Microalgae biomass is an essential part of the global ecosystem. Not only is it responsible for 50% of the global oxygen but also proved to be useful in the development of organic polymers, antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, and feedstocks for aquatic animals. It is considered as an ... Read More
The main mechanisms of acoustic attenuation in a bundle of fibres typical of lightweight fibrous porous materials are the dynamic viscous drag forces on the surface of the fibres, and the thermal heat transfer between the solid fibres and the surrounding fluid. Microstructure models ... Read More
We are working on a microfabricated lysing chip that uses a piezoelectric actuator to provide ultrasonic energy to break apart cells. The device contains pillars with varying dimensions. We hypothesize that increasing the aspect ratio of pillars will increase the efficiency of the ... Read More
High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a risk factor for glaucoma, a condition that can cause blindness. Conventional ways of measuring IOP either require contact or can be uncomfortable for the patient. We have developed a method to measure IOP from the propagation time of a wave on the ... Read More
The multilayer composite single mass cantilever is a MEMS energy harvester structure. The vibrating structure is under vacuum in hermetic MEMS. However, out-gassing during process integration and fabrication would cause air molecules (e.g. hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, oxygen, ... Read More
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung disease caused by a variety of direct and indirect insults. The main treatment for ARDS is mechanical ventilation. The ventilation of fluid filled lungs involves the propagation of microbubbles over a layer of epithelial cells. ... Read More
The presented paper describes a method for micro precision assembly of very small objects like future microchips, which have a lateral expansion equal to or smaller than 500 μm. The modelling and simulation of a fluidicbased micro assembly method for a microchip with a dimension of ... Read More
3D finite element analysis model has been constructed for testing the directional dependence in a novel form of nanowire array gas flow sensor. Single nanowire (p-type single crystal Silicon) model is developed using fluid structure interaction and piezoresistivity components in the MEMS ... Read More
An external magnetic field imposed on a ferrofluid with a temperature gradient, results in a non-uniform magnetic body force, which leads to a form of heat transfer called thermomagnetic convection. A magnet placed near the device will always attract the colder ferrofluid more than ... Read More
Previous to the present work, a formal calculation was approved [1,2] to support the operation of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) Horizontal Beam-Tube 1 of 4 (HB-1). The present calculation [3,4] repeats the previous work using COMSOL Multiphysics® software and extends the analysis ... Read More
