Maintaining Piping and Support Systems
Gerry May
With proper pipe support design, installation and maintenance, pipe damage should normally not develop for decades.
Increase Powder Flow via Gas Injection
Herman Purutyan, John W. Carson, Thomas G. Troxel
Fluidization and air-assisted discharge are two ways to optimize fine-solids handling. However, the choice of technology is as important as designing and operating the system properly.
Understand Discrete Nanoscale Transport
Anh-Tuan Dinh, Chinmay Pangarkar, Samir Mitragotri
Unlike mass, energy and momentum transfer, which are described by continuum equations, the movements and interactions of the nanoscale entitites within a cell constitute the transport phenomenon known as discrete nanoscale transport (DNT).
Preventing Maldistribution in Multi-Pass Trays
Henry Z. Kister, Matthew R. Olsson, Richard Dionne, Walter J. Stupin
This method, based on hydraulic equations in the open literature, calculates vapor/liquid distribution in four-pass trays to correctly predict flooding and efficiency.
