TL;DR: The results lead to the conclusion that barium sulfate grows according to a self-assembled aggregation mechanism followed by a fast recrystallization process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented experimental results of pressure drop measurements for different solid ceramic sponges and correlated this data using an Ergun-type equation, which can provide a simple method for determining hydraulic diameters for unknown geometric parameters (strut, window and pore diameter).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations of impinging jets with 13 widely spread Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models using commercial CFD software, and the only model able to predict correctly the laminar-turbulent transition occurring at small nozzle-to-plate distance was the SST k−−-ω model (transitional flow option).

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation on flow structure and heat transfer from a single round jet impinging perpendicularly on a flat plate has been performed, and correlations for heat transfer coefficients have been developed.

TL;DR: An extensive study on morphological parameters of ceramic sponge structures of different material, porosity, and pores per linear inch (ppi) number was performed in this article, where volume image analyses of MRI and X-ray tomography (CT) measurements were carried out to determine experimentally the geometric specific surface area of the structures.
