Owing to increased demands on ground water accompanied by increased drawdowns, technologies that use recharge options, such as aquifer storage recovery (ASR), are being used to optimize available water resources and reduce adverse effects of pumping. In this paper, three representative ground water flow models were created to assess the impact of hydrogeologic and operational parameters/factors...

In this study, we incorporated mixing units of three-dimensional (3D) interconnected pore network inside microfluidic channels by combining single prism holographic lithography and photolithography. 3D pore network structures were generated by the interference of four laser beams generated by a truncated triangular pyramidal prism. The levelling between the 3D porous structures and the channel ...

We present a multiscale measure for mixing that is based on the concept of weak convergence and averages the “mixedness” of an advected scalar field at various scales. This new measure, referred to as the MixNorm, resolves the inability of the L variance of the scalar density field to capture small-scale variations when advected by chaotic maps or flows. In addition, the Mix-Norm succeeds in ca...

An acoustic mixer for glass channel microfluidic systems is presented. An acoustic standing wave, perpendicular to the fluid flow, is generated by the excitation of a miniaturized piezoelectric transducer operated around 10 MHz. The transducer is fabricated into a planar printed circuit board structure, constituting the bottom channel wall, which makes the mixer simple to integrate with a wide ...

A comprehensive study on the methanol as an alternative fuel has been carried out. A four stroke four cylinder diesel engine was adopted to study engine power, torque, break specific fuel consumption, break thermal efficiency and exhaust temperature with the fuel of fraction methanol in diesel. In this study, the diesel engine was tested using methanol blended with diesel at certain mixing rati...

this paper is the representation of the computational and experimental methods of a new injector nozzle for a sequential port injection cng engine. the objective of this study was to review the previous research in the development of gaseous fuel injector for port injection cng engine converted from diesel engine. next, a simulation of the fuel flow of the new injector nozzle was made using flu...
