Lyophilization is a food preservation process that allows to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other contaminants by removing water content in the processed food. Conventional vacuum dryers provide heat by thermal conduction to assist the phase change transformation, but if the product ... Read More
The blast furnace is a counter flow reactor to produce pig iron. The molten pig iron and byproduct slag are accumulated at the hearth of the furnace, from where they are tapped regularly. The blast furnace has to stay continuously in operation for many years to prevent solidification of ... Read More
Structural safety assessment of cultural heritage masonry structures plays an important role in safeguarding their integrity and conservation. In this regard, masonry modeling is one of the most challenging tasks, since an accurate reproduction of its mechanical behavior is necessary to ... Read More
This paper reports the modelling and analysis of three dimensional negative dielectrophoretic traps for cell trapping applications. Dielectrophoresis is a well-established technique for cell analysis and cell trapping. Planar electrodes, at the bottom of a microfluidic channel, have been ... Read More
Metamaterials have become a very hot topic in scientific publications, especially in Acoustics. In 2018, nearly 3,000 publications can be already found about acoustic metamaterials (source: Google Scholar). But how many industrial applications? Not that much because they are often ... Read More
The reduction of NOx emissions in combustion systems like domestic boilers, gas turbine combustors, industrial burners, etc., can be achieved by using lean premixed combustion technologies. One of the major concerns in the operability of such systems is their susceptibility to ... Read More
Cake batters are complex fat-in-water emulsions with four bulk phases (aqueous, fat, gas, and solid starch granules). The process of cake baking is very complex since a change in thermo-physical properties of batter take place during this process. The aim of this project is to develop an ... Read More
During the manufacturing of CFRP components one of the most critical process steps is the vacuum bagging. In this process several layers of material are draped separately over complex part shapes. The specific properties of each material, which are needed for the process (i. e. breather, ... Read More
The search for energy saving is nowadays mandatory because of the constant growth of CO2 emissions caused by an inefficient energy management. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) has an important role in designing of energy efficient systems, including solar energy storage (daily or seasonal) ... Read More
Cereal foods can be considered as cellular solids: texture is defined by their structure and mechanical properties [1]. Elderly people show a significant alteration of oral health [2] and salivation [3], causing difficulties to eat. Therefore, there is a need to understand chewing ... Read More
