Abstract:
... This theoretical study examined the impact of the degree of mixing, nonlinear particle breakage, and screen opening size on the particle size distribution (PSD) and mass hold-up in continuous dry mills with internal classification. A cell-based population balance model (PBM) incorporating a non-ideal screen model was formulated, wherein the back-mixing ratio and number of cells modulated the exten ...

Velocity profiles are obtained from the resolution of two ordinary differential equations. The first is derived from the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation while the second is from the equilibrium between turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) productio ...

Quasi-2D perovskites are potential materials for optoelectronics like light-emitting diodes (LEDs); compared to their 3D counterparts, they are considered more stable against the atmosphere and more efficient in exciton confining. However, the simultaneous formation of different phases in the quasi-2D perovskite film, i.e., the phase impurity issue, lowers the device performance. We propose using ...

Abstract:
... Plant pollen is an important alternative food for generalist phytoseiid mites ensuring survival and supporting population build-up during periods of prey scarcity. However, in the short term predator efficacy can be negatively affected by pollen provisioning as a consequence of predator satiation or when pollen is preferred over prey. This is counteracted by the fact that, combining pollen with pr ...

We have reviewed the published chemical analyses of the bronze coinage produced in pre-Qin China (before 221 BCE), with the aim of understanding the alloying practices which took place before these coins were cast. Conventionally it has been assumed that they were made to a ‘target composition’, by separately adding lead and tin to copper. However, by characterizing the composition of the differen ...
