We obtained the same formula of relation between non-dimensional time and interface position as that of the circular channel. We compared predictions with experimental results of a PDMS microchannel. They agreed qualitatively, but not quantitatively. The difference was considered to be caused by ...
2. An electronic cigarette mainly consists of an atomizer (porous wick with heating coils) to produce a stream of aerosol, a cartridge for liquid storage and a rechargeable battery. Often classified as tobacco products by regulations, electronic cigarettes work by vaporizing their liquid solutions...
Shen-Qi-Wan (SQW), a commonly used prescription against chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a nephroprotective action in adenine-induced kidney injury. However, the mechanism of SQW in renal injury remains unclear. Objective This study was undertaken to measure...
(PVD); or other electro-deposition methods that are used to coat three dimensional porous structures. CVD and PVD are well-known processes useful to coat a variety of conductive substrates. Deposited coatings are particularly advantageous because they can be quickly deposited in an automated process...
T. Tillocher and R. Dussart received a travel grant from the Belgian and French governments through a Tournesol action (contract number T2014.02). R. Chanson has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreeme...
This paper presents a discussion of interface motion driven by capillary action in a microchannel. We have extended the theory beyond the previous theory of capillary rise problem for a circular tube, to a rectangular microchannel. The same formula for the relation between nondimensional time and ...
Three-dimensional response surface plots were drawn to characterize the relationships between the significant factors and the analytical responses. These 3D models are made by plotting each analytical response against two factors, with the third factor remaining at a constant value as is presented in ...
The Hele–Shaw approximation assumes that the fluids are enclosed in the gap between two parallel plates with a small distance d such that the fluid motion becomes mainly two-dimensional. In line with this, the drop/bubble is modeled as a cylindrical fluid domain between the plates. In the ...
Since Figure 3 shows that long-crested, wind-supported capillaries appear when gravity waves are present, a two-dimensional wave theory is supposed to be relevant for the study of such waves. The waves are described by adding terms that support vertical flows of energy and momentum to the free...
The pore structure of concrete changed through the action of ETF cycles. For NC, HPC, and UHPC specimens, the porosity and most probable pore size were measured using the MIP method, and capillary water absorption coefficients were obtained using the gravimetric method; the results are shown in...
