Electromagnetic Stirring of Steel: Effect of Stirrer Design on Mixing in Horizontal Electromagnetic Stirring of Steel Slabs

Electromagnetic stirring is widely used in continuous casting of steel as a means to improve homogeneity of cast slabs. Industrial experience has shown that stirrer design and operating conditions have a strong influence on the metallurgical quality of the cast slab. This paper examines the effect of the stirrer current and field frequency on the flow in horizontal EMS of steel slabs. A threedi...

Hybrid electromagnetic and electrostatic micromachined suspension with adjustable dynamics

This paper introduces a novel design for a hybrid micromachined contactless suspension, whose operation is based on combining electromagnetic inductive and electrostatic actuation. Wirebonded microcoils provide the electromagnetic inductive actuation, while electrodes patterned on a Si wafer provide electrostatic control. The coil structure and the electrode structure are independently designed...

Depth-Independent Drag Force Induced by Stirring in Granular Media

Dialysis with Stirring

Substances to be purified by dialysis are placed in collodion bags together with a toy "marble" or a bubble of air. The bags are stoppered and placed in glass tubes of a rocking machine. Distilled water of the desired temperature is circulated through the tubes (around the bags) at a rate of about 8 cc. per minute per bag while the machine is in motion. The rolling of the marbles or bubbles cau...

Electromagnetic stirring in a microbioreactor with non‐conventional chamber morphology and implementation of multiplexed mixing

BACKGROUND Microbioreactors have emerged as novel tools for early bioprocess development. Mixing lies at the heart of bioreactor operation (at all scales). The successful implementation of micro-stirring methods is thus central to the further advancement of microbioreactor technology. The aim of this study was to develop a micro-stirring method that aids robust microbioreactor operation and fac...
