Short Report to Describe the Surface-driven Microfluidic Flow in Fluid Mechanics
Abstract: In this short report, a brief review on surface-driven microfluidic flow is provided. Also, the maskless lithography and indirect bonding technique are used to fabricate a single SU-8 based glass microfluidic device. Dyed ethylene glycol is prepared as working liquid to test the fabricated device. The surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed ethylene glycol is recorded by a CMOS camera catching 25 frames per second with a corresponding time-scale resolution of …

Heat Sink-PCM Device for PV Efficiency Improvement
Abstract: This paper is focused on the development of a second stage of a previous work where the PV panel efficiency is improved by using a hybrid system made up of a PCM attached to the rear side of the panel. This evolved stage incorporates a heat sink unit to improve the distribution of the heat removed from the panel; this improvement reduces the elapsed time to reach the steady state …
