Band Dispersion in Serpentine Channels of Microfluidic Electrokinetic Separation Systems

Order analysis of serpentine belt transverse vibration

Transverse vibration of the serpentine belt is effective at noise and durability of it. Therefore, understanding of this phenomenon and studying effective parameters can be used in the process of reducing belt noise and increasing life time. In this paper, transverse vibration of serpentine belt is measured experimentally and analyzed. In the implementation test steps, the displacement of the b...

Separation of light hydrocarbons by gas chromatography using serpentine as stationary phase

The application of serpentine ore (brownish colour) as a stationary phase for the separation of hydrocarbons by gassolid chromatography has been tested. Separation of methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, iso-butane and acetylene has been accomplished at room temperature (25°C). The separated components were detected with a flame ionization detector. The peaks of isobutane and n-butane were rathe...

Flow Regime Evolution in Long, Serpentine Microchannels with a Porous Carbon Paper Wall

An important function of the gas delivery channels in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is the evacuation of liquid water created at the cathode. The resulting two-phase flow can become an obstacle to reactant transport and a source of parasitic losses. The present work examines the behavior of two-phase flow in 500 μm x 500 μm x 60 cm channels with distributed water injection through a...

Inertial particle separation by differential equilibrium positions in a symmetrical serpentine micro-channel

This paper presents an inertial microfluidic device with a simple serpentine micro-channel to continuously separate particles with high performance. Separation of micro/nano-particles has a variety of potential applications in biomedicine and industry. Among the existing separation technologies, a label-free technique without the use of antibody affinity, filter or centrifugation is highly desi...
