Modern medicine relies on a small number of key biologics, which can be found in nature
but require further characterization and purification before they can be used. Since the …

Optimal control over fast chemical processes hinges on the achievement of rapid and
effective mixing. Im**ing jet mixers are a unique class of passive mixing devices …

High pressure homogenization (HPH) is considered as a promising method for improving
the ideal metabolic reaction of starch-based foods in the body, but there is still no …

Understanding how the design of high-pressure homogenizer valves influence pressure
losses in the device is of general interest for performance optimizing, and of special …

This study uses an experimental scale-up model together with a high-speed camera setup to
quantitatively study the effect of Weber number on the breakup probability, deformation time …

In many liquid food processing applications using high-pressure homogenizers (HPHs),
particles impact with the solid surfaces of the homogenization device. This may lead to costly …

This study uses a model-based design approach (CFD coupled to well-established
emulsification correlations) to investigate how to choose the valve dimensions of a high …

The expanding demand for paper production has significantly contributed to the global
economy, but it also presents substantial environmental challenges due to the diverse waste …

Traditionally, the pharmaceutical industry relied on resource-intensive and empirical
methods for process development, optimization, and control. Heuristic approaches to …

Emulsification devices break drops by rapidly pushing them through a region of intense
turbulence–a 'turbulent pulse'. These devices are widely used in chemical engineering …
