Fluid Mechanics of Mixing Modelling, Operations and Experimental Techniques


Free Download Fluid Mechanics of Mixing: Modelling, Operations and Experimental Techniques by R. King
English | PDF | 1992 | 261 Pages | ISBN : 0792317203 | 32.4 MB
This volume is a selection of the material presented at the 7th European Mixing Congress. It is concerned exclusively with mixing in circular section vessels, using centrally mounted paddles or similar impellers. The contents are arranged under three classifications: Modelling of Mixing Processes, Mixing Operations and Experimental Techniques. The classifications result in the original material appearing in a different order to that of the Congress. This arrangement is intended to assist the reader in identifying the topic area by function or application, rather than by technology. In this book the section on Modelling contains papers which focus on the representation of the mixing process, whether by equation, scale-up criteria, or fluid dynamic simulation. Similarly, Mixing Operations are concerned with the application or function of the mixing process, such as mass transfer, heat transfer or mixing time. Experimental Techniques addresses the tools the researcher needs to use at the data gathering experimental stage. It collects together advances made in the various methods used by some of the foremost researchers, and indicates those areas still in need of additional instrumentation or methods of data reduction. The book is intended for researchers, designers and users of mixing equipment, and for those planning research and development programmes and who wish to keep up to date with advances in the basic technology and its applications.

Coarse-Grained Modelling of DNA and DNA Self-Assembly


Free Download Coarse-Grained Modelling of DNA and DNA Self-Assembly by Thomas E. Ouldridge
English | PDF | 2012 | 180 Pages | ISBN : 3642305164 | 4.1 MB
This thesis presents a novel coarse-grained model of DNA, in which bases are represented as rigid nucleotides. The model is shown to quantitatively reproduce many phenomena, including elastic properties of the double-stranded state, hairpin formation in single strands and hybridization of pairs of strands to form duplexes, the first time such a wide range of properties has been captured by a coarse-grained model. The scope and potential of the model is demonstrated by simulating DNA tweezers, an iconic nanodevice, and a two-footed DNA walker – the first time that coarse-grained modelling has been applied to dynamic DNA nanotechnology.
