This study creates a 2D fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model to study the effect of magnetic field and particle aspect ratio on the period of rotation and symmetry of ellipsoidal paramagnetic particles. The results show that the magnetic field strength has a significant effect on the ... Read More
A 3-D COMSOL model was established to investigate the heat and mass transfer in a hollow fiber membrane (HFM) module for direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Membrane distillation is a separation process that relies on vapor pressure gradients to drive the production of purified ... Read More
In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics was used to simulate DNA separation within a microchannel based on the entropic trapping mechanism. The entropic trapping mechanism involves DNA molecules passing through a series of obstacles in a microchannel and different lengths of DNA exhibiting ... Read More
The advent of Micro/Nano fluidic technologies has enabled researchers from various fields to use these advancements for analysis and experiments. In this work we present such a device that can be used for analyzing coagulation of blood in a microchannel by measuring the displacement of ... Read More
In electrochemical machining process, it is very important to control electrolyte flow field to remove contamination such as slug, or gas to be generated by the machining process as well as heat control for electrolyte, machining tool and work piece. To reduce the overcut of workpiece, ... Read More
Aboard the International Space Station, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere using a four-bed adsorptive separation process, referred to generally as a 4-Bed Molecular Sieve (4BMS). Experience with the current 4BMS design in space has led to a list of areas for improvement for a ... Read More
