The use and the improvement of classical mathematical models for heat transfer in particulate systems can facilitate the industrial large-scale application of rotating drums as bioreactors for solid-state cultivation (SSC). ...

The use of Metarhizium anisopliae as a bioinsecticide is steeply increasing worldwide. However, to reduce the production costs, it is necessary to develop sophisticated techniques for conidia production. This work aimed ...

The cutting fluid application is the most usual method for cooling the cutting tool, however it is harmful to the environment and to the human being health, besides it represents a significative part of the production ...

Heat transfer in packed beds is of interest for several industrial applications. This paper presents a historical view of both experimental and modeling developments and the future trends. Heat transmission in such beds ...

In the current paper, a two-phase and two-dimensional model describing heat and water transfer in a packed-bed bioreactor (PBB) for solid-state fermentation (SSF) is proposed. The model considers most of the transport ...

Here we present two-phase flow nonlinear parameter estimation for HFC's flow through capillary tube-suction line heat exchangers, commonly used as expansion devices in small refrigeration systems. The simplifying assumptions ...
