Droplets and their interaction with solid substrates are ubiquitous in nature. Such interactions also have commercial significance, as they are observed in many important applications. Impingement dynamics of aqueous droplets with solid substrates are largely understood due to extensive ... Read More
In the modern food industry one of the most important problems to face is to preserve products from deterioration: a widely used solution is the convective foods drying. Drying is based on a simultaneous transfer of both heat and water that takes place when dry and warm air flows around ... Read More
This work addresses the critical challenge of accurately determining the inner states of three-phase electric smelting furnaces, commonly used in ferro-alloy and silicon production. Gaining insights into these internal states is crucial for optimizing furnace performance, energy ... Read More
Various types of equation system formulations for modeling two-phase flow in porous media using the finite element method have been investigated. These allow for equation manipulation such that the main differences between the formulations are the dependent variables that are solved ... 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
Biopreservation deals with the protection and storage of complex biologics such as proteins, lipids, and recently, mammalian cells. One preservation method, known as lyopreservation, involves placing a biologic inside a water droplet with some type of sugar excipient (sucrose, trehalose, ... Read More
This study presents a novel microfluidic chip integrated with biosensors and capillary microfluidics, specifically designed for target screening and precise fluid control. The capillary pumps facilitate spontaneous fluid delivery to the sensors, eliminating the necessity for external ... Read More
Drying of biomaterials such as foodstuffs involves mass, momentum and energy transport along with large shrinkage of the porous material, which have significant effects on their final quality. Foodstuffs exhibit non-linearity when undergoing large deformations that affect the transport ... Read More
A continuum, porous medium formulation with non-equilibrium sublimation was developed and validated for freeze drying without and with uniform microwave volumetric heating. The model incorporates the effect of Knudsen flow at low pressure and low permeability freeze drying. The ... Read More
This study investigates the effect of uniform magnetic field on the deformation of a ferrofluid droplet in a two dimensional (2D) simple shear flow by means of numerical simulation. The magnetic field is applied in a perpendicular direction to the flow direction. A numerical scheme ... Read More
