Journal ArticleDOI
Aggregation and dispersion of spheres falling in viscoelastic liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the settling on one sphere near another or near a wall and find maximum differences between Newtonian and viscoelastic liquids, with repulsion between nearby bodies in the Newtonian case and attraction in the visco-elastic case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Almond oil extraction by supercritical CO2: experiments and modelling
TL;DR: In this article, an extraction model based on the physical evidence of broken and intact oil cells has been developed, which accounts for a former equilibrium regime and a latter finite mass transfer regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical Modeling of Sunflower Seed Extraction by Supercritical CO2
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified form of a sigmoidal-shaped equilibrium curve was adopted to fit the experimental data in the whole range of CO2 flow rates explored, and the meaning of this nonlinear equilibrium relationship was also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical fractional extraction of fennel seed oil and essential oil: Experiments and mathematical modeling
TL;DR: In this article, a model based on differential mass balances and the concept of broken and intact cells has been proposed for the extraction of fennel vegetable oil, where only one adjustable parameter has been used: the internal mass transfer coefficient kt. A fairly good fitting of the experimental data was obtained by setting kt = 8 × 10-8 m/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggregation phenomena in fluidization of cohesive powders assisted by mechanical vibrations
Diego Barletta,Massimo Poletto +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of acceleration level on gas fluidization of a 0.300 kg bed of silica powder and a potato starch powder was studied in an 85mm ID mechanically vibrated column.
