Energy analysis of the convective drying of iron ore fines [PDF]
Drying operations in iron ore processing plants have a particularly high energy demand due to the massive solid flow rates employed in this industry. A 33 full-factorial design was applied to investigate the effects of air temperature, airflow velocity ...

Suspension trauma (also known as "harness-induced pathology" or "orthostatic shock while suspended") is the development of presyncopal symptoms and loss of consciousness if the human body is held motionless in a vertical position for a period of time. It has been described in experiments of personal fall protection, and has been implicated in causes of

Suspension fertilisers based on alternative raw materials - the key to sustainability and closed nutrient cycles [PDF]
The rapid, high increase in production costs and prices of mineral fertilizers leads to a reduction in their use by farmers, while fertilizer manufacturers consider the use of alternative raw materials and reducing the energy consumption of fertilizer ...

Formulation of Highly Concentrated Suspensions for Spray Drying in a Fluidized Bed
Spray drying of suspensions leads most often to free-flowing powder products of good quality. However, this process is energy-consuming, especially because of the high amounts of liquid to be evaporated from the ...

Hydrodynamic fluctuations and instabilities in ordered suspensions of self-propelled particles [PDF]
We construct the hydrodynamic equations for {\em suspensions} of self-propelled particles (SPPs) with spontaneous orientational order, and make a number of striking, testable predictions:(i) SPP suspensions with the symmetry of a true {\em nematic} are {\

Control of Automotive Semi-Active MR Suspensions for In-Wheel Electric Vehicles
In this work, four different semi-active controllers for a quarter of vehicle and full vehicles are evaluated and compared when used in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles vs electric vehicles (EVs) with in-wheel motor configuration as a way to ...

Geometric Cone Surfaces and (2+1)- Gravity coupled to Particles [PDF]
We introduce the (2+1)-spacetimes with compact space of genus g and with r gravitating particles which arise by ``Minkowskian suspensions of flat or hyperbolic cone surfaces'', by ``distinguished deformations'' of hyperbolic suspensions and by ...
