The authors have presented an excellent example of the total systems approach to overcoming a dif­ ficult waste disposal problem. They have presented useful guideline data for fluid bed incinerators which are increasingly being adopted for thermal destruc­ tion of difficult organic sludges. Although not of concern in the design described, the fluid bed incinerator has the special capability of ...

BACKGROUND Variations associated with sex, age, velocity, breed and body geometry should be considered in the determination of kinematic parameters for a gait considered normal. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate kinematic patterns of forelimbs and hind limbs in clinically normal sheep from two different age groups walking at a constant velocity. The hypothesis was that the age may influen...

The different thermal energy performance between spouted, fluidized, and fixed beds when using supercritical CO2 as a fluidizing agent was numerically investigated by employing combined approach of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Coarse-Grained Particle (CGP) methods. model first validated against experimental data available in the literature, confirming that simulated particle velocity temp...

An experimental study is conducted to determine the effect of different types of nanoparticles on the gas fluidization characteristics of nanoparticle agglomerates. Taking advantage of the extremely high porosity of the bed, optical techniques are used to visualize the flow behavior, as well as to measure the sizes of the fluidized nanoparticle agglomerates at the bed surface. Upon fluidizing 1...
