The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of a moving granular bed filter designed for cold test to filter coal particulates. A series of experiments were carried out at room temperature to demonstrate the collection efficiency of this method of filtration technology (i.e., the moving granular bed filter) at different filtration superficial velocities and mass flow rates of filter granules but with a fixed inlet dust concentration. The dynamic characteristics of the filter system were evaluated by measuring variations in the outlet concentration and size distribution of dust particulates. The collection mechanisms of the filter granules in the moving granular bed filter were also studied. Experimental results showed that the collection efficiency could be enhanced by using a filtration superficial velocity of 30 cm/s and mass flow rate of 450 g/min. The results of this study indicate this type of method could be useful for application in different cross-flow filter systems for gas cleanup. The focus in the current study is essentially the development of a moving granular bed filter that could be applied in a high-temperature environment. The results are expected to serve as the basis for future research.

Granular fluids, as defined by a collection of moving solid particles, is a paradigm of a dissipative system out of equilibrium. Inelastic collisions between particles is the source of dissipation, and is the origin of a transition from a gas to a liquidlike state. This transition can be triggered by an increase of the solid fraction.

Background: Among older persons, neighborhood disadvantage is a granular and increasingly used social determinant of health and functional well-being. The frequency of transitions into or out of a disadvantaged neighborhood over time is not known. These transitions may occur when a person moves from one location to another or when the Neighborhood Atlas, the data source for the area deprivation index (ADI) that is used to identify disadvantaged neighborhoods at the census-block level, is updated.

Here, the dynamics of inverse tapered granular chains, which are alignments of beads with progressively increasing radii, are investigated. These chains are subjected to harmonic excitation by a moving wall and probed at the tapered end. Intermediate taperings using Ni-Ti (metal) and Teflon (plastic) granules are considered.

Expanding upon the critical advancements brought forth by single-cell omics in pulmonary hypertension (PH) research, this review delves deep into how these technologies have been piloted in a new era of understanding this complex disease. By leveraging the power of single cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq), researchers can now dissect the complicated cellular ecosystem of the lungs, examining the key players such as endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, pericytes, and immune cells, and their unique roles in the pathogenesis of PH. This more granular view is beyond the limitations of traditional bulk analysis, allowing for the identification of novel therapeutic targets previously obscured in the aggregated data.

This study conducted integrated experiments and computational modeling to investigate the speeds of a developing shock within granular salt and analyzed the effect of various impact velocities up to 245 m/s. Experiments were conducted on table salt utilizing a novel setup with a considerable bore length for the sample, enabling visualization of a moving shock wave. Experimental analysis using particle image velocimetry enabled the characterization of shock velocity and particle velocity histories.
