Transdermal Drug Delivery with Permeation Enhancer

A. Kermani [1], N. Elabbasi [1]
[1] Veryst Engineering, Needham, MA, USA

Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is used to deliver drugs through the skin as an alternative to oral, intravascular, and subcutaneous routes. While there are many advantages to TDD, skin is a very effective barrier and provides resistance to drug delivery. To improve drug delivery ... Read More

Pore-Level Bénard–Marangoni Convection in Microgravity

P. Mohammadmoradi [1], A. Kantzas [1],
[1] University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada

Pore-level displacement of heavy-oil during thermal operations such as SAGD and CSS is a complex multi-scale phenomenon. As gravity drainage is the main depletion mechanism within the intergranular pore space, the surface tension-related phenomena are dominant in intra-granular micro ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Software Simulation Application for Thermoplastics Viscosity Measurement

Q. Guo [1], S. Ahmed [2],
[1] EHC Canada, Inc., Oshawa, ON, Canada
[2] University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa, ON, Canada

Present study discusses a new method of how to apply numerical simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to improve the accuracy of polymer melts viscosity measurements. The main emphasis is placed on evaluating the effects of entrance and exit geometry of a capillary rheometer on ... Read More

Reynolds Number and Geometry Configuration Effect on Secondary Flows in S-Shaped Circular Bends

O. Ayala [1], M. F. Degenring Oliveira [2], P. Loures [2],
[1] Department of Engineering Technology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA
[2] Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, CAPES, Brasilia DF, Brazil

Reynolds Numbers effect: In the first bend, the higher the Reynolds number, the longer the first pair of vorticities stays attached to the wall. In the second bend, the higher Reynolds Numbers, the secondary flow from the first bend dominates. Curvature Radius effect: The smaller the ... Read More

Thermal Corrective Devices for Advanced Gravitational Wave Interferometers

M. Kasprzack [1], J. Ramette [2],
[1] Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA, USA
[2] Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, MI, USA

The advanced gravitational wave detectors require injecting a high continuous power laser into the optical cavities of the interferometers to reach their design sensitivity. To mitigate the thermal aberrations created by absorption of this high power load into the various optical ... Read More

Heat Transfer Optimization of a Solar Radiation Concrete Oven for Rural Areas

I. Abu-Mahfouz [1], G. F. Mathews IV [1], M. J. Young [1],
[1] Penn State University Harrisburg, Middletown, PA, USA

The process of creating healthy food and drinking water typically requires electricity and fuel sources that are not available in rural areas. Africa has an abundance of solar radiation which when properly harnessed creates a viable heating source for cooking food and purifying water. ... Read More

Extraordinary Optical Transmission in Copper-Based Devices at Terahertz Frequencies

S. Almousa [1], J. A. Deibel [1],
[1] Department of Physics, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA

While low frequency light is poorly transmitted through an aperture in a conductive thin film, in the phenomenon known as extraordinary optical transmission (EOT), a narrow band of selected frequencies are transmitted when incident on an array of subwavelength periodic apertures where ...

Optimizing the Fluorescence of Diamond Color Centers Encapsulated into Core-Shell Nano-Resonators

M. Csete [1], L. Z. Szabó [1], A. Szenes [1], B. Bánhelyi [2], T. Csendes [2], G. Szabó [1]
[1] Department of Optics and Quantum Electronics, University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary
[2] Institute of Informatics, University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary

INTRODUCTION Enhancement of a single-photon emission is a great demand in recent science and applications, including development novel class of light sources, encoded information transfer and biological imaging [1, 2, 3]. Fluorescence can be improved through excitation and emission ... Read More

Efficiency of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) with Airfoil Pitch Control

J. Ma [1], C. Koutsougeras [2], H. Luo [2],
[1] Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX, USA
[2] Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, LA, USA

In this work, the CFD Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to study the efficiency of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) with independently pivoting airfoils so that wind attack angles of these airfoils are adjustable. The work demonstrates how the efficiency of the VAWT is ... Read More

Radio Frequency Tissue Ablation Simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

N. Elabbasi [1], M. Hancock [1],
[1] Veryst Engineering, Needham, MA, USA

Radiofrequency (RF) tissue ablation is commonly used to treat medical conditions involving dysfunctional tissue especially in the heart, kidneys, lungs, bones, or liver. An electrode at the tip of a catheter delivers high frequency current (350-500 kHz) to the targeted tissue causing it ... Read More
