Turbulent flow around single concentric long capsule in a pipe

A numerical solution was developed for the equations governing the turbulent flow around single concentric long capsule in a pipe. First, a turbulence model was established for the concentric annulus between the capsule and the pipe to simulate the flow as axi-symmetric, two dimensional, steady flow without edge effect. Second, the same case was considered taking into account the edge effect. Finally, turbulence modelling was established to simulate the case as a three dimensional steady flow, with a view of investigating the validity of axi-symmetric flow assumption. Three different turbulence models were used: an algebraic model (Baldwin–Lomax model) and two types of two-equation models (k–ε and k–ω). Obtained results of pressure gradient along the capsule were compared with available experimental data to verify the used models. In addition, experimental data of the velocity profiles of other investigators were also used in this concern. The results predicted by the three different turbulence models were shown to agree well with the experimental data, though precision differed from one to another.     

Preparation and characterization of NaCS-CMC/PDMDAAC capsules

A novel capsule system composed of sodium cellulose sulfate (NaCS), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and poly[dimethyl(diallyl)ammonium chloride] (PDMDAAC) was prepared for improving the properties of NaCS/PDMDAAC capsules. The process parameters, such as CMC concentration (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 g/L), NaCS concentration (20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 g/L), PDMDAAC concentration (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 g/L), reaction time and temperature were investigated to understand their effects on the diameter, membrane thickness and mechanical strength of capsules. The optimum operation conditions for preparing NaCS–CMC/PDMDAAC capsules were determined as 6–8 g/L CMC, 35–40 g/L NaCS, 60 g/L PDMDAAC and polymerization for 30–40 min. Diffusion of substances with low molecular weight into capsules was investigated, and diffusion coefficients were calculated according to the developed model. The yeast of Candida krusei was chosen as representative cell to evaluate the effects of different cell loading on capsule mechanical strength. Meanwhile the encapsulated osmophilic C. krusei cells were cultured in 250 mL shaking flasks for 72 h to determine the cell leaking properties in short and long term.     

Shape Measurement from Endoscopic Images: Determination of Dimensional Scale Factor by a Photometric Method

We propose a new method to measure surface topography using a monocular endoscope. The surface structure is obtained up to a scale factor from an image sequence taken through a conventional CCD endoscope. The scale factor is determined by a photometric method, and the actual size of the object can be determined. The principle and experimental results are presented.
