We develop a hydrodynamic formulation of fractional fluctuations in a viscoelastic liquid whose longitudinal modulus is a scalar and only depends on time. The method is based on the introduction of fractional time derivatives in the hydrodynamic equations due to the viscoelastic memory. Coupled...

Energy conservation is a central concern of the current industrial world, where increasing efficient energy usage is the only way of reducing a high energy demand. In the present study the optimization of a pulp and paper mill with a cogeneration plant has been carried out. The optimization was...

We use a fluctuating hydrodynamic approach to calculate the orientation fluctuations correlation functions of a thermotropic nematic liquid crystal in a nonequilibrium state induced by a stationary heat flux. Since in this nonequilibrium stationary state the hydrodynamic fluctuations evolve on...

The occurrence of swarms of small bubbles in a variety of industrial systems enhances their performance. However, the effects that size polydispersity may produce on the stability of kinematic waves, the gain factor, mean bubble velocity, kinematic and dynamic wave velocities is, to our...
