    No full text
    Viscous fingering instability, as one of the numerous fluid in-stabilities and mechanisms of pattern formation, is very com-mon in different fields of research. First studied experimentallyin an apparatus called a Hele-Shaw cell in 1898, it has beenwidely used, for example, as a model for porous media in lab-oratory testing. This paper provides a brief insight into themathematical model of the Saffman–Taylor instability (porescale viscous fingering) and the situations in which viscous fin-gering can be encountered. Since it is a morphogenetic insta-bility, it is usually considered a nuisance and in recent decadesmany scientists and researchers have focused on the ways toavoid its occurrence. For instance, the petroleum industry hasbeen continuously trying to discover the best solution for itscontrol since viscous fingering limits oil recovery in porousmedia. The review provides a historical overview of the phe-nomena and various methods that have been used to controlthis instability. The final part of the paper gives a summary andthe conclusions that have been drawn as the results of diversestudies.CONTACT Ivana Cvetkovic [email protected] Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universityof Belgrade, Belgrade 11000, Republic of Serbia© 2024 The Author(s).

    Rarefied gas flow through annular microtube at constant and equal wall temperatures

    No full text
    The coaxial microtubes, which can be transparent, flexible, and biocompatible, are often part of micro-electro-mechanical systems. This paper examines the steady, subsonic rarefied gas flow through an axisymmetric microtube with an annular cross-section, induced by pressure difference. The flow is considered compressible and non-isothermal, with constant inner and outer wall temperatures. The study uses continuum approach based on continuity, momentum and energy equations together with slip and temperature jump boundary conditions. The perturbation method is used and enables including effects of inertia, convection and expansion work. Hence, analytical solutions for velocity, pressure and temperature are obtained, which allows analysis of all named effects along with annular microtube geometry. These results provide optimizing microtube designs in practical applications. Regarding solutions are analytical, they can be useful as a criterion for validating the accuracy and reliability of numerical solutions of similar problems

    Challenges with Waste Material Obtained by 3D Printing

    No full text
    Today, the waste material obtained by 3D printing operations presents significant challenges due to the increasing global adoption of this technology, leading to serious environmental implications. The generation of plastic waste from unsuccessful prints and end-of-life products is a growing concern, impacting the circular economy. With a 26% annual growth rate in additive manufacturing, the amount of waste is rapidly increasing, necessitating effective waste management strategies. However, 3D printing offers advantages in waste reduction compared to traditional manufacturing methods, with only 40% waste generation compared to subtractive technologies and much of the waste being recyclable. The challenges of waste material obtained by 3D printing are numerous and require a comprehensive approach to waste management and recycling. Moreover, leveraging the abundant opportunities for reusing materials and developing sustainable composite filaments, 3D printing can contribute to environmental sustainability and the principles of circular economy

    Comparative Studies of the Structural and Physicochemical Properties of the First Fullerene Derivative FD-C60 (Fullerenol) and Second Fullerene Derivate SD-C60 (3HFWC)

    Get PDF
    In order to maximally reduce the toxicity of fullerenol (the first derivative of C60, FD-C60), and increase its biomedical efficiency, the second derivative SD-C60 (3HFWC, Hyper-Harmonized Hydroxylated Fullerene Water Complex) was created. Several different methods were applied in the comparative characterization of FD-C60 and SD-C60 with the same OH groups in their core. FD-C60 as an individual structure was about 1.3 nm in size, while SD-C60 as an individual structure was 10–30 nm in size. Based on ten physicochemical methods and techniques, FD-C60 and SD-C60 were found to be two different substances in terms of size, structure, and physicochemical properties; FD-C60, at 100 °C, had endothermic characteristics, while SD-C60, at 133 °C, had exothermic characteristics; FD-C60 did not have water layers, while SD-C60 had water layers; the zeta potential of FD-C60 was −25.85 mV, while it was −43.29 mV for SD-C60. SD-C60 is a promising substance for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals

    Computation of pairs of related Gauss-type quadrature rules

    No full text
    The evaluation of Gauss-type quadrature rules is an important topic in scientific computing. To determine estimates or bounds for the quadrature error of a Gauss rule often another related quadrature rule is evaluated, such as an associated Gauss-Radau or Gauss-Lobatto rule, an anti-Gauss rule, an averaged rule, an optimal averaged rule, or a Gauss-Kronrod rule when the latter exists. We discuss how pairs of a Gauss rule and a related Gauss-type quadrature rule can be computed efficiently by a divide-and-conquer method

    Reconfigurable open architecture control system with integrated digital twin for 3-axis woodworking milling machine

    No full text
    This study proposes a reconfigurable open architecture control system for the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) woodworking educational machine tool called “EMCO F1 CNC”. On this machine physical hardware reconfiguration (spindle position can be vertical and horizontal) is possible. The idea was to develop a control system that would follow the configuration changes of the machine tool. The educational character of the machine and its reconfigurability demand possibilities for machining programme simulations in order to determine optimal workpiece position in the workspace and programme verification. Those are the reasons for developing a virtual machine tool integrated with the control system as a digital twin. The study presents a novel methodology for the development of control systems, merging the concept of “virtual commissioning” with iterative errordriven processes. The objective was to develop a dynamic control system capable of promptly adjusting to kinematics changes in real time. In a wood machining experiment, a test workpiece for machine tools for both machine configurations verified the operation of the developed control system

    Овладавање технологијом серијскe производње микро-електро- механичких-система (МЕМС-а) крајем прошлог века, довело je до тога да минијатурни уређаји данас буду широко распрострањени и примењиви у свим областима људског деловања. Интензивна употреба микроуређаја у најразличитије сврхе утицала је на снажан развој многих области науке. Струјања флуида настала услед разлике притисака или кретања зидова канала, као и феномени транспорта одвијају се у микромоторима, микролежајима, микропумпама, микротурбинама, микромлазницима, микровентилима и микрофилтерима који су саставни део МЕМС-a. Таква струјања могу да обезбеде погон микромотора, омогуће убризгавање лекова, хлађење електронских уређаја, одговарајућу носивост микролежаја и могу имати разне друге примене. Све то намеће потребу за изучавањем струјања флуида у микроканалима, а добијени резултати имају директну примену приликом планирања, конструисања и експлоатације МЕМС-a. У монографији се анализирају проблеми неизотермског, дводимензијског, стационарног, стишљивог, дозвучног струјања гаса у микроканалима променљивог попречног пресека (конвергентном, дивергентном и каналу константне висине). Како су у питању микрострујања ефекат разређености гаса узима се у обзир. Дају се оригинална аналитичка решења за неизотермска струјања гаса која се одвијају услед разлике притисaка на улазу и излазу микроканала. Процедура решавања изложена у монографији се може применити и код микрострујања која се остварују смицањем, тј. кретањем зидова микроканала: код микро-Куетовог и струјања гаса у микролежајима. Струјање гаса третира се макроскопски, решавањем система једначина континуума: једначине континуитета, Навије-Стоксове једначине и једначине енергије. Користе се гранични услови Максвел- Смолуковског првог реда за брзину клизања и температурски скок гаса на зиду, тако да добијена решења покривају области континуума и струјања гаса са клизањем. Претпоставља се да је струјање потпуно развијено и да се све величине споро мењају у подужном правцу. Узима се у обзир зависност динамичке вискозности и топлотне проводљивости од температуре према молекуларном моделу чврстих сфера. Наведене претпоставке, уз познату везу Маховог, Кнудсеновог и Рејнолдсовог броја омогућавају прецизну процену реда величине сваког члана система основних једначина и граничних услова понаособ. С обзиром на величину Рејнолдсовог броја издвајају се два карактеристична случаја која се одвојено решавају: струјање при малим и струјање при умерено великим вредностима Рејнолдсовог броја. Аналитичка решења се претпостављају у облику пертурбационих редова по Кнудсеновом броју и добијају решавањем одговарајућих система основних једначина и граничних услова. У монографији се добијају решења за прве две апроксимације притиска, брзине и температуре за сваки од наведених услова струјања гаса. Прва апроксимација одговара струјању гаса у условима континуума, док друга укључује ефекат разређености и остале ефекте другог реда зависно од случаја који се разматра. Резултати приказани у монографији се слажу са експерименталним резултатима из доступне литературе. Добијени аналитички резултати су експлицитни и једноставни за употребу, па могу служити као релевантни у истраживањима везаним за неизотермска микрострујања гасова.Mastering the production technology of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) and especially their serial production at the end of the last century, has given rise to a wide adoption and ubiquitous applicability of miniature devices in all areas of human activity. The intensive use of microdevices for various purposes has influenced development of many scientific fields. Pressure-driven or shear-driven fluid flows, as well as transport phenomena, take place in micromotors, microbearings, micropumps, microturbines, microjets, microvalves and microfilters, which are integral parts of MEMS. Such flows can drive micromotors, inject drugs, cool electronic devices, ensure the appropriate load capacity of microbearings and can have various other applications. Тhis calls for a research of fluid flow in microchannels, while the achieved results may have a direct application in design, construction and exploitation of MEMS. This monograph analyzes the problems of nonisothermal, twodimensional, steady, compressible, subsonic gas flow in microchannels of variable cross-section (convergent, divergent and channel of constant height). The microflows are analised, so the effect of gas rarefaction has to be considered. The original analytical solutions are given for nonisothermal, pressure-driven gas microflows that take place due to the pressure difference at the entrance and the exit of the microchannel. The solution procedure presented in the monograph can also be applied to shear-driven microflows, e.g. in micro Couette gas flow and gas flow in micro bearings. The gas flow is treated macroscopically, using the system of continuum equations: the continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy equation. First-order Maxwell-Smoluchowski boundary conditions are used for the slip velocity and gas temperature jump at the wall, so that the obtained solutions cover the continuum and slip gas flow regions. It is assumed that the flow is fully developed and that all quantities change slowly in the streamwise direction. The dependence of dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity on temperature is considered according to the molecular model of solid spheres. The mentioned assumptions, along with the known relation of Mach, Knudsen and Reynolds numbers, enable a precise estimation of the order of magnitude of each term of the system of equations and boundary conditions. Considering the value of the Reynolds number there are two characteristic cases which are solved separately: flow at low and flow at moderately high values of the Reynolds number. Analytical solutions are assumed in the form of perturbation series according to the Knudsen number and are obtained by solving the corresponding systems of equations and boundary conditions. The monograph provides the solutions for the first two approximations of pressure, velocity and temperature for each of the specified gas flow conditions. The first approximation corresponds to the gas flow in continuum conditions, while the second one includes the rarefaction effect and other second-order effects depending on the case under consideration. The results presented in the monograph are in a good agreement with the experimental results from the available literature. The obtained analytical results are explicit and easy to reproduce, so they can serve as benchmarks in research related to non-isothermal gas microflows
