introduction spiral conveyors effectively carry solid masses as free or partly free flow of materials. they create good throughput and they are the perfect solution to solve the problems of transport, due to their simple structure, high efficiency and low maintenance costs. this study aims to investigate the performance characteristics of conveyors as function of auger diameter, rotational spee...

Volumetric N 2 adsorption at ?196°C is generally accepted as “gold standard” for estimating the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area of nanocellulose. It unclear however, whether BET nanocellulose obtained such low temperatures and pressures meaningful an absolute sense, used ambient temperature pressure. In this work, a systematic evaluation using highly crystalline bacterial cellulose (BC...

the objective of this work was to develop a new design of an intake manifold through a 1d simulation. it is quite familiar that a duly designed intake manifold is essential for the optimal performance of an internal combustion engine. air flow inside the intake manifold is one of the important factors, which governs the engine performance and emissions. hence the flow phenomenon inside the inta...

This paper proposes a complete framework consisting pre-processing, modeling, and postprocessing stages to carry out well tops guided prediction of a reservoir property (sand fraction) from three seismic attributes (seismic impedance, instantaneous amplitude, and instantaneous frequency) using the concept of modular artificial neural network (MANN). The dataset used in this study comprising thr...

Sol-gel hybrids are inorganic/organic co-networks with nanoscale interactions between the components leading to unique synergistic mechanical properties, which can be tailored, via a selection of the organic moiety. Methacrylate based polymers present several benefits for class II hybrids (which exhibit formal covalent bonding between the networks) as they introduce great versatility and can be...

In computer graphics, two types of geometric representations are widely used: surfaces and volumes. Surfaces are in nitely thin skins de ning the boundary of an object, and have been successful in modeling realistic appearances. However, their lack of information about the solid nature of objects make them inadequate for many applications. Volumes represent the entire solid geometry of an objec...

This paper describes a technique to animate three-dimensional sampled volumes. The technique gives the animator the ability to treat volumes as if they were standard polygonal models and to use all of the standard animation/motion capture tools on volumetric data. A volumetric skeleton is computed from a volumetric model using a multi-resolution thinning procedure. The volumetric skeleton is ce...
