Lateral cavities are major storage zones in riverine environments for which the mass exchanges with the main stream strongly impact the characteristics of the habitat in these dead zones. An experimental work is presented ...

The simultaneous diffusion of NaCl, lactic acid and water in cheese during brining, were experimentally and theoretically evaluated using multicomponent and pseudobinary mass transport models. The average concentration ...

Conventional and ultrasound assisted extraction of anthocyanins from grape pomace are here analyzed and compared. Mathematical modeling is used firstly to represent the extraction process and determine the associated mass ...

Autogenous shrinkage in concrete is defined as the change of volume after initial setting occurs. It develops at very early ages as a result of chemical shrinkage and self-desiccation effect. These produce significant ...

We show, for the first time, the explicit form of the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) subject to the correct boundary conditions that have to be satisfied by transport coefficients having a vanishing ...
