Deposition of Submicron Charged Spherical Particles in the Trachea of the Human Airways

H.O. Åkerstedt[1]
[1]Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden

This paper presents a numerical study of the deposition of submicron charged spherical particles caused by convection, Brownian and turbulent diffusion in a pipe with a smooth wall and with a cartilaginous ring wall structure (see figure). The model is supposed to describe deposition of ... Read More

Design and Simulation of Valveless Piezoelectric Micropump

L. Nayana[1], P. Manohar[1], S. Babu[1]
[1]Department of Electrical Engineering, Visvesvaraya Technological University, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

In this paper some discrete parts of a valveless piezoelectric micropump for drug delivery system is designed and simulated. The core components of the micropump are actuator unit that converts the reciprocating movement of a diaphragm actuated by a piezoelectric actuator into a pumping ... Read More

Modeling Magnetic Configurations for Improved Separations of Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Materials

S. Khushrushahi[1], T.A. Hatton[1], M. Zahn[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA

Magnetic separation of magnetic liquid phases/particles from non-magnetic liquid phases/particles are needed for applications such as cleaning up oil spills by separating oil and water liquid phases or separating magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials in biomedical and ... Read More

Microfluidic Systems for Cell Growth and Cell Migration Studies

M.Dimaki[1], P. Shah[1], D. Kwasny[1], J. Lange Moresco[2], and W. E. Svendsen[1]
[1]Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark
[2]Sunstone Capital, Copenhagen, Denmark

Lab-on-a-chip devices for cell culturing are becoming imperative in order to satisfy the needs for point-of-care or decentralized laboratory testing. Towards that goal we have developed miniaturized membrane based cell culture chambers for use within the field of chromosome analysis. The ... Read More

Study of a Self Heating Process of Tetrafluoroethylene by the Exothermic Dimerization Reaction to Octafluorocyclobutane

M. Beckmann-Kluge[1], H. Krause[1], V. Schröder[1], A. Acikalin[2], and J. Steinbach[2]
[1]Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin, Germany
[2]Technical University Berlin, Berlin, Germany

The self heating process of Tetrafluoroethylene caused by an exothermic dimerization reaction was studied. The heat of reaction can lead to a thermal explosion by the decomposition of the Tetrafluoroethylene. Different reaction kinetics, including multistep kinetics, were used to ... Read More

Modeling 2D and 3D of Hybrid Laser Nd:Yag - MIG Welding Processes

E. Le Guen[1], R. Fabbro[1], F. Coste[1], M. Carin[2], and P. Le Masson[2]
[1]LALP (CNRS)/GIP GERAILP, Arcueil, France
[2]LIMATB, Université de Bretagne Sud, Lorient, France

Hybrid laser-MIG arc welding has very interesting advantages compared to laser welding or arc welding used separately. It is known that improvement of productivity results in higher welding speeds, thicker welded materials, joint fit-up allowance, better stability of molten pool, and ... Read More

Fluid-Thermal Analysis of an Inverter with Air Cooling

R. V. Arimilli[1], A. H. Nejad[1], K. Ekici[1]
[1]The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA

A new simple air-cooled inverter design is numerically investigated using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The thermal-fluid analysis is based on a three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer model in which the flow field is assumed to be laminar. A rigorous mesh convergence was performed to ... Read More

A Study of Lubricating Flows in MEMS Bearings

E. Gutierrez-Miravete[1], and J. Streeter[2]

[1]Department of Engineering and Science, Rensselaer at Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, USA
[2]Optiwind, Torrington, Connecticut, USA

The bearing and shaft are part of a safe and arm device constructed as an assembly by a multi-layer additive/subtractive plating and planarization processes (EFAB technology). Devices are constructed by a multi-layer additive/subtractive planarization process. This paper evaluates the ... Read More

High-Temperature Sodium/Metal Chloride Storage Battery

M. Vallance[1], and R. White[2]
[1]General Electric Global Research Center, Niskayuna, NY, USA
[2]Department of Chemical Engineering, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA

Sodium/metal chloride storage batteries, used in hybrid propulsion applications, provide high energy and power densities safely and reliably. To understand the dynamics of electrochemical cycling, a high-temperature sodium/ferrous chloride storage cell was modeled in two dimensions. The ... Read More
