Force Scaling Comparison of Transport Phenomena in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Flow Channels

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been investigated extensively in the literature; however, a comparison between the order of the magnitude of the forces occurring within the flow channels has not b ...

On the drivers of droplet variability in Alpine mixed-phase clouds

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Maxime Hervo, Jörg Wieder

Droplet formation provides a direct microphysical link between aerosols and clouds (liquid or mixed-phase), and its adequate description poses a major challenge for any atmospheric model. Observations are critical for evaluating and constraining the proces ...

Charge transfer across C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds stabilizes oil droplets in water

Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Sergey Kulik, Benjamin Rehl

The hydrophobic-water interface plays a key role in biological interactions. However, both the hydrophobic-water interfacial molecular structure and the origin of the negative zeta potential of hydrophobic droplets in water are heavily contested. We report ...

Focusing on the liquid role in the vapour liquid solid growth mechanism

Lea Ghisalberti

In this work we dive into key questions regarding the wetting of a nanoscale droplet which provides fundamental understanding of Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth mode of nanowires. This understanding is important to performreproducible NW fabrication and allow th ...

Drops on the Underside of a Slightly Inclined Wet Substrate Move Too Fast to Grow

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

Pendant drops suspended on the underside of a wet substrate are known to accumulate fluid from the surrounding thin liquid film, a process that often results in dripping. The growth of such drops is hastened by their ability to translate over an otherwise ...

Microfluidic Device for Droplet Pairing by Combining Droplet Railing and Floating Trap Arrays

Philippe Renaud, George Coukos, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Alexandre Harari, Marion Arnaud

Droplet microfluidics are characterized by the generation and manipulation of discrete volumes of solutions, generated with the use of immiscible phases. Those droplets can then be controlled, transported, analyzed or their content modified. In this wide d ...

Modeling Extreme Warm-Air Advection in the Arctic During Summer: The Effect of Mid-Latitude Pollution Inflow on Cloud Properties

Georgia Sotiropoulou

Usually the Arctic is relatively free of anthropogenic influence in summer, which means that particles from natural sources can be the most significant nuclei for cloud droplets. However, this is not the case during anomalously warm-air intrusions when the ...

Evaluation of Drainage Phase Diagram for PEM Fuel Cell Porous Layer

Mahbod Heidari

The drainage process in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is investigated with an ex situ experimental approach. The drainage process is investigated for stable displacement, capillary fingering, and viscous fingeri ...

Band gaps of liquid water and hexagonal ice through advanced electronic-structure calculations

Alfredo Pasquarello, Igor Reshetnyak, Thomas Bischoff

The fundamental band gaps of liquid water and hexagonal ice are calculated through advanced electronicstructure methods. We compare specifically the performance of state-of-the-art GW calculations with nonempirical hybrid functionals. For the latter, we fi ...
