Sustained tissue compression can lead to pressure ulcers, which can either start
superficially or within deeper tissue layers. The latter type includes deep tissue injury …

The recycling of semisynthetic metalworking fluids (MWFs) using alumina membranes is
significantly impacted by aggregated MWF microemulsions that cause partial and complete …

Microfiltration is an in-process recycling method that shows great potential to extend fluid life
and reduce bacterial concentrations in synthetic and semisynthetic metalworking fluids. The …

Fouling mechanisms and models for flux decline are investigated with a three-dimensional
simulation of the tortuous, verisimilar geometry of an α-alumina microfilter. Reconstruction of …

A three-dimensional fluid dynamic model is developed to predict flux decline due to
membrane fouling during the microfiltration of semisynthetic metalworking fluids. The model …

Recent studies show that interparticle interaction can affect particle trajectories and particle
deposition causing fouling in the microfilters used for metal working fluids (MWFs) …
