The study of multiphase flows inside the microfluidic devices has received much attention recently because of its applications in heat and mass transfer, mixing, microreaction, emulsification and most importantly in MEMS and lab-on-a-chip. We study the influence of an electric field on ... Read More
Problem Description Sorption heat storage systems are attracting growing interest due to their high energy density and loss-free heat storage capability, making them a promising solution for storing surplus solar energy in summer for use in winter in residential buildings. However, these ... Read More
Used for welding, cutting, deposition by projection, for the treatement of waste, or in analysis for ICP torches, for the synthesis of high purity silica or for the manufacture of nanometric powders or nanoparticules, thermal plasmas are fundamental in processing of materials and in ... Read More
A Tesla valve has a fixed geometry and its purpose is to be a check valve. This valve is named after its inventor Nikola Tesla and the patent to this has been published in the year 1920 [1]. In the reverse direction, the flow resistance is higher compared to the flow resistance in ... Read More
The aim of this work is the numerical study, by finite element analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics®, of the heat transfer and working temperature field of a photovoltaic panel under realistic wind and irradiation conditions. It is well-known that a great portion of the solar radiation ... Read More
Fluids used in biomedical microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS) devices often exhibit very different flow behavior from those in bulk solutions, which in turn affects the behavior of cells and biomolecules in the device. In this work, we investigate an integrated microfluidic system ... Read More
The current and energy transfer to cathodes of vacuum arcs usually occurs in bright, narrow regions, known as cathode spots. Owing to extreme conditions in these spots, the cathode surface is eroded: electrode material is vaporized, and craters and molten metal jets are formed. The study ... Read More
Metal foams are interesting materials with many potential uses. They are characterized by a cellular structure represented by a metal (or a metal alloy) and gas voids inside. A common metallic cellular material is a solid sponge, also known as open-cell metal foam. Due to their intrinsic ... Read More
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and finding new ecological and renewable energy sources are among the biggest challenges humanity is facing nowadays [1] [2]. At the same time, power requirements are increasing constantly, where primary energy consumption is intrinsically accompanied by ... Read More
Chemically driven actuators capable of directional motion have attracted considerable attention for their autonomy, sustainability, and versatility[1]. However, conventional enzyme-based actuators often suffer from limitations such as high cost and insufficient control over orientation. ... Read More
