Investigating Wetting Characteristics on Microstructured Surfaces for Superhydrophobicity and Metal Microcasting
The engineering of liquid behavior on surfaces is important for infrastructure, transportation, manufacturing, and sensing. Surfaces can be rendered superhydrophobic by microstructuring, and superhydrophobic devices could lead to practical corrosion inhibition, self-cleaning, fluid flow control, …

Study and applications of liquid behavior on microtextured solid surfaces
Engineering the behavior of liquids on solid surfaces has wide applications ranging from the design of water-repelling surfaces for daily use to fluid flow manipulation in lab on chip devices and inhibiting corrosion of machinery. Given the ubiquitous interaction of liquids with solids, these …

Applying NMR Relaxation Methods to the Study of Liquids in Porous Media
… characterise the adsorption behaviour of liquids imbibed within catalytic materials. Principally, this study is centred on γ-alumina, which is used industrially as both a catalyst and a catalyst support. Ratios of fixed field T1 and T2 values were compared with fast field cycling (FFC-) …

Thermal Transport Across Nano Engineered Solid-Liquid Interfaces
<p> Liquid molecules located at the interfacial region behave differently than they do in the bulk. These interfacial liquid molecules play a very crucial role in heat transfer from solid to liquid, especially when the system dimension shrinks to the nanoscale range. Behavior of these interfacial …

Molecular Dynamics Study of Solid-Liquid Heat Transfer and Passive Liquid Flow
… efficient mechanisms for removing heat from a solid surface. Futuristic electronic devices are expected to generate more than 1000 W/cm2 of heat. Despite the advancements in microscale and nanoscale manufacturing, the maximum passive heat flux removal has been ~300 W/cm2 in pool boiling. Such …

Characterization of catalyst pellets using NMR and MRI: MRI, diffusion and relaxation measurements of liquid imbibed in alumina and titania extrudates
… to measure the self diffusion coefficient of liquid contained within catalyst support pellets. Mass transport in catalyst pellets is often characterized through the tortuosity parameter, which impacts the catalyst effectiveness, though it is difficult to measure and simple relationships, such …
