Maxwellian Valves based on centrifugal forces

نویسنده

  • Lyndsay G M Gordon
چکیده

A mechanism is described which can create a chemical potential gradient from a single heat reservoir. The mechanism is equivalent to a Maxwellian valve. Heat supplies the energy through thermal fluctuations to form the gradient contrary to the second law. A quantitative analysis of the system is given.

Effects of Impeller Gap on Rotor Vibration in a High Speed Centrifugal Compressor: A Numerical and Experimental Analysis (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Centrifugal compressors produce high pressure ratio and rotate at speeds. So, a tiny unbalance can produce severe vibration. In this paper, effects of impeller gap on rotor vibration in a high speed centrifugal compressor is investigated. For this purpose, a numerical and experimental analysis are carried out. The moving reference frame method in FLUENT software is used for modeling of geometri...

Ionospheric contribution to Saturn’s inner plasmasphere

[1] Ion densities from the three-dimensional Saturn thermosphere-ionosphere model are extended above the plasma exobase using the formalism of Pierrard and Lemaire (1996) which evaluates the balance of gravitational, centrifugal, and electric forces on plasma in a rotating dipole field. The parameter space of ionospheric contributions to Saturn’s inner plasmasphere (to within 1 Saturnian radius...

Centrifugo-pneumatic multi-liquid aliquoting - parallel aliquoting and combination of multiple liquids in centrifugal microfluidics.

The generation of mixtures with precisely metered volumes is essential for reproducible automation of laboratory workflows. Splitting a given liquid into well-defined metered sub-volumes, the so-called aliquoting, has been frequently demonstrated on centrifugal microfluidics. However, so far no solution exists for assays that require simultaneous aliquoting of multiple, different liquids and th...
