The numerical and experimental results presented in this work show that a relatively small temperature gradient (5K), has great potential to generate a separation in interesting mixtures for biological purpose. In fact, ...

Microfluidic devices are poised to dramatically influence the future of the process industry. Therefore the understanding and proper evaluation of the flow and mixing behaviour at microscale becomes a very important issue. ...

A twofold analysis is performed on an experimental set-up comprising a low-Reynolds wind tunnel, with the aim of quantifying the effect of measurand uncertainties and operative condition variations in the lift and drag ...

This paper presents numerical studies of thermophoresis approach for separation of nanoparticles in liquid media. We simulated the thermophoresis process to test it as a method of separation of particles in suspension. At ...

The work of this doctoral thesis, has focused on the numerical, experimental analysis of the separation processes optimization in micro-nano-biotechnology interest fluids. Specifically, we have determined the thermophysical ...

An application-agnostic procedure is outlined for checking the validity of momentum-deficit-based drag measurements performed under different turbulent conditions in a wind tunnel. The approach defines a two-step methodology: ...

The choice of substrate material in a chip that combines ultrasound with microfluidics for handling biological and synthetic microparticles can have a profound effect on the performance of the device. This is due to the ...

Los sistemas microfluídicos han demostrado ser una alternativa prometedora ante procesos convencionales de separación y caracterización. Este trabajo muestra el estudio numérico del fenómeno de la termoforesis en un ...

This paper describes a smart system to monitor high temperature in industrial applications. The solution includes a semipassive microchip which allows logging data and wireless reading. Protection for the electronics against ...
