We present a model for plant dispersal in agricultural landscapes to evaluate the gene dispersal from genetically modified (GM) plants. Dispersal from seed and pollen is modeled with partial differential equations. In scenarios, we investigated the effect of roadside application of non ... Read More
This paper presents a simulation of the operation of a new type of droplet generation probe. This probe, consisting of two concentrically-arranged tubings, is immersed in a beaker of cell medium so that oil is pumped through the outer tubing at a pumping speed less than fluid is drawn ... Read More
Understanding the rock structure at nano to micro scale is of growing importance in geology, oil and gas, and hydrology. New approaches that relies on a variety of high resolution 3D imaging techniques offered tremendous potential. These new approaches, in the meanwhile, introduce ... Read More
Based on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology, the solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) offers an interesting solution for mass hydrogen production. This study proposes a multiphysics model to predict the SOEC behavior. A global approach and several electrochemical kinetic equations ... Read More
The study of multiphase flows inside the microfluidic devices has received much attention recently because of its applications in heat and mass transfer, mixing, microreaction, emulsification and most importantly in MEMS and lab-on-a-chip. We study the influence of an electric field on ... Read More
The understanding of the tracer migration in two-phase porous media systems and its reaction over the fluid-fluid interfaces is a challenging task important for a number of engineering applications, e.g. oil recovery, carbon capture and storage in geological reservoirs, remediation ... Read More
Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... Read More
In oil and gas industries, electrical heaters are often used to control the internal pipe temperature. One important criterion for such test, is to maintain a uniform temperature range during the test. The objective of this study was to evaluate the heat transfer of one design of the ... Read More
In optogenetics research it is highly desirable to have a method that can deliver light and excite individual neurons in the brain in a controllable and single cell manner. Working toward this goal, we are developing liquid microlenses with active electronics that enable both focusing ... Read More
微波辅助生物柴油生产越来越受到了人们的关注，但是，微波的不均匀加热也影响了微波辅助生物柴油的大规模生产。研究表明，连续流微波加热器可以有效地解决微波辅助生物柴油的批量生产问题[1]，螺旋推进器也可以改善加热均匀性，于是仿真带有螺旋推进器的连续流微波加热器的生物柴油生产过程，有利于优化连续流微波加热器的设计，对提高微波辅助生物柴油生产效率有重要的意义。 本文使用了电磁场、旋转机械流、流体传热和化学反应接口。电磁场中的介电系数是关于温度和物质浓度的函数，流体的热参量由流体各组分的质量比等效所得[2]。计算采用步进求解的方法，先在频域求解电磁场，所得的耗散功率代入流体传热 ... Read More
