The future goal is to improve apparatus design and process control so as to homogenize the drying process, to increase energy efficiency and to save product quality.
The Division of Occupational Health, Safety and Medicine of the International Association of Fire Fighters IAFFF) in collaboration with the US Department of Homeland Security has developed Improving Apparatus Response and Roadway Operations Safety in the Career Fire Service, a programme which aims to improve the safety of emergency responders during vehicle and roadway incident operations.
In this paper, the curing time effect of different types of binder and their content on the one-dimensional consolidation characteristics of CPB samples was investigated using an improved lab apparatus called CUAPS (curing under applied pressure system).
To test the actual tensile strength, using the improved triaxial apparatus, Bishop and Garga had ever conducted the triaxial drained tension tests of the London clay [22], showing that under the low confining pressure range, i.e., σ 3 = −21 to −70 kPa, the tensile strength of the London clay is σ 1 = σ tmax = 27 34 kPa, which is much less than the theoretical strength determined by Eq. (19).
Applying this temperature prediction technique and CD prediction model together will contribute to improving etching apparatus design and process development.
The equations for modelling of the photo-catalytic process are identified and used for simulations and analyses to improve the apparatus design and find the best operating conditions.
The early age microstructure evolution was continuously monitored by using a specially improved ultrasonic monitoring apparatus.
Using experience gained from laboratory studies of a fracture's hydromechanical behaviour under normal stress and preliminary developments for studying the effect of acidification under controlled temperature, we built and gradually improved an experimental apparatus so as to provide a percolation cell in a fracture under imposed stress and temperature conditions (Gentier et al. 1998).
Finding the prevailing drops-in-handkerchief method to be too crude, he developed an apparatus that improved both the safety and the effectiveness of chloroform.
