Effects of Thermal and Electro-Osmotic Flux on Grounding Electrodes
Electricity has become the main source of heat, power, and light used in the modern world. Much of the technological advances made over the last few decades are due to electrical energy. One of the essential components of the electrical system is the grounding network. The continuous ... Read More
Aquifer Pumping Test Evaluation: 1D Classical vs. 2D Numerical Solutions
In a pumping test the drawdown of the water table in a piezometer is recorded, as response to pumping from a nearby well. Pumping tests belong into the common toolbox of hydro-geologists, used to obtain basic parameters for aquifer characterization. There are various approaches to ... Read More
3D Analyses of Changes in Free Bubble-Induced Stresses on Blood Vessel Wall in Ultrasound Therapy
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
Nuclear PWR Analysis: Backup Power Response Time as a Function of Pressurizer Size
A pressurizer is a specialized vessel used to regulate pressure in the primary coolant loop of pressurized light water nuclear reactors (PWRs). During normal operation heat lost to the surrounding environment is replaced by heating coils in the pressurizer tank to maintain system ... Read More
Multiphysics Simulation of Hydrodynamic Trapping of S. cerevisiae
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used for the study of aging in eukaryotic cells. The traditional method for this study uses micromanipulators which makes it difficult, time consuming and expensive. Over time, different microfluidic platforms, usually referred to as 'mother ... Read More
3D Modeling and Analysis of a Mock-up Ironless Stator Design for Electrical Machines
With the evolving trend of electrification in transportation, electric machines with higher power density and higher efficiency are demanded which results in the thermal limit of the stator winding becoming more of a key constraint. The achievable current density in stator windings is ... Read More
Simulation of Oxygen Transport and Cellular Uptake in a Microphysiological System
Microphysiological systems (MPS) combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic human organ function in vitro. Such devices are being developed to provide better levels of tissue and organ functionality compared with conventional cell culture systems, and have great ... Read More
Modeling the Directional Response of Slim Height Channel Speakers
Modern home audio products are starting to feature dedicated upward firing height channel speakers, which are a combination of unique physical speaker design and special signal processing, to reproduce audio as if the sound source is located in the ceiling. Due to slim form factor design ... Read More
Modeling Nanowire Photovoltaic Devices
Introducing nanostructures into conventional III-V solar materials can improve the light capturing ability of solar devices. Nanowires are thin columns light absorbing material with such a small footprint that they can be grown epitaxially on lattice mismatched substrates. By growing III ... Read More
Stress Analysis on a Capsule Robot Due to the Peristaltic Movement of the Intestine
A significant population of microorganisms (bacteria, archae and fungi) live inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and are collectively known as microbiota [1]. The microbiota contain lifelong information on the health of an individual and can assist in early diagnosis of diseases such ... Read More
