Although the benefits of pulsating multiphase flows and the concomitant opportunity to intensify heat and mass transfer processes for, e.g., drying, extraction or chemical reactions have been known for some time, the industrial implementation is still limited. This is particularly due to the lack of understanding of basic influencing factors, such as amplitude and frequency of the pulsating flow and the resulting particle dynamics. The pulsation generates oscillation of velocity, pressure, and temperature, intensifying the heat and mass transfer by a factor of up to five compared to stationary gas flow. With the goal of process intensification and targeted control of sub-processes or even the development of completely new processing routes for the formation, drying or conversion of particulate solids in pulsating gas flows as utilized in, e.g., pulse combustion drying or pulse combustion spray pyrolysis, the basic understanding of occurring transport processes is becoming more and more important. In the presented study, the influence of gas-flow conditions and particle properties on particle dynamics as well as particle residence time and the resulting heat and mass transfer in pulsating gas–solid flows are investigated.

A steady-state model of a conventional floating ring bearing is presented, specifically, to assess the feasibility of its use in the power generating industry. It necessitates the numerical solution of the Reynolds and energy equations for both inner and outer lubricant films. Oil recirculation and heat and mass transfer between the films are included. For the application considered, the oil temperatures and eccentricity ratios encountered are not excessive.

Healthy diet is one of the most important elements in maintaining health and strengthening the nation's immunity, an essential condition for achieving active longevity of present and future generations. Inventing new ingredients and creation of food products based on them, development of new and improvement of existing technologies requires reliable information about the basic thermophysical characteristics of raw materials and biological substances to calculate and optimize heat and mass transfer processes during processing and production. Modern science offers a wide range of studies on the thermodynamic and heat and mass transfer process parameters, determination of the thermophysical characteristics of new substances and products using metrologically certified devices and information measuring systems. The main problem in the study of materials of biological origin is their inhomogeneity and sample structure heterogeneity. Measuring the effective thermal conductivity coefficient of bulk materials and cereals should be carried out in a stationary thermal mode on the device for determination of the thermophysical properties of materials and thermal effects, which implements a symmetrical scheme of the thermometric method of measurement using heat flow and temperature sensors. Using four measuring cells allows synchronous comparative analysis of several samples, and the rotary clamping mechanism helps to minimize contact resistance. The developed technique for measuring the coefficient of effective thermal conductivity takes into account the characteristics of bulk food products and significantly increases the accuracy of their thermal conductivity determination by introducing a correction for the contact resistance of the wall layer. The possibility of long-term observations allows to study thermolabile materials, analyze the thermal effects in the samples, to estimate the volumetric and integral heat dissipation. Calorimetric studies of a wide range of biological materials and substances can be performed with sufficient accuracy by the STA system, which implements step-by-step scanning and synchronous thermal analysis methods to determine the specific heat capacity and heat of evaporation, the ratio of free and bound moisture in heterogeneous materials. These characteristics are integral parameters in the study of the kinetics of heat and mass transfer processes, including drying, for the calculation and design of process equipment. Research on the thermophysical characteristics of heterogeneous materials and substances will optimize production processes and further develop technologies in the food, biotechnology, and processing industries.
