Iouri Balachov is a Senior Scientist at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA) where he is leading development of Direct Carbon Fuel Cell technology for clean and efficient power generation from coal, biomass, and a wide variety of carbon containing fuels. Prior to SRI he was an engineer at ... 詳細を見る

Capillary effects are common in microfluidics due to large surface-to-volume ratio of flows inside microchannels. In biological or chemical analysis, capillary flow is used for the transport of liquid and mixing enhancement, without applying any external means. It’s used in biochemical ... 詳細を見る

Gas-liquid falling film microreactors carry out fast exothermic and mass transfer limited reactions. Since the major rate limiting steps occur on the liquid side, it is important to account for a realistic liquid film profile within the reactor simulation. Based on realistic channel ... 詳細を見る

Cantilever vibration in fluid environment is probably one of the most common Fluid Structure Interaction problems in the field of Micro/Nano Electro Mechanical Systems. Usually the effect of fluid on cantilever oscillation is characterized in terms of mode resonance frequencies and ... 詳細を見る

High power Terahertz (THz) sources have become a topic of great interest for a wide variety of applications from medical science to security systems and from material science to telecommunication. The high output power of these THz sources mainly depends upon high current density and ... 詳細を見る

Oxygen delignification is a technology established worldwide and a common operation in pulp mills that use Kraft cooking. The reasons for using this technology are the reduction of organochlorine compounds in the effluents, and economy of chemicals in the bleaching stage. The objective ... 詳細を見る

When a less viscous fluid displaces a more viscous one in a porous medium or Hele-Shaw cell, the interface between the two miscible fluids does not remain flat and deforms into fingers growing in time [1]. It occurs due to the faster movement of less viscous fluid than the more viscous ... 詳細を見る

Direct nose-to-brain drug delivery circumvents the blood-brain-barrier and has multiple advantages over intravenous delivery. However, its application is limited by the extremely low delivery efficiency to the olfactory region. This study evaluated the feasibility of targeted drug ... 詳細を見る

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a method for cell manipulation without physical contact in lab-on-chip devices, since it exploits the dielectric properties of cells suspended in a microfluidic sample, under the action of locally generated high-gradient electric fields. The DEP platform that ... 詳細を見る

Understanding the flow fields at the micro-scale is a key to develop methods of successfully mixing fluids for micro-scale applications. This paper investigates flow characteristics and mixing of three different geometries in micro-channel. A Circular groove micro mixer has been designed ... 詳細を見る
