Computational Fluid Dynamics plays an important role in industries as it analyzes the results without performing the actual experiments. A model of an external loop airlift photobioreactor with a cross-shaped sparger was developed using FLOTRAN software as per the design. Flow patterns of Anabaena ambigua culture were studied inside external loop airlift photobioreactor for different velocities viz., 1 m/s, 1.5 m/s, 2 m/s, 2.5 m/s, and 3 m/s. The velocity contour plots give information on dead z

The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of edible mushrooms in the community forest of Na Si Nuan sub-district. Twenty-seven species of mushrooms were found, and 24 were edible. Three species were not recorded for eating, and 1 of them was similar to Scleroderma. Mushrooms were identified by their morphology and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA and then categorized into 13 families. Eight and seven species of mushrooms were placed in Russulaceae and Boleta

In this paper, new rheological models for castor oil are proposed. The aim of this study was to find a linear, exponential, and polynomial dependence between shear stress and shear rate of castor oil using tree equation. Equation constants , A, B, and C were determined by fitting linear, exponential, and polynomial. The castor oil has been evaluated using a Haake VT 550 Viscotester developing shear rates in the range of 3-120 s-1 and measuring viscosities from 104-106 mPa·s when the HV1 v

Agrotechnical methods of grain-crop cultivation require chemical substances to protect the plants from dangerous pests and diseases. However, these measures lead to soil deterioration due to the fungicides and pesticides accumulating in the soil. One of the promising and effective techniques to reduce the deterioration and combat pathogens is using growth regulators. The paper presents the results of a study into the effects of the Krezatsin (concentration of 15, 30 and 60 mg/l), Zircon (concent

There are several mathematical models used to describe the rheology of non-Newtonian fluids, but these are not limited to the following models; Power Law, Bingham, Hershel-Buckley, and Casson. Selecting the best rheological model that accurately represents the shear rate analysis with the shear stress is one of the rheology's wishes. Therefore, this study proposes a new rheological model which can be called (Casson-Stanciu) and that it extends the usual Casson expression and accurately repre

Bacterial resistance is the most dangerous and critical problem associated with the use of antibiotics, due to the uncontrolled and miss use of many types of them. Fluoroquinolones are a class of antibacterial agents that possess an anti-inflammatory effect in addition to their antibacterial effect, and they are resisted by many species of microorganisms through different mechanisms. It was found that increase bulkiness at C7 of fluoroquinolones moiety will reduce bacterial resistance by reducin

Horticultural fruits are seasonal and are highly perishable with very low-shelf life. Liquefaction of fruits is one such effective technique. In the vegetable and fruit processing industry, pectinase enzymes are used to separate and clarify the juice. Process variables namely enzyme concentration, time, temperature, and pH affect enzymatic liquefaction of guava fruit pulp. These variables can be studied independently. However, all the variables can be studied at a time and also optimized using t

This article is focused on evaluating the rheological properties of tomato ketchup. The purpose of the paper was to show the importance of knowledge about the rheological properties of ketchup and to find new more adequate equations of the temperature-viscosity dependence. All measurements were performed under the same temperature conditions at approximately 25 °C and shear velocities between 5.46 and 700.41 s-1. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian material, so the apparent viscosity was measured. We
