A rapid and simultaneous separation of cationic and anionic peptides and proteins in a glass microfluidic device that has been covalently modified with a neutral poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coating to minimize protein adsorption is presented. The features of the device allow samples that contain both anions and cations to be introduced from a central flow stream and separated in different chann...

A suite of numerical modules has been developed, specifically devoted to the understanding of flow through faulted and fractured deep rock masses. The present application concerns the geothermal project developed at the Soultz sous Forêts site (France) in the Rhine graben geological setting. This area seems well suited for such a project, since most of the faults and fractures are nearly optima...

An analysis has been performed to study magneto-hydrodynamic MHD squeeze flow between two parallel infinite disks where one disk is impermeable and the other is porous with either suction or injection of the fluid. We investigate the combined effect of inertia, electromagnetic forces, and suction or injection. With the introduction of a similarity transformation, the continuity and momentum equ...

A hydrodynamic permeability of membranes built up by porous cylindrical or spherical particles with impermeable core is investigated. Different versions of a cell method are used to calculate the hydrodynamic permeability of the membranes. Four known boundary conditions, namely, Happel’s, Kuwabara’s, Kvashnin’s and Cunningham/Mehta-Morse’s, are considered on the outer surface of the cell. Compa...

in this paper, size distribution of nano-bubbles was measured by the reliable and fast method of laserdiffraction technique. nano-bubbles were produced using a nano-bubble generator designed and madebased on hydrodynamic cavitation phenomenon in venturi tubes. a central composite design withresponse surface methodology was used to conduct a five factor, five level factorial experimental designo...

Rat legs directly injected with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) were studied by dual-echo, gradient-echo imaging. The amount of iron injected was estimated using a point dipole model for the SPIO injection site. Saturation magnetization of 6:1 PEG/amino modified silane-coated iron oxide particles with 5- to 6-nm core and 20-25 hydrodynamic diameter was approximately 110 emu/g of iron. Estim...

Motivated by recent theoretical work on tidal disruption events and other peculiar transients, we present moving-mesh radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of radiative luminosity emitted a central source being reprocessed wind-like outflow. We couple the hydrodynamic code JET with our newly-developed radiation module based mixed-frame grey flux-limited diffusion implicit timestep update. This all...

in this research, the total torque input and output shafts were subjected to are used to formulate twodifferential equations using applied dynamics and fluid mechanics. the equations show that the input andoutput torques are a function of the constant geometrical parameters of a torque converter, includinginternal and external diameters of vanes, angle and length of vanes, cross section area be...

Coefficients or hydrodynamic derivatives of autonomous underwater vehicles play a key role in their development. The most popular way for the estimation of coefficient is to implement captive model tests such as straight line tests and planar motion mechanism tests in towing tanks. In this paper, investigation of hydrodynamic derivatives was performed based on the water tunnel maneuvers. Forces...

Dispersive shock waves and solitons are fundamental nonlinear excitations in dispersive media, but dispersive shock wave studies to date have been severely constrained. Here, we report on a novel dispersive hydrodynamic test bed: the effectively frictionless dynamics of interfacial waves between two high viscosity contrast, miscible, low Reynolds number Stokes fluids. This scenario is realized ...
