Design, Simulation and Study of MEMS Based Micro-Needles and Micro-Pump for Biomedical Applications
In this paper, we have addressed the issues related to the design and simulation of MEMS based silicon micro-needles for insertion of fluid into the dermis layer and into the subcutaneous fat layer. In addition, a poly-silicon micro-pump based on the principle of electrostatic actuation ... Read More
Modeling of Articular Cartilage Growth Using COMSOL
Articular cartilage is an avascular connective soft tissue in the diarthrodial joints and functions in a highly demanding mechanical environment. The degeneration or wear of the cartilage is a huge problem that effects millions of people every year. The long term objective of the ... Read More
Voltage and Capacitance analysis of EWOD system using COMSOL
Electrowetting on Dielectrics (EWOD)systems is widely practiced digital microfluidic technique, used in Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) system for biomedical application. In EWOD, with applied potential, the droplet minimizes its surface energy by transiting towards the actuated electrode. The ... Read More
Numerical Study on Mechanical Properties of Stents with Different Materials during Stent Deployment with Balloon Expansion.
The main reason for stent implantation is to provide mechanical support to the arterial wall. So it is important to consider the different mechanical properties of different stent materials while studying the stent implant’s efficacy. The present study gives a comparative overview of ... Read More
Simulation of MEMS based Flexible Flow Sensor for Biomedical Application
Arterial disease, especially Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of premature morbidity and mortality. During the flow, blood interacts with vessel wall mechanically and chemically which modulates the plaque formation in blood vessel leading to coronary artery ... Read More
Multiphysics Modeling and Simulation of MEMS Based Thermal Bimorph Sensor Array for Automated Solar Energy Storage Applications
Two bimorph array facing opposite to each other are designed and attached with metal micro plates. The micro solar cell (or) film can be placed on the top of each plate for storing the energy. With respect to the direction of sun light, one bimorph array receives more energy in the form ... Read More
3-D Design, Electro-Thermal Simulation and Geometrical Optimization of Spiral Platinum Micro-Heaters for Low Power Gas Sensing Applications Using COMSOL 4.1
In this paper a thermal electric finite element method (FEM) analysis was used to investigate the thermal properties of individual electrically driven platinum micro-heaters.

Simulation of Fast Response Thermocouple for the Nuclear Reactor Core
Thermocouples have been used for measurement of temperature ever since the discovery of Seebeck effect. Though the voltage output of a thermocouple is a function of the temperature difference between hot and cold junctions, the response time and the magnitude of voltage depends on the ... Read More
Modeling of Limestone Calcination Using Joule Heating
The limestone calcination reaction is endothermic and will proceed only if the partial pressure of CO2 in the gas above the solid surface is less than the decomposition pressure of the CaCO3. As the reaction is endothermic, the conventional process for calcination uses coal firing in ... Read More
