Modeling of a DBD Reactor for the Treatment of VOC

L. Braci[1], S. Ognier[1], and S. Cavadias[1]
[1]Laboratoire de Génie des Procédés Plasmas et Traitements de Surfaces, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris, University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France

Non-thermal plasma, generated in atmospheric pressure discharges, has been investigated in our laboratory in order to treat highly diluted (300 ppm to 1000 ppm) volatile pollutant. The collision of electrons created in the discharge with atmospheric air, leads to the formation of ... Read More

Flow Modeling in Long Surface Patterned Micromixers Using Division in Multiple Geometrical Subunits

J. Clark [1], T. A. Butt [1], G. Mahajan [2], C. R. Kothapalli [2], M. Kaufman [1], P. S. Fodor [1]
[1] Department of Physics, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH, USA
[2] Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH, USA

Optimization of mixing in microfluidic devices is a popular application of computational fluid dynamics software packages, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, with an increasing number of studies being published on the topic. On one hand, the laminar nature of the flow and lack of turbulence in ... Read More

Optical Trapping on Waveguides

O.G. Hellesø [1],
[1] University of Tromsø, Tromsø, Norway

On the surface of an optical waveguide, there is an evanescent field. The evanescent field decays fast and this steep gradient can be used to pull nano- and microparticles down towards the waveguide surface. Radiation forces will propel the particle forward along the waveguide. Trapping ... Read More

Electromagnetic Force Simulations on a Reaction Sphere for Satellite Attitude Control

L. Rossini[1], E. Onillon[1], O.Chetelat[1], and C. Allegranza[2]
[1]Centre Suisse d’Electronique et Microtechnique, Switzerland
[2]ESA/ESTEC, The Netherlands

In the frame of an ESA project, CSEM in collaboration with other partners has developed an innovative Attitude Orbit Control System concept that relies on a Reaction Sphere. We propose to use one unique magnetic bearing Reaction Sphere whose spin axis and angular velocity can be ... Read More

Design and Simulation of a Piezoelectric Actuated Valveless Micropump

J. J. Rojas [1], J. E. Morales [2],
[1] School of Electromechanical Engineering, Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Cartago, Costa Rica
[2] School of Electronic Engineering, Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Cartago, Costa Rica

Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field, basically it designs systems to handle small volumes of fluids. Most applications require a pumping action in order to move the fluid trough the system. For most of them a micro scale active pump is highly desirable. A piezoelectric micropump ... Read More

Numerical Investigation of a Time-dependent Magnetic Actuation Technique for Tagging Biomolecules with Magnetic Nanoparticles in a Microfluidic System

A. Munir, J. Wang, Z. Zhu, and H.S. Zhou
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA

The magnetic body forces that act on mono-dispersed magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) tagged biomolecules in a microfluidic system can be efficiently used in various applications that involve separation and detection including DNA and protein analysis, bio-defense, drug delivery, and ... Read More

Simulation of a Magnetophoretic Device for the Separation of Colloidal Particles in Magnetic Fluids

S.K. Fateen, and M. Magdi
Cairo University, Giza, Egypt

Magnetophoresis of non-magnetic particles is the induced motion of non-magnetic particles suspended in magnetic media on the application of a magnetic field gradient. Magnetophoresis can be used in special separation devices to separate colloidal particles based on their sizes. ... Read More

Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Arc Motion Between Bus-Bar Electrodes

M. Lisnyak [1] , M. Chnani [2], A. Gautier [2] , J.-M. Bauchire [1]
[1] Université d’Orléans, Orléans, France
[2] Zodiac Aero Electric, Zodiac Aerospace, Montreuil, France

The knowledge of the behavior of electric arcs between plane electrodes is in high interest due to their presence in industrial applications such as low voltage circuit breakers. In this contribution, numerical simulations of an electric arc displacement due to electro-magnetic forces ... Read More

Variation of the Frost Boundary below Road and Railway Embankments in Permafrost Regions in Response to Solar Irradiation and Winds

N.I. Kömle[1] and W. Feng[2]
[1]Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Graz, Austria
[2]State Key Laboratory of Frozen Soil Engineering, Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute, Lanzhou, China

We present COMSOL solutions for a coupled gas flow and heat transfer problem, which occurs particularly when traffic pathways are constructed in high altitude and arctic regions, where the underground is frozen soil. To avoid melting of the frozen ground (which usually leads to ... Read More

Rheological Behaviour of Single–Phase Non-Newtonian Polymer Solution in Complex Pore Geometry: A Simulation Approach

P. Idahosa[1], G. Oluyemi[2], R. Prabhu[2], B. Oyeneyin[2]
[1]IDEAS Research Institute/School of Engineering, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
[2]School of Engineering, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

One of the most important criteria for evaluating chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes that use polymers is its rheological behaviour which in turn account for other physical effects of adsorption and resistance factors during polymer-rock interactions. However, complete ... Read More
