Thermophoresis as a technique for separation of nanoparticle species in microfluidic devices
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2020)
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 ...
Stability analysis under thermogravitational effect
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2020)
In the present work, an interferometric unsteady analysis of the thermogravitational technique was for the first time attempted in a paralelepipedic microcolumn
using binary mixtures with negative Soret coefficients. In ...
Steady-state Measurements of Ternary Mixtures in Thermogravitational Microcolumn Using Optical Digital Interferometry
(Springer Nature B.V., 2021)
Steady-state measurements in a thermogravitational microcolumn using optical digital interferometry are presented here for the first time in the literature in the case of ternary mixtures. These measurements enabled the ...
Design of a Radiant Heat Capturing Device for Steel Mills
(International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2021)
This paper approaches the energy transition towards decarbonization and lower primary energy use in the steel and glass industries through the exploitation of radiant waste heat. In contrast with exhaust gases heat recovery, ...
Numerical analysis of different mass transfer models for falling film absorbers
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
Different methodologies have been used in the literature to determine the absorbed vapour mass flux in falling film absorbers. So far, however, there has been little discussion about the impact of different ap- proaches ...
Effect of liner thermal properties and liner pre-cooling on the thermal management of fast-filling of hydrogen tanks
(Elsevier, 2023)
In transportation applications, filling high pressurised hydrogen tanks within a few minutes implies a fast and large temperature increase that can compromise the structural integrity of the storage system and the safety ...
Influence of nanoparticles morphology in magnetic fluids
(Elsevier, 2024)
In this work magnetic fluids at two different volume concentrations (5 % and 10 %) of magnetite nanoparticles of different morphologies and sizes (octahedral, 38 ± 5 nm; truncated octahedral, 10 ± 1 nm; rod-like, 95 nm x ...
Three-dimensional effects during thermocapillary-driven melting of PCMs in cuboidal containers in microgravity
(Elsevier, 2024)
The melting of a phase change material (PCM) in a cuboidal domain under microgravity conditions is investigated numerically. The upper surface of the PCM is free (in contact with air, for example) and variations in its ...
Non-invasive Thermohydrodynamic Approach for Fast Cell Manipulation at the Microscale
(Springer, 2024)
Thermal gradients have emerged as a promising technique for manipulating and sorting biological material at the microscale, holding considerable potential in lab-on-a-chip technology. Herein, we propose a non-invasive ...
The Measurement of Soret and Thermodiffusion Coefficients in Binary and Ternary Liquid Mixtures
(Springer Nature, 2023)
This review provides an overview of the major, currently used techniques for investigating the Soret effect and measuring thermodiffusion and Soret coefficients, and in most cases also isothermal Fickian diffusion coefficients, ...
