Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 56, 359-369. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlp.2018.09.00

Spontaneous combustion of Indian coals was investigated using spontaneous combustion rig at University of Nottingham, UK to assess their susceptibility. In the present study authors have used eleven coal samples collected from the Jharia coalfield (J...

Development of a petrographic technique to assess the spontaneous combustion susceptibility of Indian coals (2017)
Journal Article
Mohalik, N., Lester, E., & Lowndes, I. (in press). Development of a petrographic technique to assess the spontaneous combustion susceptibility of Indian coals. International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization, https://doi.org/10.1080/19392699.2017.1360874

Petrographic studies are commonly used categorise the potential utilisation of coals. Eleven coal samples from the jharia coalfield (JCF), india, were studied using petrographic techniques to investigate maceral content, reflectance, and textural cha...

Flows of granular material in two-dimensional channels (2015)
Journal Article
Bain, O., Billingham, J., Houston, P., & Lowndes, I. (2015). Flows of granular material in two-dimensional channels. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-015-9810-1

Secondary cone-type crushing machines are an important part of the aggregate production process. These devices process roughly crushed material into aggregate of greater consistency and homogeneity. We apply a continuum model for granular materials (... Read More about Flows of granular material in two-dimensional channels.

Comparison of experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies of slug flow in a vertical riser (2015)
Journal Article
Abdulkadir, M., Hernandez-Perez, V., Lo, S., Lowndes, I., & Azzopardi, B. J. (in press). Comparison of experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies of slug flow in a vertical riser. Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2015.06.004

This paper presents a comparison of the results obtained from experiments and CFD studies of slug flow in a vertical riser. A series of two experimental investigations were carried out on a 6 m vertical pipe with a 0.067 m internal diameter charged w...

Experimental study of the hydrodynamic behaviour of slug flow in a vertical riser (2013)
Journal Article
Abdulkadir, M., Hernandez-Perez, V., Lowndes, I., Azzopardi, B. J., & Dzomeku, S. (2014). Experimental study of the hydrodynamic behaviour of slug flow in a vertical riser. Chemical Engineering Science, 106, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2013.11.021

This paper presents an investigation of the hydrodynamics of slug flow in a vertical 67 mm internal diameter riser. The slug flow regime was generated using a multiphase air–silicone oil mixture over a range of gas (0.42
