A very simplified system for high voltage test is studied, considering reason for voltage holding failures which are not covered by conventional and local design criteria. A first understanding of the problem is obtained by solving the electrostatic potential in a 2D axis symmetric ... Read More
Carbon fiber as filaments or as continuously reinforced composite finds application in the electronic packages, electric vehicles, and electrical machines, owing to its excellent electromagnetic (EMI) shielding and high conductivity. Carbon fiber being good conductor of electricity (in ... Read More
In electrochemical machining process, it is very important to control electrolyte flow field to remove contamination such as slug, or gas to be generated by the machining process as well as heat control for electrolyte, machining tool and work piece. To reduce the overcut of workpiece, ... Read More
Electrokinetic (EK) techniques have been broadly implemented in a variety of fields, including microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip, and are seeing increased interest to miniaturize and optimize fluid pumping and mixing systems. While EK techniques such as electro-osmosis and ... Read More
Small-scale plasma jets in atmospheric air can produce regions of highly reactive chemistry coincident with temperatures approaching room temperature allowing his type of cold plasma jet to be used for decontamination of surfaces and sterilization of living tissue. In the device under ... Read More
Plasma torches are used in processing of materials as well as in the energy industry for producing plasma. In a non-transferred arc plasma torch, an electric arc can be initiated by applying a direct current (DC) between the cathode and anode, both placed inside the torch. Then, the ... Read More
Thomas Herrmannsdörfer got his PhD in experimental physics from the University of Bayreuth in 1994. In 1995, he received the Research Award of the Emil-Warburg-Foundation while he worked at the DFG-Graduiertenkolleg Bayreuth. From 1995 – 1998 he worked as a scientist at Hahn-Meitner ... Read More
This paper presents the design and simulation of micromixer for Lab-On-Chip (LOC) applications. There are two types of micromixers: one is an active micromixer and another one is a passive micromixer. This paper investigates microfluidic flow characterization and mixing rate of two ... Read More
Elastocaloric heating/cooling takes advantage of the structural changes in shape memory alloys (SMAs) that release and absorb heat when a strain is applied over a transition temperature. Heating/cooling cycles that use SMAs offer a potential solution to issues associated with the use of ... Read More
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is currently exploring the use of infrasound sensors to monitor the health of structures of interest. Infrasound is acoustic energy below 20 Hz and is capable of propagating many kilometers from the source with little ... Read More
