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

Direct Modeling of Packed Bed Channeling

R. Schunk[1], J. Knox[1], R. F. Coker[1]
[1]NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL, USA

An analysis to quantify the effects of packed bed channeling in the narrow passages of the ISS (International Space Station) CDRA (Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly) is presented. The CDRA contains two pelletized adsorbent beds to remove CO2 respired by the crew. Each CO2 adsorbent bed is ... Read More

Tuning Sensitivity to Ectopeptidase Rates in the Rat Hippocampus Using Numerical Simulations

Y. Ou[1], S. Weber[1]
[1]University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

We have created and optimized a multiphysics model in COMSOL Multiphysics® software that studies sensitivity to ectopeptidase rates in the rat hippocampus. Ectopeptidases are membrane-bound enzymes whose catalytic domains face the extracellular space (ECS) (Figure 1). They have ... Read More

Tri-Axial Square Helmholtz Coils System to Generate Uniform Magnetic Field Volume

A. F. Restrepo[1], E. Franco[1], C. R. Pinedo[1]
[1]Universidad del Valle, Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia

The study of the effects of magnetic field stimulation in biological systems require devices capable of generating homogenous magnetic fields and further guarantee a controlled and repeatable exposure to different samples involved in the experiment [1]. This work presents analysis and ... Read More

Simulation of a Polyimide Based Micromirror

A. Arevalo[1], S. Ilyas[2], D. Conchouso[1], I. G. Foulds[1,3]
[1]Computer, Electrical & Mathematical Sciences & Engineering Division (CEMSE), King Abdullah University of Science & Technology, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
[2]Physical Sciences & Engineering (PSE), King Abdullah University of Science & Technology, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
[3]School of Engineering, University of British Columbia - Okanagan, Vancouver, BC, Canada

The simulation of a micromirror using polyimide as the structural material is presented. The simulation was used to verify the initial design parameters and to explore the different characteristics of the electromechanical device. For simulation simplicity the electrodes are integrated ... Read More

The Geometrical Optimization of MSFL Pad Design by COMSOL Multiphysics® and Design of Experiments

T. Hao[1], J. M. Singer[1]
[1]GE Oil & Gas, Farnborough, UK

Introduction Micro-Spherically Focused Logging (MSFL) tool is a microresistivity open-hole logging tool designed to measure the resistivity of the flushed zone, a region of formation close to the borehole, independent of any mudcake on the borehole wall. Original designs of MSFL were ... Read More

Structural Optimization of the AISHa Ion Source

F. Noto[1], M. Piscopo[1], L. Celona[1], D. Cittadino[1], S. Gammino[1], G. Cuttone[1], G. Gallo[1], G. Schillaci[1], C. Campisano[2], L. Lo Nigro[3], G. Costa[3], A. Campisano[4]

[4]AkzoNobel (UK) Co. Ltd., Tyne and Wear, UK

We present quantitative nano-scale analysis of the 3D spatial structure of an anticorrosive aluminium epoxy barrier marine coating obtained by ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT) [1-3]. We then use COMSOL Multiphysics® software to perform simulations on the acquired real 3D ... Read More

Baffle Design: Tube-in-Shell Electrical Gas Heaters

K. Lund[1], S. Lord[2]
[1]Kurt Lund Consulting, San Diego, CA, USA
[2]SML Associates, Encinitas, CA, USA

It is frequently necessary to electrically heat gases; a convenient geometry is the familiar tube-in-shell heat exchanger, where the tube side is modified for electrical heater-rods, and the baffled shell side contains the flowing gas, as indicated in Fig. 1. However, this modification ... Read More

Influence of Axial Conduction in the Design of a Compact Recuperator for Catalytic Combustor Based Portable Power Generation

A. N. Smith[1], H. Nochetto[2], C. M. Waits[2]
