CFD-based design optimization of a 5 kW ducted hydrokinetic turbine with practical constraints [PDF]
Ducted hydrokinetic turbines enhance energy-harvesting efficiency by better conditioning the flow to the blades, which may yield higher power output than conventional freestream turbines for the same reference area. In this work, we present a ducted hydrokinetic turbine design obtained by simultaneously optimizing the duct, blade, and hub geometries ...

Polarity switch of PMMA powder transported through a PMMA duct [PDF]
During pneumatic conveying, powder electrifies rapidly due to the high flow velocities. In our experiments, the particles even charge if the conveying duct is made of the same material, which might be caused by triboelectrification between two asymmetric contact surfaces.
