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
Among the different uses of primary energy in the industrial and residential sectors, refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume around 17% of the electricity produced worldwide [1], reaching dissipated powers of approximately 2000 TWh [2]. These devices are based on the vapor ... Read More
Modern composite membranes for reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) have an ultrathin polyamide active layer (~100 nm) that performs the ion separation. Current theoretical models explain solute and water fluxes by computing concentration and potential gradients developed in one ... Read More
During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... Read More
Simplistic, 1D analytical calculations in electro-magneto-hydrodynamics are attractive to technologists and researchers given the computational resources and time required by 3 dimensional F.E. (Finite Element) tools. However, such analytical calculations need to be checked against 3D ... Read More
This paper focuses on the acoustic modeling and simulation of a simplified minute repeater watch using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The overarching objective is to optimize the hammer's impact location on the watch's gong (timbre) to enhance both the radiated acoustic intensity and ... Read More
The problem is to understand how a geothermal field can evolve from a water dominated state into a vapor dominated one. A first answer to this question is given by a simplified mathematical model of the dynamics of a geothermal field in which the geothermal fluid is entirely composed by ... Read More
Solid-state magnetic refrigeration near room temperature, based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), is being investigated as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional vapor-compression systems (responsible for the 7.8% of greenhouse gas emissions) [1] [2], ... Read More
The use of impellers is extremely widespread across various industrial applications. Fluid motion, mixing processes, and propulsion are just a few of the fields in which impellers play a key technological role. In general, impellers enable energy transfer through the interaction between ... Read More
In this paper, we use the PDE interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to implement the 2.5D frequency wave-number domain method to investigate the wave propagation in a deviated borehole penetrating a transversely isotropic formation. A convolutional perfectly matched layer is ... Read More
