Advanced Techniques for Predicting Mechanical Product Design via COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

S. Zhuang [1],
[1] CAEaid, Inc., Austin, TX, USA

Mechanical product design is crucial in many engineering field and lots of industries. CAE simulation has been widely applied for predicting virtual product design for a few decades to reduce the cost and shorten the design life cycle. Because of complicated geometry, material ... Read More

The Use of Finite Element Analysis in the Design of Oil-Water Separators

M. E. Wanas [1], Y. M. Elshazly [1], D. A. ElGayar [1],
[1] Chemical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt

Oil-water separators play an important role in several industries as well as in waste water treatment. However, no basic principles have been set to guarantee the designed separators would work according to the desired efficiency due to the effect various factors. Both time and money ... Read More

A Flow and Transport Model of Catalytic Multi-Pump Systems with Parametric Dependencies

A. Sen [1], D. Myers [1], A. Altemose [1],
[1] Department of Chemistry, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA

This poster studies catalytic micropumps and their ability to induce fluid flow on the microscale. The goal of the study is to design a long-distance, directed convective loop. An array of catalytic micropumps was constructed in the domain, comprised of two distinct catalysts in an ... Read More

Simulation of the Flow of an Autonomous Spherical Ball inside a Pipeline

W. Chalgham [1], A. C. Seibi [1], M. Mokhtari [1],
[1] University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, USA

One of the limitations of pipelines performance and structural integrity assessment is the continuous inspection of possible leaks due to corrosion or other types of failure mechanisms. Efforts to develop new technologies started several decades ago where different inspection techniques ... Read More

Acoustic Wave Crack Detection: A First Principles Approach

R. W. Pryor [1],
[1] Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA

Crack detection is and has been an active field of exploration, both theoretical and applied for a number of years. It is the belief of this author that the concepts presented herein explore a new methodology for the modeling and the detection of cracks and families of cracks in ... Read More

Control-Release Anesthetics to Enable an Integrated Anesthetic-MSC Therapeutic

T. Maguire [1,2], M. Davis [1], I. Marrero-Berrios [1], C. Zhu [1], C. Gaughan [2], J. Weinberg [3], D. Manchikalapati [3], J. SchianodiCola [3], R. S. Schloss [1], J. Yarmush [3], M. Yarmush [1],
[1] Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA
[2] BeauRidge Pharmaceuticals, New York, NY, USA
[3] Department of Anesthesiology, New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, NY, USA

Introduction: While general anesthetics control pain via consciousness regulation, local anesthetics (LAs) act by decreasing sensation in the area of administration by blocking nerve transmission to pain centers. Perioperative intra-articular administration of LAs is a commonly employed ... Read More

Modeling of the Singlet Oxygen Distribution in Photofrin-Photodynamic Therapy of the Plural Cavity

R. Penjweini [1], T. C. Zhu [1], M. M. Kim [1],
[1] Department of Radiation Oncology, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Photofrin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used after surgical resection at the University of Pennsylvania to treat the microscopic disease for malignant pleural mesothelioma and to increase survival rate. When Photofrin is exposed to laser light at 630 nm in well-oxygenated ... Read More

Effect of Viscosity of Food on Digestion and Nutrient Absorption in the Human Small Intestine

J. S. Karthikeyan [1], D. Salvi [1], M. V. Karwe [1],
[1] Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA

Digestion is the process of breaking down food into smaller components, by mechanical and enzymatic action in the digestive tract, so that the smaller nutrient molecules can be more easily absorbed in the intestinal tract. To study and analyze the human digestive process, different ... Read More

The Impact of Using Computer Models on Academic Performance of Engineering Students

M. Habibnezhad [1], J. Puckett [1], E. Musavi [1],
[1] Durham School of Architectural Engineering & Construction, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE, USA

Encouraging students to take on a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) major has recently been a top priority in the nation’s policy-making debates. STEM-related majors often time are deemed very difficult and demanding. Specifically, students tend to face difficulties to ... Read More

Sample Preconcentration in Channels with Nonuniform Surface Charge and Thick Electric Double Layers

A. Eden [1], C. McCallum [1], B. Storey [2], C. D. Meinhart [1], S. Pennathur [1],
[1] University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
[2] Olin College, Needham, MA, USA

We present a novel method for concentrating and focusing small analytes by taking advantage of the nonuniform ion distributions produced by thick electric double layers (EDLs) in nanochannels with heterogeneous surface charge. Specifically, we apply a voltage bias to a gate electrode ... Read More
