This paper presents a theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini and micro-channels of different internal shapes. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations and it inc ...
The intent of this thesis is to study the function of elastin in cerebral arteries, its contribution into the aging process and its implication into different cerebral diseases and in particular cerebral aneurysms. As of today, little is known on the genes ...
In this thesis, a new method has been developed, which determines the optical coefficients spectra (absorption and scattering) of small volumes of tissue (1 mm3) by the measurement of spatially resolved reflectance between 480 and 950 nm. Firstly, an algor ...
An integrating sphere for measuring quantum yield comprises a sample holder, for example a capillary (7) adapted to be placed in a quartz tube (12) comprised in the sphere, an inlet opening for introducing an excitation beam (10), and an outlet opening for ...
Industry requires continuously new chemical processes to convert raw materials to valuable products limiting the formation of by-products. Since a few years, an increasing interest has been given to the intensification of chemical processes. This represent ...
The Derjaguin approximation states that the interaction force between two curved surfaces is proportional to their effective radius, whereby the inverse effective radius is the arithmetic mean of the inverse curvature radii of the surfaces involved. The pr ...
A method for fabricating a micromirror in a wafer, including the steps of: depositing and etching layers forming two arms; etching the wafer such that in the back face only a thin portion of the wafer remains in the region of formation of the micromirror a ...
