CFD-Assisted Design and Optimization of a Pharmacokinetic Microfluidic System

Moeini Sedeh M., Khodadadi J.M., Hong J.W., Cramer K.A., Hamon M., Auburn University, US

In this research, a microfluidic system was designed and optimized to carry out in vitro pharmacokinetic studies of drug candidates in the liver. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was called on to assist in the system [...]

Gated Chemical Transport and Enhance Flow through Carbon Nanotube Membranes

Majumder M., Chopra N., Hinds B.J., University of KY, US

A promising architecture for ion-channel mimetics is a composite membrane structure containing vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, with inner core diameters of 7 nm, passing across a polystyrene matrix film. Plasma oxidation during the fabrication process [...]

A Surface Recombination Velocity Model for Liquid Flow in Microchannels

Zemel J.N., University of Pennsylvania and Scitefair International Inc, US

A number of years ago, Eyring introduced the free volume concept to explain why the viscosity of liquids decreased with increasing temperature while at the same time the density for most liquids also decreased (water [...]
