...Timo Kulju; Markus Riihimäki; Tiina M. Pääkkönen; Ossi Vilhunen; Kyösti Lipiäinen; Esa Muurinen; Riitta Keiski Heat exchangers are commonly used in process industries; however, fouling, such as sedimentation of particulate material is a significant challenge hindering the efficient use of heat...

...M. Firouzi; S. H. Hashemabadi In this paper, the motion equation for steady state, laminar, fully developed flow of Newtonian fluid through the concave and convex ducts has been solved both numerically and analytically. These cross sections can be formed due to the sedimentation of heavy components...

... fluid enriches the available MR response, resulting, in some cases, in an increased sedimentation stability, larger saturation critical stresses, and faster response to time varying magnetic fields. Finally, our own composite based MR fluid is discussed, and shown to possess a field dependent response...

...F. R. Cunha; G. C. Abade; A. J. Sousa; E. J. Hinch In this paper we present direct numerical simulations of monodisperse and polydisperse suspensions of non-Brownian particles sedimenting at low Reynolds number. We describe a scheme to generate ergodic ensembles of random particulate systems...

...N. A. Patankar, Research Associate,; H. H. Hu, Associate Professor, Particles sedimenting in a viscoelastic fluid form chains. It has been observed in experiments that, sometimes, the last particle in the chain gets detached. In this paper, we investigate this phenomenon. It is known that a long...
