Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is extensively used in industrial burners and marine engines. HFO droplet combustion gives rise to carbon particulates generated by pyrolysis, which are called cenospheres. There is a current hypothesis ...

Liquid bridges, formed between two solid surfaces in close proximity are encountered in a variety of engineering and daily life applications. The dynamics of a liquid bridge including its evolution that typically involves ...

A sessile droplet forms a fundamental building block in analyzing particle distribution and deposition in both industrial applications and lab on a chip research such as inkjet printing, surface patterning, photonic crystals, ...

Spray combustion of liquid fuels is one of the most ubiquitous modes of combustion used in a wide range of applications ranging from IC engines for transportation to Gas turbines in propulsion systems, owing to the high ...

Particle-laden flows are ubiquitous in nature and industries. For example, water droplets in clouds, fine dust particles in strong winds leading to dusty storms, dunes, ejection of solid particles and ash during volcanic ...

In this thesis, based on generalized porous flow model, we present a one-domain framework for the simulation of incompressible flow in superposed clear and porous media. The continuous change in the characteristics of the ...

Secondary atomisation refers to the process by which liquid droplets, which are already in a dispersed state, are further atomised down into smaller droplets. This process occurs after primary atomisation, which is the ...

Food wastage poses a significant threat to the nation’s food supply and safety due to inadequate storage infrastructure and logistics facilities. This study explores the potential of spray drying as a viable solution to ...
