Materials Handling info:
Materials handling refers to the loading, moving, and unloading of materials, often using mechanical equipment or transportation devices. Material handling systems range from conveyors, dollies, and carts, to cranes, hoists, and trucks. Considerations of material size, weight, and fragility determine the appropriate mode of transportation employed in handling. In the industrial sector, the rate at which products or manufacturing supplies can be moved is often a central concern because it affects both costs and production efficiency. In addition, safety is an important factor, especially when handling sensitive or hazardous material.
Bulk material handling involves moving loose, heavy products and it usually employs larger-scale equipment, such as elevators, stacking units, and shuttles. Bulk materials include grain, ore, and mixed waste. This type of material handling is commonly found in processing facilities and mining sites.

Abstract and Attributes of ASME Vessel Heat Transfer Surfaces.
Focusing on three types of external jacketed heat transfer surfaces such as: conventional jacket, half pipe jacket and dimple jacket, this paper looks at heat transfer methods that use steam or fluid. Describing a conventional jacket, it states that they are best used for low pressure applications below 50psi. Highlighting the design of dimple...

Transloading - Part One: Tanker Trucks to Rail Cars
The term "transloading" means to transfer a shipment from one mode of transportation to another. Focusing on the Bakken area in North Dakota, which is situated more than a thousand miles away from the nearest pipeline, this paper states that in such cases companies need to transport crude oil using a combination of tanker trucks and rail cars....
