Europeans spend between 80% to 90% of their time indoors, for example at home, school, office, and other public buildings. Besides, due to energy-saving measures in buildings, natural ventilation is reduced leading to the accumulation of indoor air pollutants. Consequently, indoor air ... Read More
We present a problem-adapted finite element model, which enables the design of a novel type of a highly miniaturized, electrostatic MEMS membrane pump, as well as the investigation and the optimization of its operation. The electro-mechanical actuation scheme constitutes a strongly ... Read More
Quantum heat engines (QHEs) perform a thermodynamic cycle by exchanging heat between a hot and a cold reservoir employing quantum systems as the working medium. Such thermoelectric generators could theoretically reach Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency due to the excellent properties of the ... Read More
While electrostatic actuators feature prominently among the most widely employed classes of actuators for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), conventional embodiments of these devices (e.g., parallel plate structures) notoriously suffer from several significant drawbacks. Most ... Read More
NASA’s future human exploration missions will require chemical processing plants to convert local resources into consumables to support astronaut activities [1]. The thin and mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars is estimated to have 5 – 10 particles/cm3 with diameter of 3.2 – 5 μm ... Read More
Microplastic contamination in sediment samples presents analytical challenges, as microplastic concentrations typically remain below 1% in environmental matrices [1]. Current analytical workflows require cost-effective and rapid pre-separation methods to concentrate microplastic ... Read More
This paper proposed design and implementation of a deodorizing electrostatic filter in hoods. The proposed model is aimed to be used in home applications. Electrostatic analysis is used to define maximum voltage level in order to refrain electrical breakdown (arc). It is vital because ... Read More
The Poisson equation, as implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics® AC/DC module, solves for the electrostatic potential due to general charge distributions subject to various boundary conditions, very often Dirichlet conditions of constant potential at conductor surfaces. When both the ... Read More
The next step in the evolution of the metal sector of Additive Manufacturing and especially for Laser based Powder Bed Fusion is the production of multi-material components as shown by [1]. Therefore, the powder application module must be able to selectively arrange different powders in ... Read More
Introduction Oversized microbubbles traveling through confining conduits can create flow blockages when the lubrication layer surrounding them drains, requiring undesirable increases in pressure gradient for discharging channel contents. In increasingly demanding industrial ... Read More
