One of the major applications for dielectrophoresis is the selective trapping and fractionation in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, many-particle effects due to high concentrations of biological material around electrodes can cause a rapid decrease of trapping efficiency in ... Read More
While electrostatic actuators feature prominently among the most widely employed classes of actuators for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), conventional embodiments of these devices (e.g., parallel plate structures) notoriously suffer from several significant drawbacks. Most ... Read More
The aim of this work is the numerical study, by finite element analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics®, of the heat transfer and working temperature field of a photovoltaic panel under realistic wind and irradiation conditions. It is well-known that a great portion of the solar radiation ... Read More
The collection efficiency of aerosol particles on a ribbon in a turbulent flow is analyzed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The flow field is solved using Chemical Engineering module and particle tracing plots are obtained using equations of motion including Khan and Richardson drag force. A ... Read More
This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the coupled thermo-hydrodynamics and neutronics of circulating nuclear fuel systems in a nuclear reactor that adopts a molten salt mixture. This flows up through channels in a graphite moderated core and plays the role of both heat generator ... Read More
The need for fast, easy and cost-effective analysis of blood samples as well as our understanding of the functionality of cells and neurons are two rather pressing issues in the modern world. Both of these can be addressed by functional lab-on-a-chip systems, which have been designed and ... Read More
A quantification of spatial and temporal evolution of laser-induced plume would enhance the comprehension of high speed imaging results and allow optimizing the acquisition conditions for the emission spectroscopy. What temperature and concentrations of the evaporating species are ... Read More
The mixing characteristics and residence time distributions (RTDs) of a staggered herringbone microchannel have been investigated numerically by COMSOL Multiphysics and by particle tracking algorithms that incorporate diffusion via a random walk. All simulations were validated with ... Read More
Calorimetry is the method of choice for determining one of the most elementary physical quantities: heat, Q [in J]. Depending on the individual issue a wide range of techniques, devices and methods are available for users [1]. One approach is called isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC). It ... Read More
As gas turbine temperatures and component life requirements continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important to have a good understanding of the operating temperatures of their components. The objective of this study was to explorate whether a Hiemenz flow approximation based on ... Read More
