The twin-screw pump is designed for pumping highly viscous materials in the food industry. Rheological characteristics of materials are important in the specification of design parameters of screw pumps. Analysis of flow in the twin-screw pumps with definition of non-newtonian materials can be made by numerical modelling. CFD generally oriented software ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow has been used for modelling. In this study those software’s (ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow) were defined for solution of flow in the twin-screw pumps. Results were compared for the same boundary conditions on the inlet and outlet of the 3D model. For definition of the viscosity were used the Nonnewtonian power law. Parameters as consistency coefficient and flow exponent for Nonnewtonian power law were analysed by software ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow. Postprocessing form ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow were made by contours of field and by graphs.

Abstract The modification of castor oil (CO) with lignin was the focus of this research to create a lubricating medium with improved gel-like properties. Namely, an alkali lignin (L) was epoxidized with epichlorohydrin (EP) and the resulting LEPs were dispersed in CO. The parameters of LEP synthesis were varied and the epoxidation index (EPI) of the LEPs was determined. The LEPs were also submitted to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Rheological responses of the LEP/CO dispersions were investigated through small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) tests. Linear viscoelasticity functions are quantitatively affected by the epoxidation parameters, such as temperature, reaction time and L/EP and L/NaOH ratios. In general, lignins with higher EPI show higher values of the SAOS functions, which are indicative of better gel-strength due to a higher cross-linking density between the LEPs and CO. A power-law equation describes well the evolution of the complex modulus, G*, with frequency of gel-like dispersions, where the power-law parameters were found to increase almost linearly with the EPI. The thermo-rheological characterization provides a softening temperature beyond 50°C.

The importance of aggregate characteristics has been emphasized in the Superpave® asphalt mixture design procedure. However, criteria for guidelines for the selection of suitable aggregate gradations–-other than gradation limits for different nominal maximum size aggregate blends, including the restricted zone–-have been neglected. With the move toward mechanistic–empirical pavement design, the dynamic modulus is used to account for mixture properties in the pavement design. It is of significant importance to mix designers to possess a framework for determining how to optimize a mixture for ensuring an adequate dynamic modulus. This paper presents the results from a study of the effects of gradation characteristics on the dynamic modulus. Power law–based gradation factors are obtained for 13 aggregate gradations (coarse and fine graded) composed of limestone and granite aggregates. These gradation factors were used to identify and evaluate relationships between gradation factors and the dynamic modulus at higher temperature (40°C). Subsequently, a tentative framework was established for optimizing mixture gradations for dynamic modulus values. Findings illustrate that gradation factors based on power law parameters can be used to optimize mixture gradations for key mixture properties, such as the dynamic modulus. Results also demonstrate the critical nature of aggregate gradation in achieving desired mixture properties.

AbstractIn this paper we study several natural and man-made complex phenomena in the perspective of dynamical systems. For each class of phenomena, the system outputs are time-series records obtained in identical conditions. The time-series are viewed as manifestations of the system behavior and are processed for analyzing the system dynamics. First, we use the Fourier transform to process the data and we approximate the amplitude spectra by means of power law functions. We interpret the power law parameters as a phenomenological signature of the system dynamics. Second, we adopt the techniques of non-hierarchical clustering and multidimensional scaling to visualize hidden relationships between the complex phenomena. Third, we propose a vector field based analogy to interpret the patterns unveiled by the PL parameters.

Podosphaera Macularis

The incidence of hop powdery mildew on leaves, caused by Podosphaera macularis, collected from 1,606 transects in 77 commercial hop yards in Oregon and Washington over 9 years was used to assess variability in heterogeneity of disease and the estimated binary power law parameters. Spatial analyses of data sets were conducted at the level of individual rows (row level) and multiple rows within a yard (yard level). The binary power law provided a good fit to all data sets, with R2 values ranging from 0.933 to 0.993. At the row level, the intercept parameter ln(Ax) was >0 for 8 years, but was not significantly greater than 0 in 2006. The parameter b was greater than 1 for all row-level data sets collected from 1999 to 2005, but was <1 in 2006 and not significantly different from 1 in 2007. Covariance analysis indicated the factor ‘region’ affected ln(Ax) in 3 years, and b in 2 years. ‘Cultivar’ had an effect on ln(Ax) in 3 years and b in year. At the yard level, ln(Ax) was greater than 0 for 6 years, but in 2006 and 2007, ln(Ax) was not significantly different from 0. The slope parameter b was greater than 1 in 6 years, but was not significantly different from 1 in 2006 and 2007. Differences in b among years were large enough to have practical implications for sample sizes and precision of fixed and sequential sampling. Although the binary power law parameter tended to be relatively stable, variability of the estimated parameters may have practical consequences for sampling precision and costs.
