TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic model of drying of thin layer material (Biot numbers for both heat and mass transfer are small) using a reaction engineering approach is described, which considers drying as a competitive process between evaporation reaction and condensation reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple ultrawideband (UWB) printed quasi-self-complementary antenna is presented, which is fed by a microstrip line and has been demonstrated to provide an ultra-rawide 10-dB impedance bandwidth with satisfactory radiation properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a microfiltration membrane was compared with an ultra-filtering membrane in terms of fouling and cleaning characteristics using a cross flow membrane rig and Atomic Force Microscopy was employed to explore the fouling phenomena.

TL;DR: In this paper, the plasmon mode in a silver nanowire is theoretically studied when the nanowires is placed on or near a silica substrate, and it is found that the substrate has much influence on the PLASM mode.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new drying model, REA model, for milk particles has been implemented for the first time in a CFD application, and numerical results match well with the plant data, and it is argued that the reflecting wall boundary condition produced more physically correct results for normal dryer operation than the "escaping wall" boundary condition.
