In-line powder flow behaviour measured using electrostatic technology
Within solid-dose manufacturing processes, powder flow and powder triboelectrification are critical to the quality of the final product. Off-line testers do not simulate the shear and packing conditions that a powder would experience in-process and may be unreliable in predicting in-line flow and …

Bragg grating sensor interrogation using in-line, dual-mode fiber demodulators
Optical fiber Bragg gratings, first demonstrated by Hill in 1978 [1], will see increasing deployment as sensors in smart structure applications due to their minimal insertion loss and small profile. Bragg grating sensors provide narrowband reflections from a periodic index discontinuity. Strain and …

Continuous biodiesel process using ultrasonic in-line reactor for Jatropha Curcas Oil (JCO)
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for replacing diesel fuel in compression ignition engines. Due to the complexity of the diesel fuel production and exhaust emissions from petroleum-fuelled engines will give negative impact to the environment. In this study, the sodium hydroxide as the catalyst was …

Transitions in Line Bitangency Submanifolds for a One-Parameter Family of Immersion Pairs
… two immersed surfaces M and N. A pair of points (p,q) in M x N is called a line bitangency if there is a common tangent line between them. Furthermore, we define the line bitangency submanifold as the union of all such pairs of points in M x N. In this thesis we investigate the dynamics of …
