Development of a Mechanically Regenerating Desublimator for Freeze‐Drying Systems in the Food Industry

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Thermal defrosting limits desublimator efficiency in freeze‐drying. This review and case study compares thermal versus mechanical regeneration, links frost properties and external heat transfer to energy demand, and summarizes pilot‐scale scraping results enabling single‐unit, continuous lyophilization.

On Learned Ignorance: Science and Unknowability in the Religious Enterprise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The author looks at the importance of the dynamic of unknowability in theology and in science, alike. Both disciplines teach us about ourselves, not about God. Learning about the universe and our own place in it, we learn more about our fallibility and

Detection of Particulate Matter With Lock‐In Thermography

open access: yesCleanMat, EarlyView.
Accurate quantification of black carbon is essential due to its significant impact on climate, air quality, and human health. Lock‐in thermography (LIT), as implemented by NanoLockin's instrument Calorsito, offers a sensitive, scalable, and reproducible approach for detecting black carbon on filter substrates.

The Location of the Snow Line in Protostellar Disks

open access: yes, 2009
The snow line in a gas disk is defined as the distance from the star beyond which the water ice is stable against evaporation. Since oxygen is the most abundant element after hydrogen and helium, the presence of ice grains can have important consequences

Large eddy simulation of near-surface boundary layer dynamics over patchy snow

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The near-surface boundary layer over patchy snow is highly heterogeneous and dynamic. Layers of opposing stability coexist within only a few horizontal meters. Conventional experimental methods to investigate this layer suffer from limitations related to

Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...

A Two-Threshold Model for Scaling Laws of Non-Interacting Snow Avalanches

open access: yes, 2004
The sizes of snow slab failure that trigger snow avalanches are power-law distributed. Such a power-law probability distribution function has also been proposed to characterize different landslide types.
