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
The material wood is frequently used in construction industry for several elements such as window frames. However, as a hygrothermal material, wood is sensitive to moisture induced damage. In this context, the moisture uptake of wood based windows logged with an integrated relative ... Read More
Temperature homogeneity is a critical issue for high temperature vacuum furnaces for heat treatment, as small temperature variations in the load volume can significantly influence the heat treatment result. It is generally defined by the so-called Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) ... Read More
The goal of this study is to exploit the phase change in vanadium dioxide (VO₂) for optical sensing. Infrared (IR) sensing is of paramount interest for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) are expected to enable low-energy consumption sensors, ... Read More
In nanofluid delivery, backflow along the needle is a major hurdle to deliver drug-carrying nanofluid to the entire tumor. In theory, any approaches to decrease the overall flow resistance in tumors would facilitate drug delivery. The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical ... Read More
Microbubble oscillations in the presence of ultrasound wave inside blood vessel have been widely studied for therapeutic applications like drug and gene delivery[1], blood-brain barrier opening[2], and lysis of blood clot[3] and cell membrane[4]. An oscillating bubble exerts stresses on ... Read More
Granular and powdered activated carbons have been widely used for purification/filtration in air and water as catalysts or organic adsorbents. To obtain mechanical filtration capacity and inorganic reduction performance, activated carbon can be formed as a block-shaped porous media, ... Read More
A key challenge in the design of medical devices that interface with blood is to minimize the likelihood of blood damage. Simulating blood flow through a medical device and estimating the likelihood of blood damage is a key step to improving performance and safety, thereby expediting ... Read More
Black-oil simulators are commonly used in petroleum reservoir engineering for the prediction of oil production, especially during the earlier stages of oil-field exploitation, while also serving to guide pressure maintenance strategies in the longer term. Such models account for fluid ... Read More
This research proposed a novel battery thermal management system that utilized the heat pipe coupling composite fin (HPCF) which consisted of aluminum fin, phase change material and liquid cooling tube. By using battery module, heat transfer module and CFD module of COMSOL, the ... Read More
