Hydrodynamics and mixing in continuous oscillatory flow reactors—Part II: Characterisation methods [PDF]
This work presents and exploits quantitative measures to better quantify the performance of oscillatory baffled reactors, being complementary to simple vector plots and shear strain rate fields. Novel performance criteria, including radial and axial fluid stretching and mixing, as well as the shear strain rate history of fluid elements have been ...

Continuous-Flow Precipitation of Hydroxyapatite at 37 °C in a Meso Oscillatory Flow Reactor [PDF]
Continuous-flow precipitation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) was investigated in a meso oscillatory flow reactor (meso-OFR) and in a scaled-up meso-OFR, obtained by associating in series eight vertical meso-ORFs. Experiments were carried out under near-physiological conditions of temperature and pH, using fixed frequency (f = 0.83 Hz) and amplitude (x0 = 4.5 ...

Combustion and Pyrolysis EA-IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ<sup>2</sup>H of Diamonds. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.
