Hemodynamic Analyses of Different Stent Strut Configurations in the Carotid Artery
Get PDFVascular stents are essential for treating blockages in the carotid artery, as they restore blood flow and diminish the risk of strokes. However, stents with poor strut configuration can disrupt normal blood flow, leading to turbulence and vortex formation, which may result in low shear stress and an increased potential for clot formation. This study explores the hemodynamic effects of three stent designs with distinct hemodynamic profiles: Type 1 (rectangular struts), Type 2 (hybrid cells), and Type 3 (helical pattern). This study examines the effectiveness of specific stent designs in reducing flow disturbances within a Y-shaped carotid artery model, focusing on three critical locations: the proximal inlet, just before bifurcation, and the distal segment of one daughter branch. In this study, the blood was modeled as a non-Newtonian fluid governed by a Carreau-Yasuda viscosity model using ANSYS. Key parameters included an inlet velocity of 0.5 m/s, infinite shear viscosity of 0.0035 Pa·s, and zero shear viscosity of 0.056 Pa·s. The findings indicate that both stent mesh configuration and implantation location significantly influence local flow dynamics that lead to increased recirculation and eddy formation near the bifurcation, while others facilitated smoother flow, thereby decreasing the risk of thrombosis. Type 3 demonstrated superior hemodynamic performance with balanced wall shear stress (WSS) distribution (peak WSS = 3.025 Pa) and minimal flow disruption, suggesting its potential to reduce thrombosis risk compared to Type 1 and 2 designs. This study highlights the importance of integrating advanced stent designs with anatomically informed placement to enhance flow dynamics and minimise thrombus formation
Characterisation of Cassava Peel-Derived Silica at Different Combustion Temperatures
Get PDFThe growing need for sustainable materials and the environmental burden of agro industrial waste highlight the urgency of transforming biomass into high value resources. Cassava peel, typically discarded as waste, contains silica a valuable mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. This study looks at the possibility of using cassava peel, which is a common waste product from agriculture and industry, as a long-term source of high-purity silica by controlled burning (400–800 °C). Acid leaching and drying process. FTIR, SEM, and TGA were used to look at the structural and thermal properties of the silica. The results showed that silica produced at 600–700°C had the best properties, with the 700°C sample achieving the highest silica yield of 54.3%, silicon content of 41.45wt%, and demonstrating sharp FTIR peaks at 1021cm⁻¹ and 898cm⁻¹ indicating a well-formed amorphous structure. It also exhibited the lowest total weight loss in TGA analysis and a moderate residue of 14.07%, confirming superior thermal stability and high purity. These properties are comparable to those of commercial silica, suggesting its potential as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly filler for polymers. This also shows how useful agricultural waste can be in developing sustainable materials engineering
Statistical Analysis of High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering Parameters on the Growth and Composition of AlN Thin Films
Get PDFThis study presents an experimental investigation of Aluminium Nitride (AlN) thin film deposition using High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS). The main goal is to investigate the significant effect of HiPIMS sputtering parameters on the growth and chemical composition of the AlN thin film. A Design of Experiments (DoE) approach is used to conduct interaction studies among the common sputtering parameters, such as sputtering power, working pressure, and the Argon (Ar) to Nitrogen (N2) ratio. The 2k factorial design is specifically used in this case. The main plot effect demonstrates that the sputtering power was the most significant factor in AlN thin film growth, whereas the growth was inversely proportional to working pressure. The working pressure had a significant impact on the oxygen concentration of the AlN thin films. It was discovered that lower working pressure and higher HiPIMS power were chosen to obtain a balanced stoichiometry with less oxygen concentration. The strong preferred (002) plane orientation of AlN on Silicon, Si (111) substrate produced a with the lowest oxygen content of 5.4% by weight. The results of this work will aid in understanding HiPIMS capabilities and in streamlining the deposition procedure to produce AlN thin films of better quality for usage in piezoelectric and optoelectronic applications
Design of RoF-VLC Based DWDM Communication System
Get PDFRadio over Fiber with Visible Light Communication system (RoF-VLC) is a promising technology that integrates the benefits of optical fiber communication and wireless transmission. This abstract presents a novel approach to enhance the RoF system by integrating VLC with millimeter-wave (mm Wave) technology, leveraging the advantages of both systems. The proposed system utilizes mmWave signals over a single optical fiber link through a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to enable the simultaneous transmission of multiple VLC system. On the other hand, mm Wave technology leverages the abundant bandwidth available in the millimeter-wave frequency range, enabling high-capacity wireless communication. By combining these technologies, the proposed system achieves high-speed data transmission and increased network capacity. WDM technology plays a crucial role in the proposed system by enabling the simultaneous transmission of VLC and mm Wave signals over a single optical fiber. The RoF-VLC system based on WDM technology is built and simulated using OptiSystem software, with four WDM channels at 450 nm, 450.8 nm, 451.6 nm, and 452.4 nm as an optical source of VLC system and a photodetector as a receiver. Each channel with a 40 GHz radio signal is transmitted over a 40 km of fiber link and a 3 m of VLC channel. This proposed design of RoF-VLC system based on WDM has been analyzed based on the effect of propagation distance (km), modulation format, data rate, and input power. The performance analysis show that this system is achieved by using the values of BER at 2.6355e-009 for channel 1, 7.54389e-010 for channel 2, 5.39904e-010 for channel 3, and 2.45532e-010 for channel 4
Characterization and Optimization of Si-FinFET Structure Based on Gate Length and Working Temperature
Get PDFThe ability to use a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) as a nano-temperature sensor is discussed in this research along with the transistor’s temperature sensitivity. Using the multi-gate field effect transistor (MuGFET) modeling tool, the temperature characteristics of FinFET are investigated. Once the current-voltage characteristics at different temperatures and gate lengths (Lg = 7, 10, and 20 nm) are simulated, the temperature sensitivity of FinFETs is computed considering the metal oxide semiconductor diode mode connection. The best temperature sensitivity of the FinFET is observed based on the largest ?I in the operating voltage VDD range of 0–1 V. Furthermore, between 7 and 20 nm, the FinFET’s temperature sensitivity increased linearly with channel length
