The heat pipe augmented solar wall operates much more efficiently for domestic air heating than alternative passive solar technologies. The thermal diode effect of heat pipes reduces the insulating losses of the unit during nighttime and adverse...
This thesis looks at the optimization of fluid flow and mass transfer using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in a micro fluidic coulter counter. CFD will be used to solve equations of fluid flow and mass transfer to see how molecules within the...
Microhotplates for metal oxide gas sensors are fabricated using platinum microheaters and tested. Power consumption is monitored and temperature distributions are observed using infrared microscopy. Temperature line traces are extracted from the...
