The goal of this research is to provide the medical staff with a numerical system assessment of wall shear stress in carotid bifurcation. Through this model, it will be fundamental to investigate the stress state properties of the surface in contact between the plaque and the artery, and ... Read More
Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD) power generation systems were originally investigated starting from the fact that the interaction of a plasma with a magnetic field must take place at much higher temperatures than could be observed in a mechanical turbine. The main problems of traditional MHD ... Read More
Flow channel design in a PEM fuel cell plays a critical role for uniformly distributing reactants to the reaction sites and effectively removing product water to prevent flooding. Simplistic design and uniform reactant distribution make parallel channels a potential candidate for ... Read More
A model of a cell counter sensor based on Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) has been implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics. The cell counter is a silicon-based microdevice consisting in 3D electrodes placed in a wide microchannel: cells flow in the microchannel through the electrodes to be ... Read More
Stationary flow configurations in curved pipes constitute an important subject from both the theoretical and the practical point of view. A typical application concerns the calculation of secondary flow effects on the thermal efficiency of heat exchangers. Motivated by a similar problem, ... Read More
In this work an innovative wind power generation in urban areas is proposed. The generation system substitutes the roof of the building and it consists of a static part, the stator, and a moving part, called impeller, which is a centripetal turbine with vertical axis of rotation. Since ... Read More
In 1901 Weiss proposed an equation predicting activation of nerve fibers by electrical stimulation, used in neuroscience and neuromodulation, which applies electric fields to modify nerve behavior in neurological disorders. Weiss’ equation is relative to geometry, electrode array, ... Read More
Ground freezing techniques using liquid nitrogen are commonly used in order to increase the mechanical properties of the soils. This article presents a new ground heat exchanger using aluminum to increase the effective radius of the heat exchanger. Simulation results indicate that the ... Read More
A microfluidic thermal cycler for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has been modeled. A microliter sample is driven along the microchannel by a flow generated by means of electroosmotic micropumps, activated in sequence. Several multichannel pumps configurations have been separately ... Read More
Cryotherapy and thermotherapy are common methods of treatment for acute injuries ranging from ankle sprains to complex surgery. The idea behind such treatment is that a change in temperature will reduce pain and constrict fluctuations in blood flow at the targeted area. The purpose of ... Read More
