Wu, Y. (author), Liu, Daoyin (author), van Wachem, Berend G.M. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)Nanoparticles are usually fluidized as agglomerates, which are in dynamic states of agglomeration and fragmentation. It is critical to consider the size distribution of agglomerates in modeling of the fluidization of nanoparticle agglomerates. In this article, the fluidization behavior of nanoparticle agglomerates is investigated using a two...journal article 2024

Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024
