Nano-Biotechnology is coming more important in a medical application. Nanomicro-bubble could have a significant role in this field, like delivery system of drug, enzymes gene and so on. Micro-bubble is utilized as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging and there are many commercial agents like Levovist, Sonovue, Optison, Sonazoid and so forth. Nano-bubbles can be also used for such contrast ag...

On the experimental side, the topics covered are moving contact line, critical heat ...

In this work, growth and assembly of the micro polyhedral zinc oxide was performed using airbubble assisted Triton X100, as a templating agent. In absence of air bubbling in the reactionsystem the nano plate zinc oxide was synthesized. The prepared samples were characterized by Xraydiffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-Visspectrop...

This paper investigated the effects of seawater curing of concrete made by Micro-Nano Air Bubbles (MNAB) on compressive, flexural and tensile strengths of the concrete. This product will be applicable for rehabilitation or repair of coastal RC structures. In this research, the effect of different combinations of concrete ingredients including 0-100, 25-75, 50-50, 75-25, and 100-0 percent ...

Two-phase flow regimes are affected by conduit position, alignment, geometry, flow direction, physical characteristics, and flow rate of each phase as well as the heat flux toward the boundaries. Due to the importance of two-phase flow, numerous regimes have been identified. The first step in studying micro-bubble formation inside a venturi tube is to recognize the type of flow regimes. In this...

This paper describes various manipulations of micro air bubbles using electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD): transporting, splitting, merging and eliminating. First, in order to understand the response of bubbles to EWOD, the contact angle modulation is measured in a capped air bubble and confirmed to be in good agreement with the Lippmann-Young equation until saturation. Based on the contact ang...

The present study considers of the water and air flow and Micro-Bubble production inside the venturi tube, by the use of dimensional analysis. Numerical analysis of Micro-Bubble creation in venturi tube requires fast computers and large amounts of storage space. Up to now, there has been no numerical analysis concerning Micro-Bubble creation and all other existing studies are experimental. To s...

Abstract: To improve the stability and reliability of the piezoelectric micro-pump, the cause of air block phenomenon is analyzed on the structure of wheel check valve. During the movement of the bubble in the micro-channel, pressure drop occurs, the main factor which influences the bubble going through is opening height of the wheel check valve. Five groups of wheel check valves with different...
