Sensitivity Analysis of CPP’s for Solvent Removal Process of a API-Protein Bonded Nano-Suspension

C. C. Huang [1], T. Liu [1], F. Faassen [1],
[1] Teva Pharmachemie B.V., Haarlem, The Netherlands

Solvent extraction and evaporation is a widely used unit operation in the manufacturing of micro and nano-particles. Due to the weak bond of the API to the protein, the product is highly sensitive to temperature, mechanical mixing and extraction/evaporation rate. A slow extraction ... Read More

Biologic Tissues Properties Deduction Using an Opto-Mechanical Model of the Human Eye

A. V. Maurer [1], D. P. Enfrun [1], C. O. Zuber [1], R. Rozsnyo [2],
[1] R&D, Kejako, Plan-les-ouates, GE, Switzerland
[2] MNCM, HES-SO, GE, Switzerland

The visual accommodation is a complex biomechanical & optical process. Today in vivo imaging technologies do not allow to measure the eye components material properties, such as the refractive index or the stiffness: these properties are essential to understand and diagnose the ... Read More

Coupled Heat, Moisture and CFD Modeling in the Built Environment

K. Kompatscher [1], S. Kochen [1], A. M. W. van Schijndel [1], H. L. Schellen [1]
[1] Department of the Built Environment, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Museum buildings strive for a stable indoor climate to reduce the risk of cultural object degradation. An incorrect temperature or relative humidity can induce or accelerate deterioration processes such as biological, chemical or mechanical degradation. In order to reduce these risks, ... Read More

Simulation of Slag/Gas and Slag/Iron Interface Tilting in Blast Furnace Hearth During Slag Tapping

Y. Kaymak [1], T. Hauck [1], R. Lin [2] , H. Rausch [2]
[1] VDEh Betriebsforschungsinstitute GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany
[2] AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke, Dillingen, Germany

The blast furnace hearth drainage constitutes a major part of the blast furnace operation. Especially, keeping track of the iron and slag levels is crucial to adapt the tapping strategy. The operational target is usually not only to empty the blast furnace as far as possible but also to ... Read More

Phase Transformation and Deformation Model for Quenching Simulations

Y. Kaymak [1],
[1] VDEh Betriebsforschungsinstitute GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany

Heat treatment of the advanced steel grades (like micro-alloyed steels or AHSS steel grades) is a challenging process as the residual stress/deformation are very pronounced and the customer quality requirements are getting stricter. Instead of a trial and error based process control, a ... Read More

The APP as a Tool, A First Principles Approach

R. W. Pryor[1],
[1] Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA

The app discussed in this paper is based on a COMSOL Multiphysics® 1D heat transfer model that analyses the heat flow through a double pane window, with a gas chamber between the two panes, as would normally be mounted in the wall of a building, a container or a refrigerated chamber. The ... Read More
