As interest in renewable energy grows on both research and policy fronts, energy storage likely represents one of the most viable solutions to the problems posed by the intermittency and irregularity of renewable resources. While new classes of materials promise improved performance of energy storage systems, understanding energy storage electrode architecture and fabrication at the micro-scale allows us to fully leverage performance along different dimensions.

DL16: Simulation of Micro-Fluidic Laser Heating Utilizing CFDRC

David Mun
2003

With the recent rapid advancements in computer technology, increasingly complex and powerful simulation programs are being developed that allow engineers and scientists in a variety of disciplines to develop extremely sophisticated and detailed models which simulate phenomena that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to verify experimentally or analytically. One specific application of this new technology is in the area of computerized fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. CFD simulations can be utilized in a myriad of situations, such as modeling jet turbines, or determining...

DL12: Fluid Dynamics in Nanoscale Environments

2003

This project focuses on the analysis of fluid behavior in sub-micron scale environments using microfabricated nanochannels with the intent of investigating applications such as the development of ultra-sensitive detection systems. The small scale in which the experiments will be conducted allows for the generation of extremely high levels of shear in the fluid. In addition, the fluid is expected to behave differently in the nanochannels than at the macroscale due to the increasingly significant contribution of intermolecular forces and because double layers formed along the sidewalls...

The capability to easily and continuously monitor the blood glucose level would be a tremendous improvement in the treatment of diabetes. A painless approach is to measure the glucose level of the interstitial fluid, which correlates well with the blood glucose level. Long-term goal of this project is the development of a disposable minimally invasive self-calibrating continuous glucose monitor consisting of hollow out-of-plane microneedles to sample interstitial fluid from the epidermis, an integrated dialysis membrane and an integrated electrochemical enzyme-based flow-through...
