Design and Analysis of a New Energy Harvesting Device Based on Knudsen Effect

Zhang P., Du R., The Chinese University of HongKong, CN

In this paper, a new energy harvesting method based on Knudsen compressor is proposed. We first study the possibility of Knudsen compressor working in near atmosphere pressure by Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method which [...]

Gaseous Flows and Heat Transfer through Micro- and Nano-channels

Sun H., Wang P., Liu S., Song M., Faghri M., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

The overall object of this paper is a systematic study of gaseous flows and thermal transport in two-dimensional micro- and nano-channels using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The flows are often encountered in MEMS, [...]

Efficient DSMC Modeling Techniques for Micro/Nano Gas Flows

Masters N., Ye W., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

An efficient DSMC technique for modeling of low-speed gas flows has been developed. THis technique greatly reduces the inherent DSMC noise and thus is suitable for modeling micro/nano gas flows whose typical velocities are below [...]

Development of an Advanced Simulation System for the Analysis of Particle Dynamics in LASER based Protein Ion Sources

Hieke A., Ciphergen Biosystems, Inc., US

An advanced multi-physics simulation system henceforth referred to as GEMIOS (Gas and Electromagnetic Ion Optical Simulator) has been implemented which allows the computation of 3D trajectories and energy exchange of ion beams/clouds under the influence [...]
