's disease, damage stroke cardiac arrest, flow-related such ...
