Single-phase liquid friction factors in microchannels
(American society of mechanical engineers (ASME), 2005-06)
The validity of friction factor theory based upon
conventional sized passages for microchannel flows is still an
active area of research. Several researchers have reported
significant deviation from predicted values, ...
Review of fabrication of nanochannels for single phase liquid flow
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005-06)
The topic of single phase liquid flow in submicron or
nanochannels is a nascent field. There have only been a couple
papers that have dealt with this area directly. The most
probable reason for this is that currently ...
Development of an experimental facility for investigating single-phase liquid flow in microchannels
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005-06)
An experimental facility is developed to investigate singlephase
liquid heat transfer and pressure drop in a variety of
microchannel geometries. The facility is capable of accurately
measuring the fluid temperatures, ...
Characterization of the effect of surface roughness and texture on fluid flow - past, present, and future
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005-06)
That surface roughness has an effect on fluid flow in
networks has been understood for well over a century. The
exact effect roughness has on fluid flow has not been
completely understood, but a working estimate has ...
High flux heat removal with microchannels - A roadmap of challenges and opportunities
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005-06)
Heat fluxes in IC chips and other electronics equipment
have reached the current limits of air cooling technology.
Some of the applications require heat fluxes well beyond the
limit of 100 W/cm2, requiring advanced ...
System-dynamics-based modeling of business simulation algorithms
(ACM - Simulation and Gaming, 2005-06)
Research on the internal algorithms used to model business simulations have focused on individual components of the business system. Yet the business environment is complex in nature, characterized by interdependencies and ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of water flow generated by suction-feeding bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus resolved by Particle Image Velocimetry
(The Company of Biologists, 2005-05-24)
The suction-feeding fish generates a flow field external
to its head in order to draw prey into the mouth. To date
there are very few empirical measurements that
characterize the fluid mechanics of suction feeding,
p ...
Sucking while swimming: Evaluating the effects of ram speed on suction generation in bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus using digital particle image velocimetry
(The Company of Biologists, 2005-05-11)
It is well established that suction feeding fish use a
variable amount of swimming (ram) during prey capture.
However, the fluid mechanical effects of ram on suction
feeding are not well established. In this study ...
Dark matter dynamics and indirect detection
(Modern Physics Letters A, 2005-05-10)
Non-baryonic, or “dark”, matter is believed to be a major component of the total mass
budget of the universe. We review the candidates for particle dark matter and discuss
the prospects for direct detection (via interaction ...
Herpetofaunal species richness responses to forest landscape structure in Arkansas
(Elsevier: Forest Ecology and Management, 2005-05-02)
Species accumulation curves were used to study relationships between herpetofaunal richness and habitat characteristics on four watersheds in Arkansas that differed markedly with respect to management intensity. Selected ...
