Changes in microbial and physicochemical properties during free-cell and encapsulated probiotic fermentation of red dragon fruit juice by Ong, Yien Yien

“…A minimum of 1% (v/v) probiotic can be inoculated into the juice to product the same amount of cell increment. The cell increment after fermentation can be further improved to 5 log cfu/mL by adding 1% (w/v) FOS into red dragon fruit juice. …”

Large eddy simulations of flow over solid circular cylinders and rectangular blocks by Lim, Yong Xiang

“…The aim of the current work was to investigate the influence of various parameters by conducting three dimensional numerical simulations for flow across a circular cylinder. By obtaining the drag and lift coefficients, the effect of different Reynolds number and number of cells would be compared. …”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”
