Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFocusing of the Flow Capture for Local Exhaust Ventilation SystemsS. Y. Spotar, A. L. SorokinProblem statement: The extraction hoods commonly used as inlet element of the local ventilation systems exhibit limited emission capture over moderate distances from the source of the hazardous emissions. Proposed inclusion of a swirling peripheral jet was found to increase the effective length over which the extraction hood successfully captures harmful fumes. However information on a detailed pattern field of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCoating and Encapsulation of Nanoparticles using Supercritical AntisolventG. H. Chong, R. Yunus, N. Abdullah et al.Problem statement: Literature on the production of nanoparticles using supercritical fluids is substantial, but comparatively much less for nanoencapsulation. Approach: In this study, a modified Supercritical Anti Solvent (SAS) apparatus was fabricated for use in the production of nanoparticles using carbon dioxide as the supercritical fluid (SCF). SAS technique involves precipitation of solids from liquid solution under supercritical antisolvent-induced condition. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,422 accessesView PDFCite
