Density profiles of temperature-sensitive microgel particles.
We have performed small angle neutron scattering measurements (SANS) on dilute aqueous dispersions of polymer microgel particles as a function of temperature, T . The microgel particles are spherical crosslinked assemblies of a loose gel network of a poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) polymer. When the temperature is raised beyond a critical temperature, T(lc) approximately 32 degrees C , the p...
متن کاملSimultaneous estimation of spatially dependent diffusion coefficient and source term in a nonlinear 1D diffusion problem
This work deals with the use of the conjugate gradient method in conjunction with an adjoint problem formulation for the simultaneous estimation of the spatially varying diffusion coefficient and of the source term distribution in a one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion problem. In the present approach, no a priori assumption is required regarding the functional form of the unknowns. This work ca...
متن کاملAnisotropic diffusion of spherical particles in closely confining microchannels.
We present here the measurement of the diffusivity of spherical particles closely confined by narrow microchannels. Our experiments yield a two-dimensional map of the position-dependent diffusion coefficients parallel and perpendicular to the channel axis with a resolution down to 129 nm. The diffusivity was measured simultaneously in the channel interior, the bulk reservoirs, as well as the ch...
متن کاملShear-induced diffusion of platelike particles in microchannels.
We exploit the recent developments of microfluidic technologies to investigate the collective shear-induced diffusion in suspensions of micron-sized particles. Whereas spherical particles do not diffuse on the time scale of our experiments, the results with platelike clay particles show a strong cross-stream shear-induced diffusivity at low volume fraction (phi{0}<or=0.01). Moreover, we find a ...
متن کاملNumerical Identification of a Spatially Varying Diffusion Coefficient
We consider the inverse problem of identifying a spatially varying diffusion coefficient on the basis of an observed solution to the forward problem. Under appropriate conditions, this inverse problem can be solved as a first order hyperbolic problem in the unknown coefficient. We provide a modified upwind difference scheme for this hyperbolic problem and prove that its convergence rate is 0(h)...
