Geometry Optimization of Enzymatic Electrochemical Glucose Sensor
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is on a rising tide. Diabetic patients must regularly monitor their blood glucose levels. One method for designing such a device is using electrochemical principles, specifically amperometry to determine glucose concentration. It is essential to ... Read More
Improved CFD Simulation of Free Radical Polymerization in a Flow Microreactor with Additional Reaction Steps
The complete modelling of free radical polymerization (FRP) in a flow microreactor is dependent upon various transport processes - mass, momentum and heat transfer alongwith chemical reaction. And top of that, all processes are coupled to each other thus making modelling and simulation ... Read More

In-Situ Scale Inhibitor Interaction with Surface Area of Porous Sandpack: A Numerical Approach.
ABSTRACT: Over the years, the most common method of preventing scale formation and blockage of formation pores in oil and gas systems is by squeezing of chemicals into the formation. Different experimental and simulation studies have been carried out to understand the interaction of the ... Read More
CFD modeling of a commercial CVD system and simulation of a CVD deposition process
Seco Tools produces inserts for machining metals. Roughly half the number of inserts Seco Tools produces are coated by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) which extends the inserts lifetime in machining operations significantly. More than 10 000 inserts are coated on trays in each CVD run. ... Read More
