Combustible dust: what you need to know

by editorial in Engineering, Engineering News

Koen Oostvogels provides an introduction to combustible dust The airborne dust created by many manufacturing facilities that generate, handle, transport, process or store materials that cause or become combustible dust is no mere housekeeping problem. Once those particles have settled in difficult-to-reach places throughout a site, any subsequent disturbance can produce a potentially explosive dust […]

Thin and flexible sensor improves efficiency of industrial-scale fluid machinery

by editorial in Engineering, Engineering News

Inefficient fluid machinery used in the energy and transportation sector has been linked with high greenhouse gas emissions. To improve efficiency, it is necessary to characterise and reduce flow separation on curved surfaces. To this end, researchers from Japan have now developed a flexible, thin film microelectromechanical system-based airflow sensor that can be utilised to measure complex, […]
