sludge drying bed is preferred to mechanical methods due to the need for very simple technology. due to restriction of natural dewatering, we tried to eliminate some of these limitations by the tests and studies of assumptions. in this study, the effect of hydrostatic suction and sludge chemical conditioning has been studied in the natural sludge dewatering optimization. at first, hydrostatic s...

one of the most important parts of power transmission in automotives is c.v. joint, which consists of four components where exterior bowl is one of them. due to its complexity, and importance in automobile and existence of high stresses, forging process is the only cost effective method of production. hence, the best method of production of this part is forging process. the exterior part of c.v...

Based on computational fluid dynamics, friction lubrication theory and hydrostatic technology, large size hydrostatic Guide-way of heavy vertical CNC lathes,which are widely used, was taken as research object. The control equation of hydrostatic guide-way’s interstitial fluid was established. By finite volume method, lubricating oil properties, boundary conditions such as constant flow inlet, o...

For the simulation of tsunamis, the hydrostatic shallow water equations have established as a sound mathematical basis. However, due to the hydrostatic assumption, not all relevant physical effects—especially in coastal areas—can be modelled accurately. In this paper, we therefore show how to extend the PDE-framemwork sam(oa)2 towards modified non-hydrostatic shallow water equations. We use the...

In this study, five microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) grades were physically characterized and their extrusion-spheronization behaviours were characterized in terms of water requirements and pellet shape profiles. It was found that the MCC grades differed significantly in the physical properties investigated. Physical properties of MCC were found to influence the water requirement for extrusion-...

The ZK61 alloy rods with different grain sizes and crystallographic texture were successfully fabricated by cyclic extrusion and compression (CEC). Their room-temperature tension & compression yield strength displayed a significant dependence on grain size and texture, essentially attributed to {10-12} twinning. The texture variations were characterized by the angle θ between the c-axis of ...

This study investigates a novel changing channel angular (CCA) extrusion process, in which high strains are induced within the billet by passing it through a series of channels of unequal cross-sections arranged such that they form specified internal angles. Using commercial DEFORM 2D rigid-plastic finite element code, the plastic deformation behavior of CuZn37 brass alloy is examined during on...

To preserve epithelial barrier function, dying cells are squeezed out of an epithelium by "apoptotic cell extrusion." Specifically, a cell destined for apoptosis signals its live neighboring epithelial cells to form and contract a ring of actin and myosin II that squeezes the dying cell out of the epithelial sheet. Although most apoptotic cells extrude apically, we find that some exit basally. ...

This paper reports on an experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) of the cold extrusion of high-grade (AA1100) aluminium. The influence of die angle, reduction ratio and die land on the extrusion force during the extrusion process was investigated. A forward extrusion die was designed and manufactured for the purpose of the experimental research. Interchangeable elements of the extrusion ...

Abstract Evolutionary algorithms have become an extensively used tool for identification of crystal plasticity parameters hexagonal close packed metals and alloys. However, the fitness functions were usually built using experimentally measured stress–strain curves. Here, function is by means numerical comparison simulated experimental textures. Namely, normalized texture difference index minimi...
