Transient Behavior of Crossflow Heat Exchangers With Longitudinal Conduction and Axial Dispersion

TL;DR: In this article, the transient temperature response of crossflow heat exchangers with finite wall capacitance and both fluids unmixed is investigated numerically for step, ramp and exponential perturbations provided in hot fluid inlet temperature.

The utilization of mixed sugars in continuous fermentation. I.

TL;DR: Once the enzymes required for lactose utilization had been induced, this ability to use lactose was retained, even in the absence of lactose, for very long periods of time under continuous conditions.

Validating a prediction method of mean residence time spatial distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method was used to obtain theoretical predictions of residence time spatial distributions and was validated by comparing with experiments, and the result obtained is a spatial distribution of the local mean age of the fluid which may be displayed as isocontours in the space domain considered.

Residence time distribution of food suspensions containing large particles when flowing in tubular systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of concentrated aqueous suspensions containing cube-shaped particles (with edges of I cm) in tube flow has been investigated and both the liquid and the solid phase residence time distributions were measured.

Effects of internal mass transfer and product inhibition on a simulated immobilized enzyme-catalyzed reactor for lactose hydrolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a general mathematical model has been developed for predicting the performance and simulation of a packed-bed immobilized enzyme reactor performing lactose hydrolysis, which follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive product (galactose) inhibition.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
