This article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. The electrostatic actuation was induced by applying AC-DC voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. In contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. In additio...

In this paper, results of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements of the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow velocity fields in an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) are presented. The measurements were carried out for various densities of submicron dust. The ESP was an acrylic parallelepiped with a wire discharge electrode and two plate collecting electrodes. The positive DC voltage was applied...

a quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular f•••f, br•••br and br•••o interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (bfnb). this system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. we found that fluorine atoms have weak ...

human serum albumin (hsa) is the most abundant protein constituent of blood plasma. this protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 585 amino acid residues, which has many important physiological functions. hsa can bind and carry many drugs, including anticoagulants, tranquilizers, and general anesthetics. some technique such as: fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence ...

in this study, an electrostatic sprayer which had been previously designed and constructed was evaluated in order to quantify the charging of droplets. liquid atomization was achieved by using an ultrasonic nozzle. the nozzle maximum flow rate was 25 milliliters per minute and vibration frequency was about 30 khz. the induction method was used for charging the output droplets. all experiments w...

This work reports, immobilization the Cobaloxime [Co (DH) Cl;DH,dimethylglyoximato)] onto the MCM- .The surface of MCM- was initially functionalized with -aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and -pyridine. For the electrostatic immobilization this was reacted with Cobaloxime and immobilization was achieved by an electrostatic interaction between the Co Cobaloxime and the N of the pyridine and NH amine....

This paper presents a small tube/wire type electrostatic precipitator (ESP). In the ESPs present form, particle charging and collecting voltages and airflow rates were individually varied throughout 200 ambient temperature test runs ranging from 10 to 30 kV in increments on 5 kV and 0.5 m/s to 1.5 m/s, respectively. It was repeatedly observed that, at input air velocities of between 0.5 and 0.9...
