A Flow and Transport Model of Catalytic Multi-Pump Systems with Parametric Dependencies

A. Sen [1], D. Myers [1], A. Altemose [1],
[1] Department of Chemistry, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA

This poster studies catalytic micropumps and their ability to induce fluid flow on the microscale. The goal of the study is to design a long-distance, directed convective loop. An array of catalytic micropumps was constructed in the domain, comprised of two distinct catalysts in an ... Read More

Numerical Modeling of 3D Electrowetting Droplet Actuation and Cooling of a Hotspot

M. M. Nahar [1], H. Moon [1], G. S. Bindiganavane [1], J. Nikapitiya [1]
[1] Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Texas - Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA

Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD) is a versatile tool for performing basic operations in Digital Microfluidic Systems. In EWOD, surface tension between a liquid droplet and solid substrate is modulated by applying voltage to an electrode and a hydrophobic surface is transformed into a ... Read More

Ultrasound-assisted Microfluidic Devices: Insights and Optimization of Sono-microreactors

F. J. Navarro-Brull [1], P. Poveda [2], J. Ramis [2], R. Gómez [1],
[1] Departament de Química Física, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain
[2] Departament de Física, Enginyeria de Sistemes i Teoria del Senyal, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain

Possible drawbacks of microreactors are inefficient reactant mixing due to the predominance of laminar flow and clogging (when solid-forming reactions are performed or solid catalyst suspensions are used). Ultrasound has been successfully implemented not only to prevent these problems ... Read More

Flexible Numerical Platform for Electrical Impedance Tomography

A. Fouchard [1], S. Bonnet [1], L. Hervé [1], O. David [2],
[1] University Grenoble Alpes, CEA, LETI, MINATEC Campus, Grenoble, France
[2] Univesité Joseph Fourier, Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience, La Tronche, France

An implementation of the Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) forward problem in a generalist FEM package is presented. It fulfils the complete electrode model boundary conditions, combining current injection with contact impedance on a single boundary. Our implementation is benchmarked ... Read More

Multiscale Model of the PECM with Oscillating Cathode for External Geometries Using a Virtual Switch

I. Schaarschmidt [1], M. Zinecker [1], M. Hackert-Oschätzchen [1], A. Schubert [1], G. Meichsner [2],
[1] Professorship Micromanufacturing Technology, Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz, Germany
[2] Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology, Chemnitz, Germany

The machining of hardened steel or powder metallurgical steel, for example to manufacture impact extrusion punches, is a big challenge for conventional machining technology as milling or turning. A non-conventional machining technology is Electrochemical Machining (ECM), which allows ... Read More

[1] Semiconductor Research Lab, ITER, Siksha 'O' Anusandhan University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

The attempt has taken to miniaturized size of non contact temperature sensor by using ultrasonic trans-receiver. The piezoelectric material is used in both transmitter and receiver ends for this ultrasonic Micro-Electronics Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based temperature sensing device. ... Read More

Modeling Low Frequency Axial Fluid Acoustic Modes in Continuous Loop Piping Systems

E. Gutierrez-Miravete[1], E.R. Marderness[2]
[1]Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hartford, CT, USA
[2]General Dynamics-Electric Boat, Groton, CT, USA

Industrial fluid systems often involve continuous piping loops. These systems consist of varying lengths of pipes and hoses connecting multiple components together. Fluid resonances can detrimentally affect the operation of fluid systems and components. This work used COMSOL to ... Read More

Modelling of Reactive Non-Isothermal Mixture Flow and its Simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

V. Orava[1,2], O. Soucek[1], P. Cedula[2]
[1]Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic
[2]Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Winterthur, Switzerland

I introduce a model of fluidized reactor which, in presence of heterogeneous platinum-based catalyst, decomposes liquid formic acid producing gaseous mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen as the product. I treat the physical system as a (Class II) mixture of four constituents - namely ... Read More

Quantitative Assessment of Secondary Flows of Single-phase Fluid through Pipe Bends

Z. Kaldy [1], O. Ayala [1],
[1] Department of Engineering Technology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA

Single-phase fluid flow was simulated passing through various three dimensional pipe elbows. The simulations varied by Reynolds number, curvature ratios, and sweep angles and were all conducted using the k-ε model available in COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The intent of this research ...
