NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF ROTATING BLADE CENTRIFUGAL JET IN SLURRY BLAST DEVICE USED FOR STEEL STRIP DESCALING

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Investigation of Rotating Blade Centrifugal Jet in Slurry Blast Device Used for Steel Strip Descaling

Under the requirement of clean production, a new type of slurry blast device for mechanically removing oxide scale on the surface navy drapery fabric of steel strips is presented, which can avoid the serious problems of rapid wear, low service life, and low efficiency of the traditional abrasive water jet with a nozzle.In this paper, the numerical

Old Tools, New Ways of Using Them: Harnessing Expert Opinions to Plan for Surprise in Marine Socio-Ecological Systems

With globally accelerating rates of environmental disturbance, coastal marine ecosystems are increasingly prone to non-linear regime shifts that result in a loss of ecosystem function and services.A lack of early-detection methods, and an over reliance on limits-based approaches means that these tipping points manifest as surprises.Consequently, ma
