Non-contact, remote monitoring of thickness and drying progress of a paint film is required in fields of non-destructive testing and evaluation. For rapid image acquisition of 2D cross-section in paint film, we propose a terahertz (THz) paintmeter based on real-time 2D THz tomography, which is achieved by a combination of electro-optical time-to-space conversion and line focusing of a THz beam ...

Spray drying is a commonly used method of drying a liquid feed through a hot gas. This study aims to obtain the empirical model of the spray drying process of full cream milk using a nozzle atomizer spray dryer, Lab-Plant SD 05 Laboratory Scale Spray Dryer. Inlet air temperature was chosen as the manipulated variable and outlet air temperature was the controlled variable. No disturbance was con...

Environmentally Safe and Effective Processes for Paint Removal Paint stripping and repainting of aircraft surfaces arc requircd periodically during thc operating lifetime of an aircraft. Historically, paint removal has been achieved using chemical strippers, involving materials which contain toxic components and which create hazardous working conditions. The process generates large amounts of h...

In collaboration with an engineering firm in Santa Barbara County, the department of Statistics at California Polytechnic sought to establish aesthetic performance tracking, control, and capability of a new product line. The new product line required a finish painting operation with stringent customer requirements for coating and aesthetic performance. Through data collection and monitoring, pa...

In this study, olive pit powders were added to a polyurethane-acrylate paint for examining the impact of two alternative functionalization processes in increasing filler hydrophobicity an effort increase durability paint. order look into potential changes morphology and appearance owing surface conversion treatments bio-based additives, coatings examined using electron microscopy colorimetric t...

The Gene Ontology Consortium launched the GO-PAINT project (Phylogenetic Annotation and INference Tool) 9 years ago and is currently being used in the GO Reference Genome Annotation Project to support inference of GO function terms (molecular function, cellular component and biological process) by homology. PAINT uses a phylogenetic model to infer gene function by homology, a process that requi...

In cookware industry, interior spray coating process is an important process to protect the cookware product from the corrosion. In this process, the coating material “TEFLON” is used to spray to cover all the part’s surface. If a pot or pan is not too deep, one spray gun is enough to spray to cover all the interior surface. However, for the high side-wall pot, two spray guns must be used to sp...

Abstract Graphic vandalism causes detrimental effects on architectural stone surfaces. Among the cleaning methods developed in last decades, laser showed considerable effectiveness but available equipment still lacks full adaptability for use site, while process is time-consuming site work requirements. In this paper, feasibility of a fiber operating at 1064 nm (Yb:YAG) high repetition rate (kH...

In recent days, current research is going in alternative fuels due to increase in global warming and pollution in all over the world and also very stringent emission norms. In this way, the study on spray progress plays an important role in improving complete combustion and emission of fuel, because it is directly affects the air-fuel mixture formation. The macroscopic spray characteristics of ...
