Experimental Investigations on the Effects of Channel Aspect Ratio and Surface Wettability to Control the Surface-Driven Capillary Flow of Water in Straight PMMA Microchannels
Abstract: AbstractTotal 214 individual straight polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microchannels have been fabricated by the maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography, direct bonding technique, and atmospheric pressure air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma processing. The experimental investigations on the effects of structural properties (channel aspect ratios) and physical properties (surface wettability, capillary pressure and kinetic energy) on the surface-driven capillary flow of dyed water in straight PMMA microchannels is a novel approach in this …

Design and Analysis of a Low Loss Polarization Maintaining Waveguide for Transmission of THz Waves
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents the design of a novel porous core kagome lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF) which acts as a low loss and polarization maintaining teraheartz (THz) waveguide. Using finite element method (FEM), properties of the proposed PCF are simulated in details including the effective material loss (EML), confinement loss, single mode propagation. Cyclic olefin copolymer, also known as TOPAS material have been chosen for the air micro structured inhibited …

Mean based Load Adaptation Algorithms (MLAA) for Energy Saving in FiWi Access Networks
Abstract: AbstractFiber Wireless (FiWi) network has been evolving as a promising broadband access network. It provides high data rate, flexibility and stability to the users. Exponential growth in broadband access networks has opened many research challenges. Energy conservation is one of them. In FiWi network, among all the components, optical network unit (ONU) consumes most of the power of the network. Hence, to keep ONU in low power state while ensuring …

Optical Characteristics of Amorphous Se-Ge-Ag Thin Films
Abstract: AbstractDetailed studies on impurity dependence of the optical structural properties have been carried out on Se-Ge-Ag thin film samples prepared by thermal evaporation technique. The effect of the addition of varying amounts of silver in concentrations from 5 to 15 molar percent to Se-Ge system were analyzed systematically under the room temperature. The optical transmission and reflection spectra of these films were measured in the range of 300–900 nm. The …

Multi-variable Analysis and Optimization of Electrical Discharge Machining Process Using a PCA-ANN Based Approach
Abstract: AbstractThe optimum selection of process parameters has played a crucial role in electrical discharge machining (EDM) for improving the material removal rate, reducing the tool wear rate and radial overcut. In this paper, optimum parameters while machining 202 stainless steel using copper electrode as a tool has been investigated. For optimization of process parameters along with multiple quality characteristics, principal component analysis coupled with artificial neural network method has been …
