Abstract: This paper experimentally investigates the mechanism of water droplet detachment in a confined microchannel under highly inertial (10 < Re < 200) air flow conditions. Experimental observations show that as ...

Abstract: Microchannel flow is of great interest across many disciplines and applications, from biochemical diagnostics to thermal management systems. Nonetheless, such flow requires large pumping power due to its small cross-sectional ...

Abstract: In recent years, more efforts have been made to improve new and more efficient nonmembranebased methods for water desalination. Capacitive deionization (CDI), a novel technique for water desalination using an electric field ...

Abstract: Due to the increasing demand for clean and potable water stemming from population growth and exacerbated by the scarcity of fresh water resources, more attention has been drawn to innovative methods for water desalination. ...

Abstract: New and more efficient water desalination technologies have been a topic of incipient research over the past few decades. Although the focus has been placed on the improvement of membranebased desalination methods such as ...
