Micro-algae are being considered increasingly as an economic source for the sustainable production of biodiesel, food (additives), pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. However, the excessive cost and low efficiency of current microalgal harvesting processes limit the potential large-scale uptake of microalgal farming to transform industrial applications. Absence of universal separation...
The world of printing is rapidly and extensively developing due to the progress made in the inkjet technology. This printing technology delivers good print quality using the flexibility of digital printing at a breakthrough cost price. The R&D department of Canon Production Printing company, is a major player in the development of inkjet technologies for many different applications.
The...
Understanding the evaporation and absorption of surfactant-laden droplets on porous media is challenging and important for many industrial applications, for example, inkjet printing. The evaporation of droplets containing dispersed solid particles on a solid surface has aroused much interest and has extensively been studied. The non-uniform evaporation pattern, resulting after evaporation, is...
Thin cellulosic materials such as natural textiles, paper, or bio-based walls, exhibit a remarkable capacity to absorb humidity from the environment through "bound water" sorption within nanopores, constituting up to 30% of their dry mass [1]. Understanding the mechanisms of induced water transfers is crucial for advancing industrial processes and sustainable practices across various fields,...
Subcooled water flow boiling experiments were carried out in flat mini- and microchannels under intense local heating (up to 1600 W/cm2) for different heater surface morphology. Two different heaters were used: 10x10 mm2 heater and 3x3 mm2 heater. In total, 4 different types of heating surfaces were used: 1) smooth copper, 2) rough copper, 3) porous coating, 4) graphene coating. The structure...
