Abstract:: A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

Abstract:: Droplet formation from a flexible nozzle plate driven by a prescribed-waveform excitation of a piezoelectric is numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the VOF method. The droplet generator with a flexible nozzle plate, which is free to vibrate due to the pressure acting on the plate,...

Creator:: Tobias, Jason A.
Abstract:: An experimental study of the near-field flow structure produced by an incompressible turbulent Acoustically Self-Excited Jet (ASEJ) in a large enclosure using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is presented. The salient feature of this jet is that it provides an increase in near-field mixing and turbulence without additional external power input....

Creator:: Knudson, Matthew D.
Abstract:: Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

Creator:: Abhinkar, Bindiya S.
Abstract:: PDMS membrane-based microvalves are becoming increasingly more important for the control of fluid flow within MECS applications such as microreactors used to synthesize nanoparticles and biological macromolecules. The motivation for pursuing PDMS membrane-based microvalves is for implementing a plug flow microreactor to simulate slug flow yielding a narrower residence time...
