BACKGROUND Microalgal triacylglycerides (TAGs) are a promising sustainable feedstock for the biofuel, chemical and food industry. However, industrial production of microalgal products for commodity markets is not yet economically viable, largely because of low microalgal productivity. The latter is strictly dependent on initial-biomass-specific (IBS) light availability (i.e. ratio of light impi...

Many hydrophobic drugs are difficult to formulate in ways that ensure high bioavailability. The formation of stable drug nanosuspensions is an attractive formulation strategy that does not limit the dosage amount. Microfluidics Reaction Technology (MRT) was used to produce drug nanosuspensions via solvent and anti-solvent crystallization. The core of this technology is a continuous and scalable...

in spite of the fact that the principles of impinging stream reactors have been developed for more than half a century, the performance analysis of such devices, from the viewpoint of the mathematical modeling, has not been investigated extensively. in this study two mathematical models were proposed to describe particulate matter drying in tangential impinging stream dryers. the models were de...

Using a process-enhanced micro-impinging stream reactor (MISR) and co-precipitation route, NiCo2S4 NiCo2S4/rGO electrode materials were successfully prepared, respectively. Owing to its excellent micromixing performance, the MISR-prepared composites had smaller size less agglomeration than same prepared in traditional stirred (STR). The specific capacity of was as high 198.0 mAh g−1 under curre...

Bioaugmentation of bioreactors focuses on the removal of xenobiotics, with little attention typically paid to the recovery of disrupted reactor functions such as ammonium-nitrogen removal. Chloroanilines are widely used in industry as a precursor to a variety of products and are occasionally released into wastewater streams. This work evaluated the effects on activated-sludge reactor functions ...

NEPTUNE_CFD is a code based on a 3D transient Eulerian two-fluid model. One of the main application targets is the two-phase Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS), which is related to PWR Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) lifetime safety studies, when sub-cooled water from Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) system is injected into the possibly uncovered cold leg and penetrates into the RPV downcomer. Five expe...

investigation on local scour phenomenon downstream of impinging jets is very complicated. different parameters such as geometry of stream, characteristics of flow and sediments have great influences on the scour phenomenon. the present study is preceded to numerical modeling of scouring by impinging jet via ssiim 2 model founded on a physical model tests. the numerical model is calibrated for r...

To overcome the problem of fluid mixing in capillary tubes, the induction of radial diffusion of laminar flow profiles (RDLFP) was proposed recently, together with a mathematical. Since, under realistic conditions, continuous flow capillary reactors are influenced by noise in the feed streams, the stability of such a reactor for a system of three liquids was analyzed through its largest Lyapuno...

The synthesis problems of non‒isothermal water networks have received considerable attention throughout academia and industry over the last two decades because of the importance of simultaneously minimising water and energy consumption [1]. Most papers have addressed this issue only by considering heat integration between hot and cold water streams. In this study, the scope of heat integration ...
