Viscous damping has a significant effect on dynamic performance of the resonators operating within fluid. This work is aimed to find the viscous damping for MEMS torsional paddle operating in air. Interaction of moving structure with the fluid requires a complicated and challenging ... En savoir plus

Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... En savoir plus

Macroscopic modeling of fluid flow and thermal diffusion, in a porous medium, requires the description of equivalent properties (permeability, conductivity and diffusivity). However, depending on the microstructure topology of the porous medium and the fluid flow regime at the ... En savoir plus

Process Hardware for heating, etching and plasma deposition in vacuum processes on Silicon wafers or glass substrates face challenging requirements due to very shallow and extended structures. Molecular Flow calculations are used to evaluate staggered shields with the aim to protect ... En savoir plus

Atomic layer deposition(ALD) is one proven method to deposit ultra-thin films. ALD is advantageous for its atomic-level thickness control and conformity; leading to high quality films. Slow deposition rates for conventional ALD contribute to the impracticality of utilization of this ... En savoir plus

Introduction Most current thermoregulation models represent the body in significantly simplified forms, e.g., cylinders or spheres. These simple geometries do not fully represent the complexity of bones, organs, etc. contained in the human body. Modern medical technologies allow for more ... En savoir plus

Introduction: A small-scale supersonic wind tunnel can represent a convenient platform for supersonic flow testing. The scale considered in this work, with maximum cross-sectional area of 1”x1”, requires simpler structure in addition to the low budget costs and minor space ... En savoir plus

The present study manifests the several ground breaking flow phenomena arising out of hydrodynamic interactions between two microorganisms swimming inside a microchannel with close proximity. The results theorized in the present investigation scrutinizes the varying behavior of the ... En savoir plus

Laser additive manufacturing has become an interesting field of engineering which is revolutionizing industrial processes. Selective Laser melting (SLM) is a widely used additive manufacturing technique for 3D printing of metal structures. This process has a particular complexity in ... En savoir plus

In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... En savoir plus
