Simulation of mixed flow characteristics of distiller′s grains-wastewater for anaerobic fermentation by Beibei YAN, Xiaoyun LIU, Shengquan ZHOU, Guanyi CHEN, Ziqiang ZHANG, Yonggang ZHANG

“…The simulation results showed that the slurry inside the curved blade at the top of the rotor reached a maximum velocity of 48.06 m/s and gradually decreased to zero along the radial direction. Due to the rotor's high-speed rotation, a high-pressure zone and a low-pressure zone were formed on each side of the rotor, with a maximum working pressure of 0.306 MPa. …”

A Review on the Friction Stir Brazing for Joining Dissimilar Materials by Akeel Dhahir Subhi

“…Sound interfacial bonding can be observed in the central zone of FSBed joints, where intermetallic compounds (IMCs) can be formed by direct diffusion among the dissimilar workpieces after extrusion of liquid phase rather than by mechanical mixing or solidification of braze material. Increasing the transverse speed at a constant rotational speed has an influence on the peak temperature, but it remarkably reduces the holding time owing to the increased cooling rate. …”
