The rates of water and solute transport tend to be lower in fibrous materials than in bulk solution. This phenomenon of "hindered transport" is caused by steric, hydrodynamic, and electrostatic interactions between the ...

(cont.) The DEM simulation was used to simulate the relative importance of cohesion and friction. For angle of repose simulations, increasing the cohesion increased the final angle in a consistent, linear fashion. Increasing ...

A sustainable economy will depend, if only partly, on efficient renewable-feedstock conversion to chemicals and fuels, and advances in that direction have relied and will continue to rely on strain engineering. Traditional ...
