These numerical studies aid in optimising standalone sand screens, which are favoured over gravel-pack completions for cost-effectiveness. However, such studies overlook the critical role of the bulk filter-bed in retaining permeability for both particulate and fluid phases. This paper presents a robust numerical methodology using resolved CFD-DEM to model a sand retention system that accurately captures filter-bed permeability, which has a greater impact on sand production and retained fluid productivity than the screen itself from a long-term perspective. The numerical model's accuracy is validated through a novel experimental methodology, which involves benchmarking the numerically derived porosity and single-phase permeability against micro-CT imaging of the filter-bed. Results show strong consistency between the numerical model and micro-CT imaging of the laboratory-derived filter-bed. This validated model provides a solid foundation for running more accurate sand retention tests and improving standalone sand screen selection criteria. Future work will explore the effects of varying parameters on the filter-bed formation to determine optimal conditions for maximising sand retention while maintaining hydrocarbon productivity from a long-term perspective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":407,"journal":{"name":"Powder Technology","volume":"449 ","pages":"Article 120406"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142653855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the model, particles are represented as ideal spheres in the context of triaxial compression creep simulations for rockfill, with special attention to particle size effects, discreteness, and temporal factors. The combined influence of long-term strength and maximum contact force is crucial in determining the delayed particle breakage. Comparative analysis with indoor triaxial creep tests demonstrates that the Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations accurately model the creep deformation phenomena related to delayed particle breakage in rockfill.

The high amount of agro-industrial waste generated by cork industries is of great interest due to the sustainable and regenerative capabilities of <em>Quercus suber</em> bark. This work aimed to explore the properties of cork powder, a by-product from cork processing, as a putative cosmetic ingredient. This powder was studied regarding the flowability and compressibility envisioning its use in solid water-free formulations, as well as the potential use as a functional ingredient in skin care and sun care formulations. Cork powder revealed a high compressibility and cake strength, which favors the formulation of water-free pressed powders. Poor flowability (Hausner ratio of 1.38 ± 0.01) should be, however, considered in the formulation design. The powder also revealed high oil absorption ability (203.6 ± 1.4 g/100 g) and sun protection factor (SPF) boosting effect, increasing SPF twofold when compared to a standard formulation. Ultimately, the safety profile of the cork powder was confirmed in cells representative of the human epidermis up to 50 mg/mL. Limitations of this product are associated with being a natural product, namely a high microbiological burden. This issue, along with stability and reproducibility should be addressed before considering industrial application. Cork powder showed a multifunctional profile, supporting its use as a sustainable stiffening ingredient agent of solid/water-free decorative cosmetics, or as a mattifying and photoprotective agent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":407,"journal":{"name":"Powder Technology","volume":"449 ","pages":"Article 120396"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the deposition mechanisms of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) in different regions of the airway is crucial for inhaler development and prediction of the deposition distribution of drug particles. And the insertion of the inhaler will significantly alter the pattern of airflow in the airway. The main objective of this study is to systematically investigate the distribution and mechanism of aerosol particle deposition in various regions of the inhaler-airway model. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the effect of inhalation flow rate on the deposition of drug particles in various regions of the airway. The discrete phase model (DPM) was adopted to track the deposition trajectories of drug particles. Three different inhalation flow rates together with six particle sizes and five particle densities were analyzed. The results indicated that the overall deposition fraction of drug particles gradually increased with particle size and density. The pattern of depositional distribution in other local areas is quite different from the overall pattern except in the oral. The deposition fraction in the pharynx was much larger than in the other local regions, the deposition fractions in the larynx, trachea, carina and bronchi were less than 5 %. The increase in density increases the deposition fraction of particles in various regions throughout the respiratory tract when the inhalation flow rate is 30 L/min. Most of the particles in the oral are deposited on the tongue, and the particles in the bronchus are more distributed in the main trunk, while deeper in the bronchus, particles are also deposited in the bifurcation region. The subject's inhalation posture also affects the local distribution of the airflow.

However, continuous nebulization has been perceived as highly expensive and labor-intensive, which often requires specialized medical equipment. Moreover, it is difficult to maintain consistent aerosol output and particle size delivery over an extended period without operator intervention. This work proposes a simple and reliable continuous nebulization method using a conventional gas jet nebulizer and intravenous (IV) bottle/bag. The present work reports detailed experimental studies on a gas jet nebulizer with Particle image velocimetry (PIV), Particle/droplet Imaging Analysis (PDIA), and Mie scattering techniques to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed technique. The preliminary investigation shows that the proposed method provides continuous liquid output delivery without external supervision. The liquid delivery rate and mass median diameter (MMD) of the nebulizer mainly depend on the gas flow rate and suction height. The MMD of the primary generated droplets is reported to vary between 100 and 230 μm for a ± 10 cm suction height and 500–1000 mlph nebulization gas flow rate. Most importantly, the nebulizer spray angle, stability, droplet size distribution, and the axial and radial velocities of the droplets are marginally affected by the suction height. Therefore, the proposed system is a versatile, safe, and cost-effective method of continuous nebulization therapy, especially in resource-poor countries or contagious disease outbreak situations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":407,"journal":{"name":"Powder Technology","volume":"449 ","pages":"Article 120398"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensitive nature of biological products requires comprehensive optimisation of these new methods against the various degradative stresses imposed by drying. Process control and optimisation is key in minimizing many of these stresses, allowing production of dried powders with pre-determined characteristics (e.g. particle morphology, size and density).

However, level gauges of the ash hopper currently in use have various problems. Laser-ranging technology is characterized by concentrated energy, a small divergence angle, and the ability to penetrate dust. We have proposed a new material-level measurement method based on the dot matrix laser ranging principle.
