Ferrofluid Applications in Chemical Engineering

Ferrofluids have been vastly wooed in diverse areas of engineering and research. This contribution briefly exposes some concepts specific to ferrofluids and how they relate to recent applications emerging in chemical engineering, including mass transfer enhancement, momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent pipe flows and in porous media flows, and the motion of magnetic nanoparticles in gas-l...

APPLICATIONS of MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION in CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Multiobjective optimization involves the simultaneous optimization of more than one objective function. This is quite commonly encountered in Chemical Engineering. A considerable amount of research has been reported in this area over the last twenty years. These are reviewed in the present paper. The general background of this area is presented at the beginning, followed by a description of how...

Applications of Small Molecules in Muscle Tissue Engineering

Introduction: Skeletal muscles account for about 40% of the total body weight. Every year, hundreds of people lose at least part of their muscle tissue due to illness, war, and accidents. This can lead to disruption of activities such as breathing, movement, and social life. To this end, various therapeutic strategies such as medication therapy, cell therapy and tissue transplantation have been...

Applications of Inertial Navigation Systems in Medical Engineering

Inertial navigation systems are of the most important and practical systems in determining the velocity, position and attitude of the vehicles and different equipment. In these systems, three accelerometers and three gyroscopes are used to measure linear accelerations and angular velocities of vehicles, respectively. By using the output of these sensors and special inertial algorithms in differ...
