Cold rotating finger: Apparatus to study wax deposition under shear
A bench-top Cold Rotating Finger (CRF) is developed to study the effect of fluid shear on wax deposition. An inner rotating cylinder provides opportunity to study wax deposition on surfaces in the region of high fluid shear stress (and laminar/turbulent ...

Application of Bio-Derived Alternatives for the Assured Flow of Waxy Crude Oil: A Review
High molecular weight paraffin/wax precipitates in the solution of crude oil when the surrounding temperature falls below the wax appearance temperature, which causes the problem of wax deposition in pipelines.

Wax Deposition Correlation-Application in Multiphase Wax Deposition Models
The two most dominant factors in wax deposition are:Brownian diffusion of wax forming molecules toward and adhesion of wax crystals at the wall. The rate of adhesion is governed by the temperature difference between wall and fluid and the wax crystal ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
