Theoretical explanation of rotational flow in the liquid-film motor

A liquid film that is under the action of two electric forces, an external electric field parallel to the film and a lateral voltage difference applied to both edges of the film, exhibits a universal rotational flow. In this article, we revisit this phenomena by considering an idealized so-called liquid-film motor and provide a theoretical description of the underlying physical mechanism that is responsible for the rotation. Based on this theory, the external electric field induces a non-uniform distribution of freely moving charges on the film. Then the internal field that is mainly resulted from the lateral voltage difference, will exert forces on induced charges and subsequently will result the rotational flow. We show, how the fields contribute in developing a universal flow pattern.

Ionic Transport Triggered by Asymmetric Illumination on 2D Nano-Membrane

Ionic transport and ion sieving are important in the field of separation science and engineering. Based on the rapid development of nanomaterials and nano-devices, more and more phenomena occur on the nanoscale devices in the field of thermology, optics, mechanics, etc. Recently, we experimentally observed a novel ion transport phenomenon in nanostructured graphene oxide membrane (GOM) under asymmetric illumination. We first build a light-induced carriers’ diffusion model based on our previous experimental results. This model can reveal the light-induced ion transport mechanism and predict the carriers’ diffusion behavior under different operational situations and material characters. The voltage difference increases with the rise of illuminate asymmetry, photoresponsivity, recombination coefficient, and carriers’ diffusion coefficient ratio. Finally, we discuss the ion transport behavior with different surface charge densities using MD simulation. Moderate surface charge decreases the ion transport with the same type of charge due to the electrostatic repulsion; however, excess surface charge blocks both cation and anion because a thicker electrical double layer decreases effective channel height. Research here provides referenced operational and material conditions to obtain a greater voltage difference between the membrane sides. Also, the mechanism of ion transport and ion sieving can guide us to modify membrane material according to different aims.

Liquid-film Motor: Physical Mechanism

A liquid film that is under the action of two electric forces, an external electric field parallel to the film and a lateral voltage difference applied to both edges of the film, exhibits a universal rotational flow. In this article, we revisit this phenomena by considering an idealized so-called liquid-film motor and provide a theoretical description of the underlying physical mechanism that is responsible for the rotation. In this theory, the external electric filed induces a non-uniform distribution of free charges on the film then the internal field, resulted mainly from the voltage difference, will exert forces on these charges and subsequently induce a rotational flow in the ambient fluid. We show, how the fields contribute in developing a universal flow pattern.

Analysis of Transformer and Transformerless DC-DC Converter for Renewable Energy System

This paper tells about a comparative analysis of DC-DC converter for renewable energy system. DC-DC converter with transformer has been proved that it is suitable to the electrolysis application. High frequency voltage matching transformer is used in this topology, due to the high input and output voltage difference. In this comparation is done with and without transformer to obtain the stabilized output voltage. The MATLAB simulation result shows that the output voltage with transformer is free from ripples.

Amplitude Integrated Electroencephalogram Integration to Monitor the Relationship Between Development and Changes of the Nervous System in Late Preform Infants

This article uses amplitude integration of electroencephalogram integration to detect the development of the nervous system of late perform infants, and to study its changes, using a stratified randomized controlled trial method. The preform infants in the neonatal department of postnatal birth had the research object. The sample size was calculated, according to the first set of tires into small gestational age groups, and gestational age large. The subjects of each group were randomly divided into small gestational age groups, small gestational age intervention groups, large gestational age groups and large gestational age intervention groups. Two preterm children increased with age growth. The performance of the broadband and narrowband sector decreased voltage need the voltage lower bound ofa growing trend to the voltage difference becomes smaller. Oral exercise intervention is safe and effective for premature infants over 30 weeks old and can be used clinically as a neuroprotective strategy.

Thermoelectric generators

As the world is changing and developing with every passing day, the requirements of power are also increasing. There is a shift in utilizing the electrical energy as much as possible and for this reason, many countries have already made policies for completely ruling out the machines which don’t run on electricity. Apart from electricity, there are other forms of energy that can be used to convert that form into a more desirable form. For example, in a plant where the smoke comes out of the chimneys or in a car, the smoke carries a large amount of thermal energy with it. This energy is nothing but a waste and reduction in the efficiency of the systems. If somehow, this energy could be recovered, the efficiency can be increased. Thermoelectric generators serve for this purpose. Thermos electric generators get the heat and using the principle of heat conduction and p and n type materials, the heat can be directly converted into the electricity. There are many materials available in the market for p and n type but in our case, we chose silicon germanium which is also one of the most commonly used. First of all, a single module of thermoelectric generator will be made using p and n type material, as well as using conductive material and some ceramic substance. Then, the entire assembly will be made and this assembly will be exported to Ansys where custom materials will be added and applied on to the geometry. After performing analysis on full model, a comparative study will be presented in which the effect of material of conductive plate on to the voltage difference will be studied

Real Number Modeling Flow of Digital to Analog Converter

This work introduces a flow of digital to analog (DAC) implementation in digital environment of SystemVerilog. Unlike the classical Verilog models, this digital to analog converter behavioral model is analog. Such type of model creation in general is called real number modeling. The DAC model is verified by the HSPICE and SystemVerilog Co-simulations which show its applicability in different register transfer level verification environments. The digital environment with real number modeled DAC runs around 8 times faster than the same environment with SPICE model. At the same time, the output signal’s voltage difference between RNM and SPICE models is less than 2 mV.

On the Electro-Mechanical Stability of Elastomeric Coaxial Fibers

The stability of cylindrical coaxial fibers made from soft elastomeric materials is studied for electro-static loadings. The general configuration considered is a three-component axisymmetric fiber having a conducting core bonded to a dielectric annulus in turn bonded to an outer conducting annular sheath. A voltage difference between the conducting components is imposed. The stresses and actuated elongation in the perfectly concentric fiber are analyzed, and the critical voltage at which stability of the concentric configuration is lost is determined via solution of the non-axisymmetric bifurcation problem. The role of the geometry and moduli contrasts among the components is revealed, and the sub-class of two-component fibers is also analyzed. The idealized problem of a planar layer with conducting surfaces that is bonded to a stiff substrate on one surface and free on the other exposes the importance of short wavelength surface instability modes.
