This study created a mathematical model to simulate softgel drying rates and determine optimal drying conditions. The model divides the softgel into nodes and uses Fick's law of diffusion and mass transfer equations to calculate water concentration and temperature changes over time based on humidity, air velocity, and temperature. Simulation results showed that drying is optimized at low relative humidity (<50%) and low air velocity to allow water to leave the gelatin surface while avoiding case hardening. The model can help determine conditions that yield the proper final fill and shell moisture for good capsule quality without extensive experimentation.

Evaporation effects on jetting performance
This document discusses evaporation effects on inkjet performance and image quality. It summarizes that as nozzles sit idle, water evaporation causes large localized viscosity variations in the inkjet ejector. This has a negative impact on jetting performance and print quality. The document then goes into detail explaining the multi-physics involved, including heat and mass convection/diffusion at the ink-air interface, and how this affects the transient viscosity fields and ultimately jetting and image quality. Models are used to predict and understand these relationships and tradeoffs between ink formulation, environmental effects, and ejector design.
Experiment 1
This experiment measured the density and viscosity of fluids using different methods. Density of water was measured using a beaker, Eureka can, and density bottle, with the bottle found to be most accurate. Specific weights of glycerin and castor oil were also measured using a hydrometer. Viscosity was determined using a falling sphere viscometer with spheres of different sizes dropped in glycerin and castor oil. The viscosity of glycerin had high error likely due to low fluid level, while castor oil results were close to accepted values.

This document summarizes a PhD thesis on modeling two-phase flows of water droplets dispersed in oil and predicting droplet freezing during oil transportation pipelines. It describes developing a population balance model to simulate droplet behavior, single-fluid models to predict ice formation rates, and a multi-fluid model coupling the two. The population balance and single-fluid models were validated against experimental and numerical studies. A partial validation of the multi-fluid model showed similar results to the single-fluid model. Future work will fully validate the multi-fluid model and couple it with the population balance model to predict droplet freezing in two-phase flows.

What is mass transfer?
This document discusses mass transfer, which is one of the three major transport processes in chemical engineering along with momentum and heat transfer. Mass transfer occurs when there is a concentration difference driving the movement of species from a high concentration location to a low concentration location through diffusion. There are different mechanisms of mass transfer including molecular diffusion, eddy diffusion, and convective mass transfer. Molecular and eddy diffusion are forms of random motion that transfer species, while convective mass transfer relies more on the motion of the fluid. Mass transfer operations are widely used in industry for separation and purification processes.
Mass transfer
Mass transfer is the movement of mass from one location to another, such as between phases or components. It occurs through various processes like absorption, evaporation, drying, and distillation. Mass transfer involves both diffusive and convective transport mechanisms. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration down a concentration gradient via random molecular motion. Convection involves the bulk flow of a fluid carrying dissolved or suspended materials. Fick's first law describes the rate of diffusion, while Fick's second law describes how concentration changes over time at a given point for diffusion.
Volume and Density for secondary students
This document discusses volume and density in O-Level Physics. It defines volume and describes the displacement method for measuring the volume of irregular objects that are heavier or insoluble in water. The displacement method involves fully immersing the object in water and measuring the rise in water level, which equals the object's volume. It also defines mass and density, noting density is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume. The formula for density is provided along with examples of water and gold's densities.

It defines Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, categorizes non-Newtonian fluids, and presents the Herschel model. The model is used to derive an expression for volumetric flow rate in a cylindrical tube. The expression is verified analytically for different fluid types. Network modeling is also discussed, where a pore-scale network is constructed and the Herschel model is applied using an iterative approach to simulate flow. Initial results are presented and analyzed for two experimental data sets. Future work is outlined to improve the model.

Liquid Limit of soil sample
This document summarizes an experiment to determine the liquid limit of a soil sample. The experiment involved using a Casagrande apparatus to apply water to the soil sample and measure the moisture content at which the soil transitions from a plastic to liquid state. Graphs were included showing the relationship between moisture content and number of blows. The results found that the liquid limit obtained using the Casagrande apparatus was higher than when using a cone penetrometer method. The conclusion discussed that liquid limit is not entirely a physical property and is influenced more by sand particle size than shape.

Flow and heat transfer in rectangular microchannels, Scholars Press.com
This document summarizes a book that reports experimental results on flow and heat transfer in horizontal rectangular microchannels. The book focuses on presenting experimental data for single-phase flow and heat transfer characteristics in rectangular microchannels. The single-phase fluid flow results showed no deviation from friction factor theory for three different hydraulic diameters. Additionally, the single-phase heat transfer results demonstrated that smaller test sections yield higher heat transfer coefficients, though hydraulic diameter had insignificant effect on Nusselt number versus Reynolds number trends.

Investigations in Effective Viscosity of Fluid in a Porous Medium
In this work we address the quantification of Brinkman’s effective viscosity, which arises due to the presence of
the porous medium and its effect on increasing or decreasing the fluid viscosity in relation to the base fluid
viscosity. This work is motivated in the main part by the lack of consensus in the available literature on the
ranges of effective viscosity. To this end, this work provides a model of quantifying the effective viscosity by
incorporating the porous microstructure in the volume-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Extensive analysis and
testing are provided in the current work which considers five different porous microstructures, and the effective
viscosity is quantified in each case under Poiseuille flow

Cooling tower in the HVAC industry is used to reject heat from a system. The refrigeration cycle requires that the heat absorbed from a refrigerated space be rejected and this is done through the condenser where the water from the cooling tower exchanges heat so that it can be discharged by the cooling tower. It is essential that the performance of the cooling tower be improved so the refrigerant cycle can take place at its optimum.The paper explores the area in the cross-flow cooling tower where the focus on where the porous media or the fill / packing is located and the area in the vicinity for a single phase flow. The behavior of the air intake flow into the cooling tower from the side part through the fill will be observed and how it affects the distribution of the air flow inside the fill will be analyzed. The solution of the related governing equation for the basic flow and for flow involving porous media will be presented. It was revealed that the porosity introduced a high pressure drop inside the cooling tower. The pressure inside the cooling tower generally is lower that before the porous media was introduced. The results also revealed that if the heat transfer inside the porous media is to be improved, higher dynamic pressure inside the cooling tower is required which would result in higher fan power output.

Theoretical modelhas been applied to predict the performance of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) based on the analysis of heat and mass transfer through the membrane. The performance of DCMD on the account of different operating parameters had been predicted. Feed inlet temperature, coolant inlet temperature, feed flow rate and coolant flow rate are the considered performance variables. Based on the data obtained from theoretical model, statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) was then performed to determine the significant effect of each operating factors on the DCMD system performance. A new regression model was subsequently developed for predicting the performance of the DCMD system. Resultsrevealed that both theoretical and regression models were in good agreement with each other and also with the selected experimental data used for validation. The maximum percentage error between the two models was found to be1.098%. Hence, the developed regression model is adequate for predict the performance of DCMD system within the domain of the considered analysis.

The present paper deals with the effect of accelerated ageing on the ability of fibres to undergo saturation with water and the corresponding swelling kinetics. Changes in the surface charge of aged paper fibres were also investigated. Accelerated ageing was performed with newsprint paper at 98 °C and 50% RH during 0, 3, 5,7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 days. The rate and maximum swelling of accelerated aged paper in water were obtained with a modified monitoring unit measuring wood swelling ability. Since paper swells extremely fast in water, even at 30 °C, this apparatus made it possible for the first time to obtain accurate kinetic data on aged paper swelling in water. The polyelectrolyte titration technique was used to investigate changes in the surface charge on fibres from accelerated aged paper.

This study evaluated the effects of ultrasound pretreatment on osmotic dehydration of mango cubes. Mangoes were cut into cubes and some samples received ultrasound pretreatment before being subjected to osmotic dehydration in a 45° Brix sucrose solution at 65°C. Samples were analyzed for water loss, solid gain, and effective diffusion coefficients over time. Results showed that ultrasound pretreatment increased water loss, solid gain, and the effective diffusivity of water and solids compared to samples without pretreatment. Modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry was also used to characterize changes in the food matrix, such as increases in glass transition temperature, with decreasing moisture content.

The study finds that implementing a non-uniform temperature profile along the cathode channel, as calculated from a Mollier h-u chart, results in close to 100% relative humidity without external humidification and improves fuel cell performance. The model polarization curve and relative humidity distribution agree well with experimental results. Different current collector materials and membrane thickness influence temperature and relative humidity distributions through their effects on thermal conductivity and water transport.

This document describes a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of a segmented proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) under different temperature boundary conditions. The study found that using a non-uniform temperature profile along the cathode channel, calculated from experimental data, resulted in close to 100% relative humidity and improved fuel cell performance without external humidification. The CFD model predictions of polarization curve and relative humidity distribution agreed well with experimental results. Material properties like thermal conductivity were found to influence temperature and humidity distributions. Membrane thickness also affected net water transport and distributions. Implementing more accurate non-uniform temperature boundary conditions is important for modeling higher current densities with partially humidified reactants.

Enhancement of heat transfer rate using MgO nanofluid in heat exchanger
This document summarizes research on enhancing heat transfer in heat exchangers using magnesium oxide (MgO) nanofluids. The authors conducted experiments using a shell and tube heat exchanger with MgO nanofluids at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% added to a mixture of water and propylene glycol as the base fluid. Their results showed that adding MgO nanoparticles increased the thermal conductivity and overall heat transfer coefficient of the base fluid. The maximum enhancement of 33.51% in overall heat transfer coefficient occurred at a nanofluid concentration of 0.5% and flow rates of 6 and 12 liters/min compared to the base fluid alone.

The present paper deals with the effect of accelerated ageing on the ability of fibres to undergo saturation with water and the corresponding swelling kinetics. Changes in the surface charge of aged paper fibres were also investigated. Accelerated ageing was performed with newsprint paper at 98 °C and 50% RH during 0, 3, 5,7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 days. The rate and maximum swelling of accelerated aged paper in water were obtained with a modified monitoring unit measuring wood swelling ability. Since paper swells extremely fast in water, even at 30 °C, this apparatus made it possible for the first time to obtain accurate kinetic data on aged paper swelling in water. The polyelectrolyte titration technique was used to investigate changes in the surface charge on fibres from accelerated aged paper.

Different current collector materials and membrane thickness influence temperature and relative humidity distributions through their effects on thermal conductivity and water transport.

This document describes a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of a segmented proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) under different temperature boundary conditions. The study found that using a non-uniform temperature profile along the cathode channel, calculated from experimental data, resulted in close to 100% relative humidity and improved fuel cell performance without external humidification. The CFD model predictions of polarization curve and relative humidity distribution agreed well with experimental results. Material properties like thermal conductivity were found to influence temperature and humidity distributions. Membrane thickness also affected net water transport and distributions. Implementing more accurate non-uniform temperature boundary conditions is important for modeling higher current densities with partially humidified reactants.

Enhancement of heat transfer rate using MgO nanofluid in heat exchanger
This document summarizes research on enhancing heat transfer in heat exchangers using magnesium oxide (MgO) nanofluids. The authors conducted experiments using a shell and tube heat exchanger with MgO nanofluids at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% added to a mixture of water and propylene glycol as the base fluid. Their results showed that adding MgO nanoparticles increased the thermal conductivity and overall heat transfer coefficient of the base fluid. The maximum enhancement of 33.51% in overall heat transfer coefficient occurred at a nanofluid concentration of 0.5% and flow rates of 6 and 12 liters/min compared to the base fluid alone. The maximum enhancement of 37.71

In the present study, experimental investigation on thermal conductivity of green
nanofluids prepared from coconut fibre-based nanoparticles and suspended in 60:40
ethylene glycol (EG) water (W) mixture was carried out. The measurement of thermal
conductivity was conducted at 15 °C to 60 °C at mass fractions of 0.04 wt%, 0.08
wt%, 0.5 wt% and 1 wt%. The results show deterioration in thermal conductivity with
an increasing temperature. Also the deterioration increased as the mass fraction
increased.
Study of Preconditioning Procedures for Absorption and Permeability of Concrete
This document describes a study that compared different preconditioning procedures for concrete specimens prior to measuring their permeability and capillary absorption. The standard RILEM preconditioning procedure is described, which involves drying specimens, conditioning them at 75% relative humidity, and redistributing moisture over several weeks. An alternative simplified procedure is proposed to reduce the conditioning time. Specimens conditioned using both procedures were tested for capillary absorption and gas permeability. The results showed similar measurements between the two procedures, suggesting the simplified approach could be used as an alternative to the standard RILEM method.
An Experimental Study on Drying Kinetics of Guava Fruit (Psidium Guajava L) B...
The thin layer drying behavior of Psidium guajava L (guava fruit) cultivar Rayalaseema area AP,
India, were studied experimentally to examine the influence of drying air temperature, slice thickness, and air
velocity on the drying curves. Drying operation was carried out at 55oC, 60oC and 65oC temperatures, at slice
thickness of 2.5 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm at 1 and 1.5 m/sec velocities. The predominant falling rate drying regime
was observed. The analysis reveals that, the drying temperature and slice thickness has a significant effect and
velocity has a least effect on moisture removal. Drying rate is found to increase with the increase in air
temperature and thus reduced the drying time. Drying time increases with increase in slice thickness. The
various drying models in defining the suitability of drying behavior were examined by statistical analysis. The
analysis reveals, that the Henderson and Pabis model is better model that explains the drying behavior of
Guava Fruit (R2=0.993).
Heat transfer to down flowing viscous films with Evaporation from the interface
Introduction: Within long vertical boiling tubes thermo hydrodynamic processes in liquid film take place at a regime of cycling mixing in the bulk of the film by the powerful waves. The existing Heat Transfer models of such phenomena do not take info account such intermittent mixing of fluid Materials and methods: The heat transfer and hydrodynamic processes that take place in down flowing film of water and sugar solutions at the regimes of evaporation from the interface have been studied. There were developed mathematical models, which then were compared with the result of direct experimentation of heat transfer in tubes at the regimes of solutions concentrations. Results and discussion: A mathematical model of heat transfer in laminar, heated to the saturation temperatures liquid films with the developed wavy structures on the free interface have been developed. The model takes into consideration cyclic relaxation of transient temperature field which happens right after the passage of a powerful big wave. The developed mathematical model describes the time history of the two dimensional temperature fields as a function of the Peclet number and the core characteristic of the wavy motion (the length of big waves). Based upon the proposed model a set of correlations have been obtained. These are proposed as a means for the generalization of heat transfer experimental data, obtained within the experimental studies of liquid films, heated to the saturation temperatures and evaporating from the interface. A generalized equation has been derived, which can be used for the calculations of Heat Transfer Coefficients (HTC) to the saturated sugar solutions liquid films. This equation contains wavy characteristics of down flowing films and valid within the range of parameters characteristic for the sugar industry evaporators, namely: concentrations – 0…70 % dry matter; liquid mass flow rate density–0.01×10-3…0.6×10-3 m 2 /sec, the Peclet number range – 400…25000. The mathematical model of the temperature field cyclic relaxation turned out efficient for generalization of heat transfer experimental data not only laminar, but turbulent liquid films either, despite of the fact that the transport equations do not contain turbulent characteristics. Conclusions: A correlation between the liquid film wavy structure with the heat transfer has been established. The correlation is based upon the model of temperature field cyclic relaxation after passage of big waves. The respective correlations have been presented.
1 s2.0-s0140700714001698-main pcm refrigeration
This study examines the heat transfer properties of submicro-encapsulated phase change material (PCM) plates for potential use in food packaging applications. Rubitherm RT5 PCM was encapsulated in polycaprolactone shells using electrospinning. Plates with 30% and 38% PCM mass fractions were tested experimentally and modeled numerically using an enthalpy method. Experimental differential scanning calorimetry showed the 38% plate had a higher phase change enthalpy. Numerical modeling validated by experiments demonstrated the encapsulated PCM plates provide better thermal buffering than standard cardboard packaging.

2) Experiments tested different air flow rates and water spray conditions.
3) The system achieved a maximum fresh water production rate of 8.64 liters/hour at an air to water mass ratio of 0.13 and inlet cooling water temperature of 15°C.
Temperature Sensitive Material for the Desiccant Dehumidification System
To minimize the energy consumption of an air-conditioning sub-system,
temperature sensitive poly N-isopropylacrylamide hydrogel with
temperature non-sensitive porous silicon gel was made through
solution polymerization. The polymer yield, water absorption, and the
water discharge rate were observed using a differential thermal graph.
This graph provided the details of the temperature response of water
molecules. These gels were placed on glass paper soaked with acid for
dehumidification system. The critical temperatures for the synthesized
polymer has lower critical solution temperatures, so we reduced the cost
and improved performance by using the optimized synthesizing ratio.

This document summarizes a study that investigated factors influencing paraffin wax deposition during crude oil production. The study used a laboratory flow-loop system to simulate wax deposition. The experimental results showed that:
1) Wax deposition decreased with increasing temperature difference between the waxy fluid and cold surface, and with increasing flow rate.
2) The amount of paraffin wax deposited initially increased with time, reached a maximum value, and then gradually decreased.
3) Wax concentration percentage weight in the deposit slightly varied with time as the temperature changed at a constant flow rate.
4) The integration of temperature difference, flow rate, residence time, and wax concentration can significantly impact wax deposition during crude

Moisture equilibrium data of Urtica urens leaves by desorption and adsorption were
determined at 30, 40, and 50°C. The isotherms were determined by a static gravimetric method for
various temperature and humidity conditions. Five mathematical models were used to fit
the experimental data. A nonlinear least-squares regression program was used to evaluate the constants
of the five desorption and adsorption isotherm models GAB and Modified Halsey models were adequate
to describe the sorption characteristics of the samples. Isosteric heats of desorption and adsorption were
calculated by applying the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to the sorption isotherms at different
temperatures. It decreased with increasing moisture content. We recognized the linear relation exists
between the enthalpy and entropy of the sorption reaction
Effective Moisture Diffusivity and Activation Energy of Tomato in Thin Layer ...
The aim of this paper is to report tomato slice moisture diffusivity data determined and activation energy from experimental drying kinetics. The thin-layer drying experiments were carried out under five air temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80ºC, two air velocity 1.5, and 2 m/s and three level of relative humidity 20, 40 and 60%. It was observed that drying took place in the falling rate period. Moisture transfer from tomato slice was described by applying the Fick’s diffusion model. The effective diffusivity values changed from 9.9119×10^-10 to 6.4037×10^-9 m^2/s for the range of temperatures considered. An Arrhenius relation with an activation energy value of 33.3299 to 43.2287 kJ/mol and the diffusivity constant value of 1.7695×10^-4 to 3.09156×10^-2 m^2/s were obtained which shows the effect of drying air temperature, air velocity and relative humidity on the diffusivity.

We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Softgel drying model drying
- 1. Mathematical Modeling of Mass and Heat Transfer to Determine Softgel Drying Rates C. Spiegel, D. Fulper Catalent Pharma Solutions Purpose The purpose of this study was to create a transient mass and heat transfer model to predict softgel drying rates in order to improve and optimize existing drying processes. The mass and heat transfer model determines the temperatures and the water concentrations in and on the surface of the gelatin film in order to understand the potential impact of changing humidity and air velocities on final capsule water activity, brittleness, and fill moisture. Methods A Matlab-based program was developed to analyze the mass and temperature distribution in a gelatin film with temperature, humidity, and air velocity with varying ribbon thickness. The total ribbon/softgel volume is divided into nodes in order to accurately calculate the drying rates. The mass and energy balances for each node are integrated simultaneously using MATLAB’s ode45 function. Arrays were created for the node water concentration, temperatures, heat flows, and thermal conductivities of each node. Fick's law is used to model the diffusion in each node. Depending upon the air velocity, either Ficks's law or convective mass transfer equations are used to model the mass transfer of water from the gelatin surface into the surrounding air. Results The results of the model showed that optimal drying of gelatin temperature is a balance between low relative humidities and low air velocities. Increased humidity (> 50%) does not allow the softgel to dry properly because the softgel shell obtains an equilibrium between the shell and the surrounding environment. Increased temperatures and velocities aid in the drying process to a certain extent, however, high velocities and temperatures are not effective due to "case hardening". The drying process can be optimized for each gelatin and fill formulation. Conclusion Simulation of gelatin drying processes can provide insight into the transport phenomena that is occurring in order to avoid costly and time-consuming experimentation. It can be used to determine optimal states of humidity, air velocity, and temperature for drying gelatin. These drying conditions determine the final percent moisture in the fill material and shell material, which in turn determines final capsule hardness, brittleness and quality.
