Data from wall friction testing and physical property characterization of over 100 pharmaceutical powders, blends, and granulations have been analyzed. The analyses focused on data for stainless steel surfaces with the most common finishes for pharmaceutical powder processing equipment, either a 2B cold rolled mill finish or an electropolished 2B surface. Active pharmaceutical ingredients exhibited the highest friction against these surfaces, whereas active granulations exhibited the least friction. The typical (median) wall friction angle for an active blend on 2B stainless steel was 22° versus 18° for an active granulation. Typical wall friction values on electropolished 2B surfaces were about 17° and 12° for active blends and granulations, respectively. Blends typically exhibited larger wall friction angles than the granulations suggesting that simple blends will usually require hoppers or bins with steeper walls to achieve mass flow. Lower wall friction angles were consistently observed against the smoother electropolished 2B surface, and, thus, the wall surface finish should be considered when designing bins and hoppers for use with pharmaceutical powders. The wall friction angles of blends and granulations did not show any definite trend as the percentage of active pharmaceutical ingredient increased.

The current investigation explores tri-hybrid mediated blood flow through a ciliary annular model, designed to emulate an endoscopic environment. The human circulatory system, driven by the metachronal ciliary waves, is examined in this study to understand how ternary nanoparticles influence wave-like flow dynamics in the presence of interfacial nanolayers. We also analyze the effect of an induced magnetic field on Ag-Cu-/blood flow within the annulus, focusing on thermal radiation, heat sources, buoyancy forces and ciliary motion.

In trenchless pipe jacking engineering practice, the formation of high-quality slurry jacket on the outer wall of pipe section is the key to effectively reducing the pipe-soil frictional resistance, improving the construction efficiency, reducing the construction risk and ensuring the construction safety. Herein, the multifunctional experimental apparatus for the pipe-soil frictional resistance testing is improved to ensure the smooth implementation of the subsequent experimental research. The influences of the structural parameters of grouting holes in circular and rectangular pipe sections on the pipe-soil frictional resistance and the states of slurry jackets around the various pipe sections are investigated respectively based on orthogonal experiment.

The longitudinal motion and the intramural shear strain of the arterial wall increase dramatically in response to blood pressure, thereby impacting the vascular wall microenvironment. Exposure to a sedentary lifestyle has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but it has been shown that intermittent physical activity embedded into everyday life is enough to improve cardiovascular health. Marked changes in longitudinal motion already at low workload may explain this finding.

This study systematically explores the sources and influencing factors of resistance encountered by magnetic flux leakage (MFL) detectors in natural gas pipelines through a theoretical analysis, experimental investigation, and numerical simulation. The research methodology involves the development of a fluid-structure interaction model using ABAQUS 2023 finite element software, complemented by the design and implementation of a pull-testing platform for MFL detectors. This platform simulates detector operation under various interference conditions and quantifies the resulting frictional resistance.
