The pressure drop and conveying stability caused by the bend significantly affect the pneumatic conveying process of stiff shotcrete, which is the key to solving the problem of long-distance transportation. In this paper, the effects of different air...

Composting has been recognized as a sustainable technology to treat and manage organic waste [...]

The objective of this study is to analyze feeder loss minimization and load balance under given constrains. Effective methods are required for feeder switching/reconfiguration. Feeder switching is a mixed-integer large-scale combinatorial problem for...

Smart factories have attracted a lot of attention from scholars for intelligent scheduling problems due to the complexity and dynamics of their production processes. The dynamic job shop scheduling problem (DJSP), as one of the intelligent scheduling...

When a Pelton turbine operates in sand laden water, the abrasive wear of its overflow components by high-speed jets is serious. Based on the VOF (volume of fluid) multiphase flow model, the SST (shear stress transfer) k-ω turbulence model, the...

Based on the analysis of lithology, lithofacies combinations, sedimentary structures, and fossil types in five geological sections measured through fieldwork, this paper comprehensively elucidates the sedimentary evolution characteristics of the Jura...

Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) is employed in the sulfide ore flotation process due to its excellent collection performance. Herein, we investigated the interfacial adsorption behavior of DDTC on the four main mineral phases of high-sulfur residue: su...

This paper presents the failure analysis of the crack and leakage accident of a crude oil pipeline under CO2-steam flooding in the western oilfield of China. To analyze the failure behavior and cause, different testing, including nondestructive testi...

In tight reservoirs, the rock formations are typically less porous and permeable, which makes it more difficult for hydrocarbons to flow through them. In addition to length and conductivity, the height of a fracture is another critical parameter of t...

The power sector may reduce carbon emissions and reach carbon neutrality by accelerating the energy transition and lowering its reliance on fossil fuels. However, there are limitations on the new power system’s ability to operate safely and ste...
