A Shape Inverse Approach Modelling Electro-Wetting
1. Abstract We model an electrified droplet spreading a solid surface. The model consists to seek a drop shape minimizing its total energy (capillary, electrostatic and gravitational). We derive the equations and the shape gradient; we detail the shape optimization algorithm and present some numerical results. Our numerical results fit the predictions of Lippman’s equation (plane capacitor appr...
متن کاملA Theoretical Mass Transfer Approach for Prediction of Droplets Growth Inside Supersonic Laval Nozzle
Proper estimation of droplet growth rate plays a crucial role on appropriate prediction of supersonic separators performance for separation of fine droplets from a gas stream. Up to now, all available researches employ empirical or semi-empirical correlations to define the relationship between droplet growth rate (dr/dt) and other operating variables such as temperatures (T and TL), Pressure (P...
متن کاملTransient Electro-Oosmotic Pumping in Rectangular Microchannels
Two-dimensional Poisson-Boltzmann and momentum equations are solved simultaneously to study the transient characteristics of electro-osmotic pumping in a rectangular microchannel. A finite difference scheme with variable grid spacing is used to calculate electric potential distribution. Time variations of velocity profiles are obtained by using a combined ADI-TDMA technique. Numerical solutions...
متن کاملKinetics of Propane Hydrate Formation in Agitated Reactor: A Mass Transfer Approach
Understanding the kinetics of gas hydrate formation is essential to model and predict the hydrate formation (or dissociation) process. In the present paper, we investigated the formation of pure propane gas hydrate as a former gas. In this regard, several experiments were conducted to measure the rate of hydrate formation under various pressures (410 to 510 kPa) and temperatures (274 K to 277 K...
متن کاملHeat Transfer and Fluid Flow through Microchannels – a theoretical approach
Three dimensional heat transfer and water flow characteristic in a set of rectangular microchannel heat sinks for advanced electronic systems investigated in this paper. The full Navier-Stoke’s approach is employed for this kind of narrow channels for the water flow assessments. The complete form of the energy equation accompanying the dissipation terms is also linked to the momentum equations....
