Laser surface texturing has emerged as a promising texturing technique due to properties such as excellent repeatability, non-contact process, the ability to achieve small-size features and high-quality finishing. The work described here is part of the H2020 research program called SHARK ... En savoir plus

According to a World Health Organization report, more than 360 million people suffer from hearing loss [1]. The majority of patients can usually be fitted with conventional hearing aids. These devices are subject to continuous further development and optimization - connecting the ... En savoir plus

Bread dough is often described as a dispersion of gas cells in a continuous gluten/starch matrix [1]. The final bread crumb structure is strongly related to gas cell walls (GCWs) rupture during baking. At the end of the proofing and during baking, part of the thinnest GCWs between ... En savoir plus

The design of highly-sensitive thermoelectric microfluidic sensors for the characterization of biochemical processes is an important area of engineering research. This study reports three-dimensional numerical analysis of the critical design parameters of a continuous-flow biosensor with ... En savoir plus

Amplitude of acoustic waves can be magnified by conical or concave waveguides, like in ear trumpets or fjords (surface waves). The simplest way realizing a capable device is a conical waveguide with a target to be treated in the top of the cone, and a spherical actor or acoustic exciter ... En savoir plus

The main focus of the present study is the parametric investigation of the influence of viscosity on breakup dynamics of the non-Newtonian sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) droplets. It presents the numerical simulations of the fluid dynamics of CMC droplets with shear-thinning ... En savoir plus

In solution, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (structure shown in Fig. 1) can form a boundary film on metal surfaces. Previous studies have extensively investigated the characteristics of such surfactant films experimentally [1][2][3]. A dependency of SDS surface concentration and film ... En savoir plus

Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are commonly used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries for heat transfer, crystallization, and other continuous processes. One of the factor posing difficulties to heat transfer is viscosity. Highly viscous fluids tend to generate ... En savoir plus

Dynamic measurement of magnetic particles in continuous flow devices is made very difficult by the limitations imposed by the sensors themselves. Thus, certain sensor layouts are restricted to either number sensitive or spatial resolutive measurements of magnetic particles. We ... En savoir plus

INTRODUCTION: Microfluidics, as a crucial technology of recent years, enables numerous applications for Point-of-Care-Testing such as Lab-on-Chip-Systems (LOC) or Micro-Total-Analysis-Systems (µTAS) and is exceptionally well-suited for cell sorting or DNA trapping. Especially the ... En savoir plus
