Traditionally, municipal sewer and water agencies have relied on acoustic data loggers and closed-circuit television cameras to inspect pipes for leaks. In addition, the same legacy techniques have been used to certify new and rehabilitated pipes as watertight. Unfortunately, visually ... Read More
Most of the reported studies on the electrical characteristics of biological cells assume that they have simple shapes like spheres or ellipsoids due to the lack of information about their accurate 3D shape. However, the actual shape of a cell can be quite fractal and it must be taken ... Read More
As minimally invasive and robotic surgical devices get smaller, designing precise energy delivery to create the desired tissue effect becomes a key component in product development. With many interdependent physical phenomena occurring simultaneously, it becomes necessary to use tools ... Read More
Recently a lot of research efforts have been focused on using plasmonics and nanophotonic structures for enhancing emission processes ranging from lasing to single-photon generation. The design of such structures heavily relies on the insight obtained from numerical simulations. In this ... Read More
Solar cooling systems based on evaporation and absorption processes have been actively studied and different mechanisms based on various refrigerants are designed and developed. Amongst these systems, a single-stage close cycle design utilizing lithium bromide salt and water (LiBr-H2O) ... Read More
Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... Read More
Microstructure evolution simulations using the kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm and the phase field method are routinely used to model and simulate sintering and densification of ceramic and metallic materials. Understanding evolution of microstructural features is important as these are ... Read More
Finite element method (FEM)-based solutions are known to contains errors and uncertainties due to at least four mathematical (M) and four physical (P) sources, namely, (M-1) mesh density or degrees of freedom, (M-2) mesh element types, (M-3) mesh quality such as mean aspect ratio, (M-4) ...

Design of Blood warmer medical device Rajesh Kapuganti1, Sivakumar A2, HCL Technologies, Chennai Email: rajesh-kapuganti@hcl.com1 sivakumara@hcl.com2 Abstract Multiphysics simulations were performed for designing the blood warmer accessory of a dialysis machine. As part of the design ... Read More
Most of existing material representations [1], even including the dynamic hysteresis and iron losses [2], ignore local microscopic non-uniformities. These concern the magnetic structure (domains and walls [3]) and are mainly due to surface effects, anisotropy and exchange [4]. One ... Read More
