<p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="X-NONE">Spray drying is an effective and common method for powder drying, e.g. clay. The morphology and properties of spray dried granules depend on properties of slurry and operational conditions of spray dryer.

Operational conditions: inlet temperature 190-220˚C, outlet temperature 70-96˚C, spray dispersion is obtained using two-fluid nozzle where the slurry feed was varied from 4.5 to 15 ml/min and gas pressure 15-40 mm. Slurry was prepared from clay fraction under 2 µm without additives. Latvian illite clay from Iecava, Pavāri and Laža deposits was studied. Slurries with concentration 1, 8 and 15 mass% was used.The size and morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, surface area and porosity by liquid nitrogen sorption.</span></p><p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="X-NONE">All obtained granules irrespective of </span><span lang="X-NONE">spray dryer settings</span><span lang="X-NONE"> were well-rounded and dense without large pores or holes, however the surface was rough. The mean diameter of granules was in range of 2.6-5.4 µm, depending on slurry feed rate. The surface area of produced granules mostly depended on clay composition and was in a range of 70-92 m2/g. Inlet temperature in a range of 190-220 °C was found to be appropriate to produce well dried clay granules (moisture content &lt;10 wt%).   </span></p>

T. Francis Ogilvie (1972) developed a Green's function method for calculating the wave profile of slender ships with fine bows. He recognized that near a slender ship's bow, rates of change of flow variables axially should be greater than those typically assumed in slender body theory. Ogilvie's result is still a slender body theory in that the rates of change in the near field are different transversely (a half-order different) than axially; however, the difference in order of magnitude between them is less than in the usual slender body theory. Typical of slender body theory, this formulation results in a downstream stepping solution (along the ship's length) in which downstream effects are not reflected upstream. Ogilvie, however, developed a solution only for wedge-shaped bodies. Taravella, Vorus, and Givan (2010) developed a general solution to Ogilvie's formulation for arbitrary slender ships. In this article, the general solution has been expanded for use on moderate to high-speed ships. The wake trench has been accounted for. The results for wave resistance have been calculated and are compared with previously published model test data.

Despite progress in laser-based and computational tools, an accessible model that relies on fundamentals and offers a reasonably accurate estimation of droplet size and velocity is lacking, primarily due to entangled complex breakup mechanisms. Therefore, this study aims at using the integral form of the conservation equations to create a system of equations by solving which, the far-field secondary atomization can be analyzed through predicting droplet size and velocity distributions of the involved phases. To validate the model predictions, experiments are conducted at ambient conditions using water, methanol, and acetone as model fluids with varying formulation properties, such as density, viscosity, and surface tension. Droplet size distribution and velocity are measured with laser diffraction and a high-speed camera, respectively. Finally, an attempt is made to utilize non-scaled parameters to characterize the atomization process, useful for extrapolating the sensitivity analysis to other scales. The merit of this model lies in its simplicity for use in process control and optimization.

This paper presents a novel baseband architecture that supports high-speed wireless VR solutions using 60 GHz RF circuits. Based on the experimental observations by our previous 60 GHz transceiver circuits, the efficient baseband architecture is proposed to enhance the quality of transmission. To achieve a zero-latency transmission, we define an (106,920, 95,040) interleaved-BCH error-correction code (ECC), which removes iterative processing steps in the previous LDPC ECC standardized for the near-field wireless communication. Introducing the block-level interleaving, the proposed baseband processing successfully scatters the existing burst errors to the small-sized component codes, and recovers up to 1080 consecutive bit errors in a data frame of 106,920 bits. To support the high-speed wireless VR system, we also design the massive-parallel BCH encoder and decoder, which is tightly connected to the block-level interleaver and de-interleaver. Including the high-speed analog interfaces for the external devices, the proposed baseband architecture is designed in 65 nm CMOS, supporting a data rate of up to 12.8 Gbps. Experimental results show that the proposed wireless VR solution can transfer up to 4 K high-resolution video streams without using time-consuming compression and decompression, successfully achieving a transfer latency of 1 ms.
