The impact of a spherical water drop onto surface has been studied experimentally with the aid 35 mm drum camera giving high-resolution images that provided qualitative and quantitative data on phenomena. Scaling laws for time to reach maximum cavity sizes have derived provide good fit experimental results. Transitions between regimes coalescence-only, formation high-speed jet bubble entrapment delineated. was found occur without entrapment. This caused by rapid retraction trough formed...
Numerical simulations have been used to investigate the flow regimes resulting from impact of a 2.9 mm water drop on deep pool at velocities in range 0.8–2.5 m/s. The results were identify conditions leading formation vortex rings, entrapment bubble during cavity collapse and vertical Rayleigh jets. Bubble associated growth thin high speed jet shown be result capillary wave that propagates down walls crater impact. Although existence waves is necessary condition for entrapment, bubbles will...
With the development of microfluidics, electro-osmotic (EO) driven flow has gained intense research interest as a result its unique profile and corresponding benefits in application transportation sensitive samples. Sensitive samples, such DNA, are incapable enduring strong shear induced by conventional hydrodynamic methods. EO is thus niche area. However, even though there few studies focusing on bio-fluidic samples related to flow, majority them merely theoretical modeling without solid...
In this article, a new and flexible approach to control the electric field enhancement of bow-tie nano-antennas by integrating them on lateral tapered optical fiber is proposed. The device driven Q-switched laser performance fabricated nano-antenna in quartz slide tested Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) experiment. A refractive index sensing experiment also performed sensitivity (240 ± 30) nm/RIU found 1.33-1.35 range.
Determining the thermohydraulic characteristics in pillow-plate channels (PPCs) is challenging due to their intricate structure. This work introduces novel geometric parameters specific a flow cross-sectional area PPCs and employs two-stage optimized algorithm for artificial neural networks (ANNs) enhance its feature predictions significantly. These enable practical consideration of various PPC structures help develop new mean hydraulic diameter (MHD) correlation. Besides general PPCs, are...
A finite difference numerical method, based on the VOF approach for tracking interface distortions, is presented. It capable of accurately simulating fluid flow multiple immiscible fluids metallurgical applications. This volume method piecewise linear reconstructions interfaces, density distributions a shifted grid approach, and fully kernel-based CSF surface force modelling. Second order temporal spatial accuracy are achieved using improved Euler time-stepping enhancement two-step...
Addressing critical societal challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, and environmental protection, requires sustainable management of resources. This study reports on the results an experimental program using waste wood, including chromium copper arsenic (CCA) treated to produce ambiently cured geopolymer cement bonded wood composites (WGC), are very encouraging. The composite exhibited a reasonable compressive strength, which ranged between 7 27 MPa inversely corresponding...
As the environmental impact of modern society continues to escalate, construction industry actively pursues environmentally friendly materials revolutionize its practices. Recycling, especially repurposing end-of-service and industrial wastes, emerges as a pivotal strategy offering promising path towards sustainable construction. This study focuses on innovative reuse wood, crumb rubber, cenosphere with geopolymer binder produce alternatives masonry units. The was conducted in two stages. In...
Abstract The backfill cycle in the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) separation of air to produce an enriched oxygen product using a zeolite 5A molecular sieve was studied theoretically and experimentally. effects cycle, configuration, rate, pressurisation rate were studied. theory agreed well with experimental results predicting concentration over wide range pressures, thus giving basic understanding bed dynamics cycle. showed that capacity adsorbent most important parameters governing...
