The vertical heating tube was inserted in porous matrix composed of five well sorted glass beads whose diameters range from 0.5 to 4.3 mm. Due to the effect of composition, the trend of combination of vapor bubbles was reduced, resulting in the increase of peak heat flux of binary mixture. With the increase of ethanol mole fraction, 0.5 mm diameter bead had lower value of peak heat flux, while for pure liquid the critical state is difficult to appear. With given diameter of glass bead, there existed an optimum value of mole fraction of ethanol, which was decreased with the increase of bead diameter. A dimensionless heat transfer coefficient was predicted through the introduction of a dimensionless parameter of porous matrix, which agreed with the experimental results satisfactorily.展开更多

The temperature distribution, velocity and mass fraction distributions, and the effects of the wetted wall temperatures and the Reynolds number on the momentum,heat and mass transfer were examined in details. Results show that the liquid film can enhance heat transfer along the wetted walls by 5-10 times.展开更多

For this purpose we establish a simulation platform for nanowire FETs in the liquid environment by implementing the modified Poisson-Boltzmann model into Landauer transport theory. We investigate the changes of the electric potential and the transport characteristics due to the ions. The reduction of sensitivity of the sensors due to the screening effect from the electrolyte could be successfully reproduced. We also fabricated silicon nanowire Schottky-barrier FETs and our model could capture the observed reduction of the current with increasing ionic concentration. This shows that our simulation platform can be used to interpret ongoing experiments, to design nanowire FETs, and it also gives insight into controversial issues such as whether ions in the buffer solution affect the transport characteristics or not.展开更多

The objective of this research was to determine the jump location in a simple explicit form. The effects of many factors were investigated including nozzle diameter, jet exit pressure, nozzle-to-plate spacing, jet velocity and Reynolds number. It was found that the theoretical data collapsed well over the range of jet Reynolds number 500 Re 1800 with previous data.展开更多

We focus on two different liquid pumping methods. The first method can pump the high temperature liquid tin into the micro-size capillary by using a high pressure difference system. After pumping, a single mode fiber(SMF) connected with the optical carrier based microwave interferometry(OCMI) system is used to measure different liquid tin levels in the micro-size capillary. The second method can pump the room temperature engine oil into the capillary by using a syringe pump. This method can avoid the air bubbles when the liquids are pumped into the capillary.展开更多
