[1] Research Reactors Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA
[2] Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology, East Elmhurst, NY, USA

In order to qualify experiments for in-vessel irradiation at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, safety assessments need to be completed and documented to ensure adequate target cooling and structural integrity. Previously, finite element analysis ... Read More

Modeling Two Phase Fluid Flow in High Speed Counter Current Chromatography

G. Stevens [1], K. Weisbrod [1], R. Chamberlin [1], S. Yarbro [1],
[1] Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA

High-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC) is a unique process presenting possibilities for efficient separations by creating a large interfacial area between two phases in counter current flow. Millifluidic channels rotate about both planetary and solar axes to create a rapidly ... Read More

Mathematical Modeling of Drug Transport in Brain Tumors

Y. Guo [1], M. O. Bernabeu [2], C. D. Arvanitis [1],
[1] Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA
[2] University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers (BBB and BTB) constitute a major obstacle to the transport of therapeutics in brain tumors. Focused ultrasound (FUS), when combined with circulating microbubbles, provides a noninvasive method to locally and transiently disrupt the BBB/BTB. ... Read More

Improving Thermal Effect on Biological Tissue using Multiphysics Simulation and Shape Optimization

A. Ward [1],
[1] System Insight Engineering, Centennial, CO, USA

As minimally invasive and robotic surgical devices get smaller, designing precise energy delivery to create the desired tissue effect becomes a key component in product development. With many interdependent physical phenomena occurring simultaneously, it becomes necessary to use tools ... Read More

Evaporative Cooling in Solar Absorption Chiller

J. Ma [1], M. J. Suh [1],
[1] Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX, USA

Solar cooling systems based on evaporation and absorption processes have been actively studied and different mechanisms based on various refrigerants are designed and developed. Amongst these systems, a single-stage close cycle design utilizing lithium bromide salt and water (LiBr-H2O) ... Read More

Dissolution Modeling of Uniform Aqueous Droplets in Two-Phase Flow in a Microfluidic Device

S. Onel [1, 2, 3, 4], U. Okumus [1], M. Toner [2, 3, 4],
[1] Department of Chemical Engineering, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey
[2] Department of Surgery, Center for Engineering in Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA
[3] Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA
[4] Shriners Hospitals for Children - Boston, Boston, MA, USA

Safe preservation of mammalian cells for long term is essential for medical and pharmaceutical industries. Cryopreservation by conventional slow freezing and by vitrification below freezing temperatures are the most effective biopreservation methods compared to in vitro culture at ... Read More

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of the NASA Titan Wind Tunnel

S. E. H. Sakimoto [1, 2], D. M. Burr [3], S. L. Sutton [3],
[1] Space Science Institute, Boulder, CO, USA
[2] Department of Geology, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA
[3] Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Tennessee - Knoxville, Knoxville, TN, USA

The equatorial region of Titan, the largest satellite of Saturn, has extensive expanses of aeolian dunes revealed in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and suggested to be composed of organics or organic-coated water ice. The dunes are among the youngest surface features and appear to ... Read More

A Microfluidic Platform for Electrochemical Concentration and Detection

C. F. Ivory [1], D. E. Molina [1],
[1] Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA

A poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic platform with a hot-embossed microchannel, 150 mm wide and 20 mm deep, was developed for multiple purpose detection using electrochemical methods. This device is able to accommodate a three-electrode system encased in 1/16" diameter PEEK ... Read More

L. D. Wittwer [1], M. Peters [1], S. Aland [2], D. Iber [1],
[1] ETH Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland
[2] University of Applied Sciences, Dresden, Germany

Organogenesis, the genesis of organs during embryonic development, is an active research field involving biologists, mathematicians and computational researchers. Fundamental questions of the formation of shape and the control of growth are still not answered. We focus on the development ... Read More

Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach to Evaluate Electrostatic Precipitator Performance

M. Ahmadi [1]
[1] Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

Electrostatic precipitation is an extremely efficient way of filtering fine particles from the airstream. Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) can control airborne emission without significantly slowing down the rate of flow, because of the low pressure drop across this type of filters. A ... Read More
