Accurate bipolar-plate and flow-field layout is one crucial task for optimizing fuel cells. These cell components perform several functions, including charge transport or gas and water transport throughout the cell just to name a few. Overall, the design depends on the fuel cell ... En savoir plus

Investment casting is practised in both the automotive and aerospace industries, to produce casted components where a high-quality surface finish is critical. Vacuum induction melting (VIM) and direct pouring into an investment casting shell mould is an advantageous manufacturing ... En savoir plus

Electroosmotic flow of power-law fluids in a slit channel(1D) is analyzed. The governing equations are the Poisson–Boltzmann equation, the Cauchy momentum equation, Generalized Smoluchowski equation and the continuity equation are used to get shear stress, dynamic viscosity, and velocity ...

Metal hydride based thermal energy storage systems belong to the category of heat storage systems which rely on reversible thermo-chemical reactions to store and release heat. Specifically, these systems utilize metal/alloy hydride decomposition (endothermic) and formation (exothermic) ... En savoir plus

Introduction Fluid flow patterns in research or process-scale equipment where a fluid is contained between concentric rotating cylinders in the absence of bulk axial flow has received notable attention in the field of fluid mechanics. Annular flows occur in many practical applications, ... En savoir plus

Array-based technologies are important for many applications in drug discovery, microbiology and cell biology. A large-scale array of single cells allows high-throughput monitoring of behaviors of individual cells in parallel, avoiding the lack of cell specificity inherent to bulk ... En savoir plus

In this paper, we discuss a simplified finite element method simulation of surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line hydrogen sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics.  A delay line SAW sensor consists of a transmitting interdigital transducer (IDT) and a receiving IDT separated by a few ... En savoir plus

Electrospray is a well-known encapsulation method for preparing monodisperse nanoparticles from a multitude of different precursors. It has been used to produce inorganic and polymeric nanoparticles and to encapsulate bioactives having poor solubility in water. Electrospraying is a ... En savoir plus
