The seed of most agricultural crops is commonly treated with pesticides before sowing to protect the germinating seed and emerging seedling from pests and diseases. Seed treatment is a very focused chemical crop protection method, since the pesticide is applied directly onto the target, as opposed to spray treatment of the whole field and granule treatment in the furrows. Consequently, the application rates per hectare of seed treatments are ...
In order to define the fire safety requirements applicable to the Organization’s research facilities, CERN needs to assess the risks relating to fire in general and to the release of radioactive substances as a consequence of fire in particular. In the absence of detailed knowledge of those risks, the worst-case approach has been used until now. Such an approach may lead to the implementation of overly expensive, conservative mitigation ...
The general aim of this dissertation is to study the flow, heat and mass transfer, kinetics, and thermodynamics of thermal waste processing using a numerical approach. More specifically, this thesis seeks to provide tools that assist engineers of Waste to energy (WtE) plants in determining optimal operation in terms of burnout and energy recovery with a minimum risk of corrosion. To this end, two specific objectives are defined. The primary ...
Slow pyrolysis is a biomass conversion process in which biomass is converted into char with the aim of improcing its solid fuel properties, of to serve in new applications such as biochar (soil amendment). in this project, a CFD reactor model will be developed to simulate these slow pyrolysis processes, as carried out in a screw reactor. Amultistage approach is followed in which, first a single particle pyrolysis model is developed. next, the ...
The aim of orchard spraying is to accurately place the correct amount of plant protection products on the intended target. However, due to wind a significant amount of spray may move beyond the target canopy and cause environmental pollution. Optimizing the orchard spraying process involves a continuous balance between maximizing biological efficacy, and minimizing environmental pollution and residues. We have recently developed a ...
