Using Flow to Switch the Valency of Bacterial Capture on Engineered Surfaces Containing Immobilized Nanoparticles
No full textA comparison of homogenous and separated flow assumptions for adiabatic capillary flow
No full textHomogenous and separated flow models are investigated for use in modeling one-dimensional adiabatic capillary tube flow. While these methods have been utilized extensively within the literature, the current work provides a rigorous, quantitative comparison of their accuracy using recent experimental data. Simulations utilizing the working fluids R134a, R600a, and R744 are performed for both methods and validated against experimental data. The mean error of the homogenous flow method is 8.55%, 5.4%, and 8.13%, respectively for R134a, R600a, and R744. The mean error of the separated flow method is 5.77%, 4.57%, and 8.03%, respectively for R134a, R600a, and R744. The separated flow method was found to have a smaller mean error and to perform better than the homogenous method as determined by non-parametric statistical tests. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

No full textThis work presents a micromanufacturing method for constructing microsystems, which we term ‘micro-masonry’ based on individual manipulation, influenced by strategies for deterministic materials assembly using advanced forms of transfer printing. Analogous to masonry in construction sites, micro-masonry consists of the preparation, manipulation, and binding of microscale units to assemble microcomponents and microsystems. We used microtipped elastomeric stamps as manipulators and built three dimensional silicon microstructures [1]. Silicon units of varied shapes were fabricated in a suspended format on donors, retrieved, delivered, and placed on a target location on a receiver using microtipped stamps. Annealing of the assembled silicon units permanently bound them and completed the micro-masonry procedure
