Design and Characterization of MOEMS Optical Tweezers

J. A. Andrews[1], R. Chaubey[1], G. Dwivedi[1], V. Dwivedi[1], N. Sagar[1]
[1]National MEMS Design Center, Department of Applied Physics, Shri G S Institute of Technology & Science, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India

Optical tweezers work on the idea of non-contact Optical Pressure felt by transparent particles, when shined by coherent light source such as lasers. On the other hand when light falls on the metal it excites the electron inside it and make them free. When these free electron cloud ... Read More

Design and Development of Microsystems within a Corporate Research Environment by Utilizing Comsol Multiphysics

A. Frey
Siemens AG
Corporate Research & Technologies
Munich, Germany

Alexander Frey received his M.A. degree from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1994, the Dipl. Phys. degree from the University of Wuerzburg, Germany in 1997 and the PhD from the Saarland University, Germany in 2010. In 1997 he joined Research Laboratories of Siemens working on the ... Read More

Improving Natural Convection in Redox Flow Batteries

Md Aslam Ansari [1], Dr. Sanjeev Kumar [1],
[1] Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Harvesting of renewable energy requires efficient energy storage systems. Rechargeable flow batteries offer certain advantages over other energy storage techniques in use, such as the lifting of water, compression of air, flywheel, etc. In a flow battery, electrolyte flowing through ... Read More

Electro-acoustic Coupling in Nematic Liquid Crystals

G. Rosi[1], L. Teresi[1], A. DiCarlo[1], and F. dell'Isola[2]
[1]LaMS - Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Roma, Italy
[2]Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza", Roma, Italy

Liquid crystals - as all liquids - are generally modelled as incompressible media. In fact, mass-density changes occurring in these mesophases are minuscule and inconsequential in most regimes of interest. However, liquid crystals exhibit also phenomena that call for a more refined ... Read More

Simulation of the Coalescence and Subsequent Mixing of Inkjet Printed Droplets

M.H.A. van Dongen[1], H.J. van Halewijn[2]
[1]Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Expertise Centre Thin Films & Functional Materials, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
[2]Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Coalescence of droplets is a widely investigated phenomenon. In inkjet printing micrometer sized droplets are deposited on a substrate which when positioned close enough to each other will coalesce and mix. Little is known about the flows and mixing behaviour within these small droplets. ... Read More

Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulation of Argon Gas Heater for ARPS in Pyroprocessing Facility

Sourabh Agarwal [1], K. Revathy [1], A.S Vipin [1], S.P Ruhela [1], B. Muralidharan [1], B.P Reddy [1],
[1] Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, India

PyroProcessing Research and Development Facility (PPRDF) is being setup in IGCAR to develop pyroprocessing technology. It consists of a large argon cell attached with Argon Recirculation and Purification System (ARPS). Once through Argon gas heater is an important process equipment in ... Read More

Numerical Solutions for the Lévêque Problem of Boundary Layer Mass or Heat Flux

E. Holzbecher
Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS), Berlin, Germany

The Lévêque problem is an idealized simple situation concerning the influence of the boundary on the distribution of temperature or mass in Hagen-Poiseuille flow. Here, the performance of numerical solutions is examined for a range of Péclet numbers, spanning 11 orders of magnitude. We ... Read More

Modeling of Ferrofluid Passive Cooling System

M. Yang[1,2], R. O'Handley[2], and Z. Fang[2,3]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
[2]Ferro Solutions, Woburn, MA, USA
[3]Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA

A ferrofluid contains nanoscale ferromagnetic particles suspended in a carrier liquid. It is used in some high-power acoustic speakers to cool the drive coil. The ferromagnetic particles far from the heat source are attracted by the drive coil’s magnetic field. As the fluid approaches ... Read More

Design of a Microreactor for Microwave Organic Synthesis through Microwave Heating Simulations

W. H. Lee[1], K. Jensen[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA

We will present the issues of a microreactor setup designed for microwave organic synthesis and demonstrate how COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to understand the mechanism of microwave heating and improve the microreactor design. The RF Module was used for the electromagnetics and solid ... Read More
