Convective instability in a thin liquid layer is observed in many technical systems [1] and is of interest to the self-organization theory. To date, however, only simple problems with the convection between flat plates are well studied [2]. In real systems and devices, convective flows ... Read More
The study of low energy electrons (0-300 eV) and especially secondary electrons (typically < 50 eV) are of technical importance in many areas such as Scanning Electron Microscopes [1], spacecraft charging [2], the electron cloud effect in particle accelerators [3] and in radiological ... Read More
In the field of coding and industrial marking areas, CIJ technology is based on high speed emission of ink drops (20 m/s) which are directed onto a moving printing medium. The printing quality depends, on one hand, on drops position on the media determined by the drop charge and the ... Read More
A plate Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) is composed of two parallel plates between which aerosol-laden air flows. A specific device charges the aerosol particles electrically before they enter the DMA. Applying a voltage difference between the plates allows to deflect the particles ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is a plasma thruster being researched at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been shown in Figure 1. It involves a helicon source along with an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) chamber. IEC is a fusion ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is an advanced space propulsion system being studied in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been depicted in Figure 1. An experimental setup is already being used to gather dynamics of plasma with the help of ... Read More
Computational fluid dynamics of particle-laden fluid flows through a 90-degree pipe elbow were completed at Reynolds numbers 1,000 and 10,000; for different elbow curvature ratios of 1.0, 1.5, and 2.5; and for particles with different Stokes numbers of 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0. ...

Electrospray Deposition (ESD) is a process used in manufacturing that utilizes a charged capillary to disperse a flowing liquid into a spray that deposits onto a grounded target substrate. The build-up of charge on the substrate can begin to deflect further spray, allowing the material ... Read More
