Numerical Simulation of the Solidification of Water-Based Nanofluid

El Hasadi Y.M.F., Khodadadi J.M., Auburn University, US

Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions which they consist particles in the size range of 100-1 nm. In the recent years nanofluids kept the attention of the scientific community due to their improved thermal physical properties compared [...]

Novel Chemistry and Dispersive Techniques for Diverse Applications

Hladik M., Brewer Science, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) do not disperse very easily in organic media or at low viscosities. Thus, to produce a nanomaterial coating that can be applied by various methods, such as screen printing or ink-jet printing, [...]

Prediction of Thermal Conductivity of Liquid Methane/Ethane-Cu Nanofluids via Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Babaei H., Khodadadi J.M., Auburn University, US

The improvement of thermal conductivity by suspending nanoparticles in two hydrocarbon-based nanofluids is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Base fluids are methane and ethane and nanoparticles are pure copper. Two temperatures for which [...]

Analytical investigation of nanofluids dispersion stability

Farzaneh H., Behzadmehr A., Samimi A., University of Sistan and Baluchestan, IR

Experimental and numerical investigations on nanofluids flows at different geometrical configurations and different thermo-fluid conditions show a significant enhancement on the convective heat transfer while the pumping power cost remains reasonable. However, many problems such [...]

Synthesis and Optimization of Metallic nanofluids using Electrical Explosion of Wire in Liquids

Park E.J., Park H-W., Park E.J., Park H-W., Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (, KR

This study has been focusing on controlling the size, oxidation, and agglomeration of the nanoparticle by adjusting the plasma of EEWL and the base fluid, including water, ethylene glycols, oil, polymeric solution and other common [...]

Fabrication of Magnetic Poly (ethylene glycol) Hydrogels Blocks Using Microfluidic System for Cell Patterning Techniques

Chang H.-Y., Fu C.-Y., Lin C.Y., Wang T.-P., National Tsing Hua University, TW

In this study, we developed a novel technique called magnetic hydrogel-based cell patterning (MHCP) to easily achieve heterotypic cell patterning in both of multi-well plate-based methods and microfluidic system. We also demonstrated that the material [...]

Self-alignment of Silicon Chips on Wafers: the Effect of Spreading and Wetting

Berthier J., Brakke K., Sanchez L., Di Cioccio L., CEA-LETI, FR

3D integration appears as the key to advanced microelectronic systems. While robotic methods experience difficulties to accommodate fabrication speed and alignment accuracy, self-assembly methods are promising due to their parallel aspect, which overcomes the main [...]

Microchannel for IOP Relief and Glaucoma Treatment

Barth D., Heureaux J., Pilapil B., Ponce de Leon P., Zhao K., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

An implantable biomedical device intended for glaucoma treatment was designed, modeled, fabricated, and tested. Glaucoma is a degenerative eye disease that is normally characterized by high Intraocular Pressure (IOP) and causes progressive vision loss. According [...]

System for Measuring Drop Volume and Consistency in Lab-on-Chip Applications

Kipman Y., Mehta P., ImageXpert Inc., US

A machine vision based system has been developed for measuring in-channel characteristics of droplets for lab-on-chip microfluidic applications. The small, fully integrated system can be used in R&D and in production and combines a high-powered [...]

Array-Nozzle EHD Print Head and its Drop-on-Demand Experimentation

Son S., Lee S., Lee W.H., Kim Y.J., An K., Choi J., Sin J., Lee S., Lee W.H., Wijesundara M., Stephanou H.E., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

EHD (electrohydrodynamics) printing has recently attracted attention for micro/nano size pattern devices due to it can make very small droplet than nozzle diameter and possibility of the use of various ink such as including metal, [...]
