Substrate functionalization is of great importance in successfully manipulating flows and liquid interfaces in microdevices. Herein, we propose an alternative approach for spatial patterning of wettability in a microcapillary tube. The method combines a photolithography process with self-assembled monolayer formation. The modified microcapillaries show very sharp boundaries between the alternat...

plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing thematerial into useful products that sometimes differ completely in form from their original state. an importantissue in plastic recovery and recycling is that plastic waste usually contains a variety of plastics that differ intheir physical and chemical properties. separation of recovered plastics into dis...

The evolution of an initially stellar dipole type magnetosphere interacting with an accretion disk is investigated numerically using the ideal MHD ZEUS-3D code in the 2Daxisymmetry option. Depending mainly on the magnetic field strength, our simulations may last several thousands of Keplerian periods of the inner disk. A Keplerian disk is assumed as a boundary condition prescribing a mass inflo...

In order to study the quiet time proton flow and magnetic field in the inner plasma sheet resulting from electric and magnetic drifts, we incorporate a modified version of the Magnetospheric Specification Model with a modified Tsyganenko 96 magnetic field model to self-consistently simulate plasma sheet protons and magnetic fields with two-dimensional force balance maintained along the midnight...

We study the effect of nuclear reaction on a thin, axisymmetric, differentially rotating, inviscid, steady accretion flow around a black hole from an analytical point of view. We find that for most of the reasonable disk parameters, when p − p-reaction, dissociation of deuterium and helium are taken into account, the transonic region of the disk continues to have the inner sonic point and if th...

In this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. To analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. Because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

The distribution of renal blood flow was measured in isolated blood-perfused dog kidneys using radioactive labeled microspheres. The kidneys were perfused at a constant systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg. For the first 50 minutes of perfusion, flow to the outer zones of the renal cortex was 79 ± 2% (SE) of the total renal blood flow, and inner cortical blood flow accounted for 21 ± 2%. With continu...
