Design of Novel Recirculation System for Slow Reacting Assays in Microfluidic Domain

N.N. Sharma, and A. Tekawade
Mechanical Engineering Group, Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani, Rajasthan, India

A simple design for a microfluidic flow system for use in mixing or reacting assays with limited sample availability has been proposed and analyzed using COMSOL\'s multiphysics simulation package. The design is based on differential electroosmotic flow concept which has facilitated a ... Read More

Pseudo-3D Multiphysics Simulation of a Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy Reactor

M. Hackert-Oschätzchen[1], M. Penzel[1], P. Plänitz[2], A. Schubert[1][3]
[1]Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz, Germany
[2]GWT-TUD, Dresden, Germany
[3]Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU, Chemnitz, Germany

Gallium nitride (GaN) and its related nitride alloys with special physical properties are in technical areas of high interest. The growing of gallium nitride boules on non-native sapphire or silicon carbide requires complicated mechanisms of defect reduction in the lattice structure. ... Read More

Numerical Simulation of Vibrationally Active Ar-H2 Microwave Plasma

F. Bosi [1], M. Magarotto [2], P. de Carlo [2], M. Manente [2], F. Trezzolani [2], D. Pavarin [2], D. Melazzi [2], P. Alotto [1], R. Bertani [1],
[1] Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padova, Padova, Italy
[2] CISAS "G.Colombo", University of Padova, Padova, Italy

Microwave discharges have a wide range of applications, such as gas conversion, material processing and surface treatment; also they can provide an efficient way for dissociation of molecular gases as CO2 and N2O. Depending on the operating pressure and temperature, non-equilibrium ... Read More

CFD/Electromagnetics Interactions via Realistic Heat and Mass Transfer to Moist Substrates

G. Ruocco[1], M. V. De Bonis[2]
[1]Engineering College, University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy
[2]Institute of Food Science and Production, National Research Council, Bari, Italy

Localized convection heat and mass transfer can be intensified and optimized by providing exposure to electromagnetic energy. Conjugate heat and mass transfer are configured by solving the momentum, heat and mass transfer simultaneously in both solid (substrate, comprising of a two-phase ... Read More

Coupled Electric-Thermal-Fluid Analysis of High Voltage Bushing

G. Eriksson[1]
[1]ABB, Corporate Research, Västerås, Sweden

Modern power transmission systems are in general designed to operate at high voltages in order to reduce resistive losses generated by high currents. This, however, tends to increase the risk for dielectric breakdown or flashovers if the equipment is not properly designed to withstand ... Read More

Flow Focusing Droplet Generation Using Linear Vibration

A. Salari[1], C. Dalton[1]
[1]Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada

Flow focusing microchannels are widely used in droplet generation mechanisms. In this paper, the effect of linear vibration on the flow pattern in a flow focusing structure and the corresponding formed droplets were numerically investigated using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The ... Read More

Applicability of the Fracture Flow Interface to the Analysis of Piping in Granular Material

S. Bersan[1], C. Jommi[2], A. Koelewijn[3], P. Simonini[1]
[1]University of Padua, Padua, Italy
[2]Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands
[3]Deltares, Delft, The Netherlands

Piping is a kind of internal erosion that occurs under water retaining structures lying on a sandy soil. In an attempt to reproduce the growth of erosion channels in sand, a small scale physical model has been set up in the laboratory and a finite element model that reproduces the ... Read More

Microscale Simulation of Nanoparticles Transport in Porous Media for Groundwater Remediation

F. Messina[1], M. Icardi[1], D. Machisio[2], R. Sethi[1]
[1]Politecnico di Torino - DIATI, Torino, Italy
[2]Politecnico di Torino - DISAT, Torino, Italy

Nanoscale zerovalent iron is a promising reagent for the remediation of contaminated groundwater. The aim of the study is to simulate the transport of iron nanoparticles and their interaction with the porous media, their attachment and deposition on the soil grains. The particles ... Read More

Analysis and Design of Electromagnetic Pump

V. Teotia, S. Malhotra, K. Singh, and U. Mahapatra
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Liquid metal loops are used for heat removal and for the study of certain magneto-fluidic phenomenon like MHD (Magneto-Hydro Dynamic) effects. These loops operate at high temperatures and carry fluids that are invariably toxic in nature. Ensuring the purity of fluid in a closed loop ... Read More

A Simplified Numerical Model for Simulating Sliding Door and Surgical Staff Movement in an Operating Theater

C. Balocco[1]
