CFD analysis of the fluidised bed hydrodynamic behaviour inside an isothermal gasifier with different perforated plate distributors [PDF]

, 2017
The hydrodynamic behaviour of gas-solid mixtures inside Bed Fluidised Beds (BFB) gasifiers has a major impact on the gasification process due to particles - gas and particle - particle contact mechanisms.

Investigation of a swirling flow nozzle for a fluidised bed gas distributor [PDF]

, 2015
This paper relates to a multi-orifice distributor for a gas-fluidised bed, using many upward-facing nozzles, equally spaced in a horizontal plate. Each orifice contained a removable helical coil, which made the gas swirl as it entered the bed.

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.
