چکیده
Here, we report an enhanced separation of colloidal particles using a novel type AsPFF (asymmetric pinched flow fractionation) device with two additional features (t-AsPFF-v). Particularly, by adding a tilted sidewall and vertical focusing channels to the conventional AsPFF device, a significant enhancement in the separation resolution (R(m,n)) has been achieved, which was estimated to be 10.4 for 6 and 10 μm PS particles and found to be 11.6 times better than that of a conventional AsPFF.

Boundary Shear Stress in a Trapezoidal Channel
This paper focuses on a hydraulic radius separation approach used to calculate the boundary shear stress in terms of bed and wall shear stress proposed in a trapezoidal channel. The average bed and sidewall shear stress in smooth trapezoidal open channels are derived after using Guo & Julien (2005) early equations taking a part of an investigation to cover both rectangular and trapezoidal chann...
متن کاملThe Effects of an Imposed Magnetic Field on Natural Convection in a Tilted Cavity with Partially Active Vertical Walls:Numerical Approach
The effect of imposed magnetic field on natural convection in a tilted cavity with partially active walls was investigated numerically. The active part of the right side wall was at a higher temperature than the active part of the left side wall and were moving on vertical walls relative to each other. The top, the bottom and the remaining parts of the side walls were insulated. The magnetic fi...
متن کاملTilted-branch Hydrodynamic Filtration for Length-dependent Sorting of Rod-like Particles
We present here a microfluidic approach to achieve length-dependent sorting of rod-like particles/cells. We have previously developed a technique for continuous and size-dependent separation of particles, named “hydrodynamic filtration (HDF)” [1], and applied it to the shape-based particle sorting [2]. To enhance the effect of either the particle length or width, microchannels having tilted bra...
متن کاملEffect of colloidal Particles associated with the liquid bridge in sticking during drying in Superheated Steam
It is very important in the design of a drying system is to evaluate sticking behaviour of the materials goes under drying. A new approach to the sticking issue is applied in this study by carrying out a sticking test for the liquid associated with the materials under study. It was found that the liquid bridge is responsible of the initial sticking of the materials to the contact surface and th...
متن کاملColloidal transport and diffusion over a tilted periodic potential: dynamics of individual particles.
A tilted two-layer colloidal system is constructed for the study of force-assisted barrier-crossing dynamics over a periodic potential. The periodic potential is provided by the bottom layer colloidal spheres forming a fixed crystalline pattern on a glass substrate. The corrugated surface of the bottom colloidal crystal provides a gravitational potential field for the top layer diffusing partic...
