FLOW CHARACTERIZATION OF DENSE-PHASE PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEM OF PULVERIZED COAL THROUGH ELECTROSTATIC SENSOR ARRAYS

Flow Characterization of Dense-Phase Pneumatic Conveying System of Pulverized Coal through Electrostatic Sensor Arrays

Experiments are performed in a dense-phase pneumatic conveying system of pulverized coal, and electrostatic signals and coal particle distribution images over cross-section of the pipeline at superficial gas velocities of 5.7 m/s, 6.9 m/s, and 8.1 m/s are obtained through use of electrostatic sensor arrays (ESA) and electrical capacitance tomograph

Physicochemical and metabolic constraints for thermodynamics-based stoichiometric modelling under mesophilic growth conditions.

Metabolic engineering in the post-genomic era is characterised RELAX by the development of new methods for metabolomics and fluxomics, supported by the integration of genetic engineering tools and mathematical modelling.Particularly, constraint-based stoichiometric models have been widely studied: (i) flux balance analysis (FBA) (in silico), and (i

Transduodenal ampullectomy is an effective surgical exploration procedure for unexplained dilation of the cholangiopancreatic duct

Abstract Background The clinical diagnosis and treatment of dilation of the cholangiopancreatic duct in patients with ambiguous ampullary disease, termed unexplained dilation of the cholangiopancreatic duct (UDCD), is commonly difficult.This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) for the diagnosis and treatmen
