Article Abstract
Centrifugal pumps are being widely used in various industries for moving fluids that carry solids through pipelines where the need of head and flow rate is not high. Slurry erosion and cavitation are an extremely complex and not yet fully understood phenomenon that occur in centrifugal pumps; however, these undesirable phenomena can be reduced to a certain extent. Appropriate design and development of experiments is required to reasonably predict slurry erosion and cavitation. However, CFD methodology complements analytical solutions and experiments whenever testing of equipment has limitations. The current paper highlights the various slurry erosion and cavitation reduction techniques utilized by different researchers. Economic analysis conducted for a case study relevant to centrifugal pump (CP) usage in Pakistan shows that an 8% enhancement in pump efficiency can reduce the life cycle cost to about 17.6%, which could save up to USD 4281 for a single pump annually in Pakistan.

Water quality trading between point and diffuse sources aims to improve waterway health and achieve sustainable management goals for aquatic ecosystems. However, methods are needed to quantitatively compare their ecosystem impacts. Our study used a key measure of ecosystem health, dissolved oxygen (DO) demand, to identify and compare the nutrient and organic carbon parameters in different nutrient sources that have the greatest impact on DO demand.

Objective: To evaluate the protective potential of fluoride toothpaste formulations associated with aminomethacrylate copolymer (AMC) against enamel initial erosion and erosive tooth wear.
Material And Methods: Polished bovine enamel specimens were divided into six groups (n = 13): placebo toothpaste (PL), AMC toothpaste (AMC 4 %), sodium fluoride toothpaste (F, 1450 ppm F), AMC+NaF toothpaste (AMC+F), abrasion negative control (ANC - ultrapure water with abrasion), and erosion negative control- (ENC - ultrapure water without abrasion). Specimens underwent erosive/abrasive cycling, which included 0.

Tooth wear involves three processes. Abrasion is a form of three-body wear produced by abrasive components of slurries contacting the teeth (either food or, in modern Western populations, mainly toothpaste). Attrition is a form of two-body wear through tooth-tooth contact.

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of salivary pellicle modification with polyphenol-rich solutions containing fluoride on enamel erosion and abrasion. Human enamel specimens (n = 14/group) were assigned to five pellicle-modifying groups: GSE+F (grape seed extract +500 ppm F-); CRA+F (cranberry extract +500 ppm F-); NaF (sodium fluoride solution -5 00ppm F-); Sn+F (commercial solution, SnCl2/NaF/AmF); and DW (deionized water, negative control). The specimens were submitted to 5 cycles, each one consisting of pellicle formation (120μl, 30 min, 37°C, no agitation), followed by pellicle modification with the experimental solutions (5 ml, 2 min, 25ºC, 70 rpm), and subsequent salivary pellicle formation (120 μl, 60 min, 37°C, no agitation).
