Sulfide is an important species to measure in environmental water samples. The spectrophotometric detection method for reduced sulfur species (sulfide) based on generation of methylene blue was adapted to work in an ap ...

Infrared (IR) thermography is applied to estimate heat transfer rates in external and internal microscale convective flows. The technique and analysis are developed in the context of external jet impingement flow and int ...

Gene synthesis is an important tool in molecular biology. However, the current bench-top method of gene synthesis is a costly, time-intensive and reagent-consuming process. Lab-on-chip technology has many benefits over ...

Continued interest in the development of miniaturized and portable analytical platforms necessitates the exploration of sensitive methods for the detection of trace analytes. Nanomaterials, on account of their unique phy ...

Micro Energy and Chemical Systems (MECS) devices enable at least two areas of benefit due to the accelerated heat and mass transfer that can be accomplished in microchannels. First, MECS devices enable process intensi ...

An experimental study was performed in which an ammonia-water solution was desorbed within a branching fractal-like microchannel array. The solution entered in the center of a disk, and flowed out radially until discha ...

Two-phase gas-liquid flows in microscale fractal-like branching channel flow networks were experimentally studied to assess the validity of existing void fraction correlations and flow regimes based on superficial gas an ...

This objective of this study is to investigate the capability of nanostructured surfaces on dissipating heat flux by performing pool boiling and convective flow boiling. The generation of ultra-high heat flux from high p ...

Micro-fluid mixing is an important aspect of many of the various micro-fluidic systems used in biochemical production, biomedical industries, micro-energy systems and some electronic devices. Typically, because of size ...
