Protein interactions inside the human body are expected to differ from the situation in vitro. This is crucial when investigating protein functions or developing new drugs. In this study, we present a sample-efficient, free-solution method, termed microscale thermophoresis, that is capable of analysing interactions of proteins or small molecules in biological liquids such as blood serum or cell...

The effect of thermophoresis particle deposition on unsteady free convective, heat and mass transfer in a viscoelastic fluid along a semiinfinite vertical plate is investigated. The Walters-B liquid model is employed to simulate medical creams and other rheological liquids encountered in biotechnology and chemical engineering. The dimensionless unsteady, coupled and non-linear partial different...

Abstract The use of infrared laser sources for creation of localized temperature fields has opened new possibilities for basic research and drug discovery. A recently developed technology, Microscale Thermophoresis (MST), uses this temperature field to perform biomolecular interaction studies. Thermophoresis, the motion of molecules in temperature fields, is very sensitive to changes in size, c...

In this study we have explored the numerical solution of MHD flow of an incompressible nanofluid towards a stretching surface. The obtained model of nonlinear partial differential equations is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations using an appropriate transformation. Shooting method is employed to solve the said system of boundary layer equations. Discussion of momentum, tempe...

In this paper, we analyze unsteady two dimensional hydromagnetic forced convection boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid along flat plates with thermophoresis. The potential flow velocity has been taken as a function of the distance x and time t. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equation by applying local similarity transforma...

In this research various nonlinear fluid models have been introduced and the balloon movement in the porous arteries, including third-order non-Newtonian fluid, is described under the influence of the magnetic field. In order to solve the nonlinear equations governing the desired artery, an analytical method of approximation collocation and least squares are proposed. The effect of various para...

We analysed the thermodiffusion phenomenon both numerically and experimentally for size-based separation of polystyrene microparticles. For model validation, we followed previously published numerical studies using ANSYS Fluent 2020 R2 software. our experimental analysis, defined a new microchannel geometry that would separate at least two groups particles (5 20 µm). trajectory microparticles i...

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of slip mechanisms in nanofluids through scaling analysis. The role of nanoparticle slip mechanisms in both water- and ethylene glycol-based nanofluids is analyzed by considering shape, size, concentration, and temperature of the nanoparticles. From the scaling analysis, it is found that all of the slip mechanisms are dominant in ...
