Influence of the meandering channel geometry on the thermo-hydraulic performances of an intensified heatexchanger/reactor [PDF]
, 2013 In the global context of process intensification, heat exchanger/reactors are promising apparatuses to implement exothermic chemical syntheses. However, unlike heat exchange processes, the implementation of chemical syntheses requires to control the ...

Switchable 3D optofluidic Y-branch waveguides tuned by Dean flows [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractOptical branch waveguides are one of the most important optical elements and have been widely exploited for optical communication systems. However, prevailing devices are typically solid and have limit in tunability. Liquid optical devices have attracted more interest for the advantage of tunability of liquid media, but their signals suffer ...
