    Numerical simulation of granular flow during filling and discharging of a silo
    (2010-12-10) W. Chuayjan; S. Pothiphan; B. Wiwatanapataphee; Y. H. Wu; Mahidol University; Curtin University
    In this study, we simulate the static and dynamic processes of granular flow during filling and discharging of a vertical-sided silo with conical hopper bottom. The granular material is an assembly of 7,500 soybeans. Based on the discrete element... method, the governing equations for the granular flow are solved by the centred finite difference scheme. The effects of inlet flow rate and bottom angles on pressure distribution on the hopper wall throughout the static process of material filling

    The paper aims to present mathematical model and numerical simulation of a granular material flow during a silo discharge process. The material flow in the silo is a form of two-phase flow consisting of particulates and an interstitial fluid... and 0.12 m are chosen for this investigation. The results show that the mathematical model can capture the granular material flow in the silo. The bottom design has significant effect on the velocity, pressure and shear rate in the granular material

    Preparation and characterization of enzymatically-treated granular cassava starch and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blends
    (2012-01-01) Kamol Maikrang; Klanarong Sriroth; Kunruedee Sangseethong; Amnat Jarerat; Mahidol University; Kasetsart University
    Raw cassava starch was treated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase in aqueous solution under annealing condition to obtain starch granules with rough and porous surfaces. Many different pits and pores formed by the activity of the enzymes on the surface granules and were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained starch granules with rough surfaces were mechanically blended with poly(butylenes adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) at different ratios by using a single screw extruder. The results showed that the samples comprised of enzymatically treated starch blends had higher elongation than those comprised of untreated starch blends. At 10% starch content, the treated starch/PBAT blend had about 37.55% more elongation than the untreated starch/PBAT blend. This resulted in the improved compatibility of the starch granules and PBAT matrix in the blends as confirmed by SEM. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    Diagnostic value of IgM deposition at the dermo-epidermal junction
    (1998-03-01) Kanokvalai Kulthanan; Sumruay Pinkaew; Puan Suthipinittharm; Mahidol University
    Background Granular immunoglobulin M (IgM) deposits at the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) are common in lupus erythematosus (LE); however, weak, interrupted, linear and granular patterns of IgM at the DEJ have been reported in sun-exposed skin... in normal adults and in a heterogeneous group of diseases. Materials and methods We analyzed 200 patients with positive IgM direct tissue immunofluorescence deposition at the DEJ, alone or in combination with other immunoreactants, in order to determine

    . The mitochondria showed irregularities in sizes and shapes but did not attenuate as much as previously reported. The vacuoles that were observed by light microscopy in physaliferous cells were both extra‐cellular and intra‐cellular and contained finely granular... material of acid mucopolysaccharides probably of chondroitin type. The presence of both subplasmalemmal linear densities (SLD) and pinocytic vesicles was consistent with the histogenetic conviction that the tumor arose from mesodermal derivatives. Copyright
