Effect of Local Deformation on the Emission Energy of Quantum Dots in a Flexible Tube
Strain induced by local deformation of a flexible micrometer-sized semiconductor tube is quantified by modeling a ball pressing on the tube wall. By changing the pressing condition, we are able to change the strain state of the tube wall incorporating self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) in ... En savoir plus

Mixing and Residence Time Distribution Studies in Microchannels with Floor Herringbone Structures
The mixing characteristics and residence time distributions (RTDs) of a staggered herringbone microchannel have been investigated numerically by COMSOL Multiphysics and by particle tracking algorithms that incorporate diffusion via a random walk. All simulations were validated with ... En savoir plus
Simulation of the Acoustic Environment for the Manufacture of Graded Porosity Materials by Sonication
Many materials require functionally graded cellular microstructures whose porosity is engineered to meet specific requirements of diverse applications. It has been shown in previous work that the bubble growth rate of a polymeric foam can be influenced by the surrounding acoustic ... En savoir plus
Study of the CO2 Transfer Rate in a Reacting Flow for the Refined Sodium Bicarbonate Production Process
This work deals with the quantification of the CO2 transfer rate from a bubble to the surrounding liquid in a bubble column. A model is successfully developed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The validated model is used to study the enhancement influence of chemical reactions on the transfer ... En savoir plus
Finite Element Analysis of Ferrofluid Cooling of Heat Generating Devices
An external magnetic field imposed on a ferrofluid with a temperature gradient, results in a non-uniform magnetic body force, which leads to a form of heat transfer called thermomagnetic convection. A magnet placed near the device will always attract the colder ferrofluid more than ... En savoir plus
