Modelling of the Oxygen Consumption of Cells in the Cell Culturing Platform

A. Niazi[1]
[1]School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom

A device for monitoring the oxygen consumption of cells has been developed, which consists of two parts; a cell culturing platform (CCP) and an oxygen sensing chip. The CCP possesses inlet and outlet pipes to direct the fluid under the test to the cell culturing chamber through the inlet ... Read More

Simulation of Mass Transfer in a Microfluidic Experiment Using the Moving Mesh Method

K. Weisbrod[1], R. Roberts[1], R. Chamberlin[1], S. Yarbro[1]
[1]Los Alamos National Lab, Los Alamos, NM, USA

Multiphase flow in a microreactor was studied numerically for two immiscible liquids. Validation of the model was sought by simulating the flow behavior and mass transfer characteristics of a neutralization reaction described in the literature. Contact angles, interfacial tension and the ... Read More

Modeling of a Three Inputs Two-Dimensional Geometry Microreactor

E. Robalinho[1], E. Cekinski[2]
[1]IPEN/CNEN-SP, São Paulo, SP, Brazil; Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE, São Paulo, SP, Brazil
[2]Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia IMT, São Paulo, Brazil; IPT-SP, São Paulo, SP, Brazil

This paper presents the results of modeling of a microreactor with three inputs geometry (or crow's-feet), in relation to distributions of velocities and concentrations. The objective of this work is the study of this kind of geometry with relation to fluid dynamics behavior, improving ... Read More

Increasing Heat Transfer in Microchannels with Surface Acoustic Waves

S. Berry[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA, USA

In this numerical study, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are evaluated as a potential disruptive flow technology for enhancing heat transfer in microchannels. Using COMSOL Multiphysics® software, the physics governing acoustics, single-phase-fluid flow and heat transfer are coupled. The ... Read More

Estimation of Fluid Pressure in the Process of Magneto-rheological Flow Finishing

S. Chothe[1], P. Ranjan[1], Dr. P.M. Pawar[1], A.B. Shinde[1]
[1]SVERI's College of Engineering, Pandharpur, Maharashtra, India

This paper presents the 3D model of pressure distribution in the process of magneto-rheological flow finishing. The effect of working gap on pressure distribution is studied using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Also, the effect of different viscosity of fluids on development of pressure ... Read More

Effect of Substrate Contact Angle on Ink Transfer in Flexographic Printing

F. E. Hizir[1], D. E. Hardt[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA

Flexography is a roll-based mass printing process used in manufacture of printed products such as sensors, self-cleaning surfaces, and flexible electronics. Flexography involves inking of a stamp wrapped around a roller, and the transfer of ink on the stamp surface to a printing ... Read More

Deformation of Stamp Features with Slanted Walls During Microcontact Printing

F. E. Hizir[1], H. M. Al-Qahtani[1, 2], D. E. Hardt[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
[2]King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

Microcontact printing is a method for depositing patterns of thin films or molecular monolayers on surfaces using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp for selective mechanical contact (Figure 1). Undesired deformation of the stamp features during printing affects printed pattern quality. ... Read More

Optimization Module Enables Hybrid Experimental-Numerical Algorithm for 3D Particle Image Velocimetry

M. Sigurdson[1], C. Meinhart[1], I. Mezic[1]
[1]Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California - Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA

In our study of chaotic mixing, 3D velocity measurements (u,v,w) are required for evaluation of a micro mixer using a mix-prediction algorithm. The hybrid approach presented here combines 2D measurements, an imperfect numerical model, and appropriate fitting parameters. Because our ... Read More

Fast Biofluid Transport of High Conductive Liquids Using AC Electrothermal Phenomenon, A Study on Substrate Characteristics

A. Salari[1], C. Dalton[1]
[1]University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada

AC electrothermal (ACET) micropumps are based on the temperature gradient caused by Joule heating or an external heat source in the bulk of an electrolyte. In this paper, a 2D simulation was performed to study the effect of substrate thickness and material (glass and silicon) for an ACET ... 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
