Data on pressure drop were obtained in stainless steel, sanitary fittings and valves during laminar and turbulent flow of aqueous suspensions of sucrose and bentonite. The rheological properties of these suspensions were ...

Several works on friction coefficient during abrasive wear tests are available in the literature, but only a few were dedicated to the friction coefficient in micro-abrasive wear tests conducted with rotating ball. This ...

Friction loss coefficients for laminar flow of xantan gum solutions (concentrations in the range of 0.1-0.5% by weight) through valves and fittings were experimentally determined. The rheological behavior, studied by means ...

The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the micro-abrasive wear modes on the behaviors of the volume of wear (V) and on the coefficient of friction (µ) of thin films. Experiments were conducted with thin films ...

The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the normal force (N), abrasive slurry concentration (C) and abrasive wear modes on the coefficient of friction in ball-cratering wear tests. Experiments were conducted ...

Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is a relatively low-cost agricultural resource, produced mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the planet. One of the most important applications of sugarcane juice is in the production ...
