Spray drying is one of the most commonly used methods to produce a powder out of a liquid and is widely used in the food industry. During spray drying, the liquid is atomised into hot air and dried in the drying chamber within seconds to minutes. The residence time, which is the contact ... En savoir plus
Whereas the physic models of fluid lubrication should be able to provide quantitative predictions to industrial problems, it is somehow demanding to provide the input data to feed these high-level equation systems. The operating conditions are generally available, and the material ... En savoir plus
This presentation concerns a novel technique ("Indentation Plastometry") for the rapid and versatile measurement of the plasticity and strength characteristics of metallic materials using indentation data. The methodology has recently been developed by former scientists from the ... En savoir plus
IntroductionThe application of power ultrasounds in food dehydration processes have shown a good performance in terms of efficiency, energy reduction and quality of the final product, allowing also a reduction in the convective drying kinetics, and at lower temperatures than conventional ...

Food pastes generally consist of a viscous liquid phase in which a high concentration of solid fillers is embedded and their production often includes a dosing step that involves high speed extrusion. Due to the high volume fraction of solid fillers, this extrusion is not only subject to ... En savoir plus
Fouling accumulation in pipelines is a known problem in industry which is currently treated by mechanical, hydraulic and chemical means. Each requiring a halt in the production to carry out the procedure. Industry requires a method that is non-invasive and can be used in-situ, Ultrasonic ... En savoir plus
3D-scanning of rooms and entire buildings is state of the art and commonly used to obtain and save the digital building structure. This information simplifies appropriate planning for modifications, to equip rooms, for interior design, etc. With a new approach of IR-heating and IR ... En savoir plus
The integration of a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system in District Heating (DH) networks allows increasing the share of renewables in the energy scheme, but it requires a proper pre-design phase in which the modelling of the TES system is adequately driven. The main purpose of this ... En savoir plus
In recent decades, 3D fabrics are being increasingly used in aerospace, military, protection, sports and leisure and other industrial applications. 3D textile structures are formed from two fabric layers (top and bottom layer) combined by a spacer yarn or connecting layer. The ... En savoir plus
In a continuation of our previous work on the modelling of the dynamic microstructural viscous and thermal dissipation mechanisms in cylindrical fibrous porous materials, we have now extended the approach to include isotropic 3D Kelvin foam cell geometries having cylindrical strut ... En savoir plus
