In this work, a three-dimensional CFD model for the gas–solid flow of two different particle sizes in a CFB riser coupled with a kinetic theory (KT) has been developed. The properties of the solid phases are calculated using the proposed multi-...

Valorizing agri-food industrial waste is essential for a circular economy, yielding high-value products, waste reduction, technological solutions, employment opportunities, and enhanced food security. This work shows the valorization of seeds generat...

Marangoni bursting describes the spontaneous spread of a droplet of a binary mixture of alcohol/water deposited on a bath of oil, followed by its fast spontaneous fragmentation into a large number of smaller droplets in a self-similar way. Several pa...

Peristaltic pump technology is widely used wherever relatively low, highly accurately dosed volumetric flow rates are required and where fluid contamination must be excluded. Thus, typical fields of application include food, pharmaceuticals, medical...

Highway buses are used in a wide range of commuting services and in the tourist industry. The demand for highway bus transportation has dramatically increased in the recent post-pandemic world, and airborne transmission risks may increase alongside t...

This study aims to investigate the impact of body heat loss on the thermal and aerodynamic conditions in a whole-body cryotherapy chamber. The underlying hypothesis is that the heat generated by the human body alters the thermal and aerodynamic envir...

Partial electrification of hydraulic circuits to achieve energy savings requires an increase in the angular speed of the positive displacement pumps, with the risk of incomplete filling. In this context, the paper focuses on developing a computationa...

A novel device of flow rate augmentation is proposed and experimentally examined in a horizontal valveless closed loop pump using a time-dependent stenosis (convergent–divergent channel) in contrast with the commonly used taper tubes of constan...

High-speed gas/vapour jets injected into a cross-moving sonic liquid signifies a vital phenomenon which bears useful applications in environmental and energy processes. In the present experimental study, a pulsating jet of supersonic steam was inject...

Traditionally, Fourier spectra have been employed to gain a deeper understanding of turbulence flow structures. The investigation of isotropic forced turbulence with passive scalars offers a straightforward means to examine the disparities between ve...
