A theoretical study is presented of peristaltic hydrodynamics of an aqueous electrolytic non-Newtonian Jeffrey bio-rheological fluid through an asymmetric microchannel under an applied axial electric field. An analytical approach is adopted to obtain the closed form solution for velocity, volumetric flow, pressure difference and stream function. The analysis is also restricted under the low Reynolds number assumption (Stokes flow) and lubrication theory approximations (large wavelength). Small ionic Peclét number and Debye–Hückel linearization (i.e. wall zeta potential ≤ 25 mV) are also considered to simplify the Nernst–Planck and Poisson–Boltzmann equations. Streamline plots are also presented for the different electro-osmotic parameter, varying magnitudes of the electric field (both aiding and opposing cases) and for different values of the ratio of relaxation to retardation time parameter. Comparisons are also included between the Newtonian and general non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid cases. The results presented here may be of fundamental interest towards designing lab-on-a-chip devices for flow mixing, cell manipulation, micro-scale pumps etc. Trapping is shown to be more sensitive to an electric field (aiding, opposing and neutral) rather than the electro-osmotic parameter and viscoelastic relaxation to retardation ratio parameter. The results may also help towards the design of organ-on-a-chip like devices for better drug design. 相似文献
This article deals with the various heat source responses in a transversely isotropic hollow cylinder under the purview of three-phase-lag (TPL) generalized thermoelasticity theory. In presence of magnetic field and due to the rotating behavior of the cylinder, the governing equations are redefined for generalized thermoelasticity with thermal time delay. In order to obtain the stress, displacement and temperature field, the field functions are expressed in terms of modified Bessel functions in Laplace transformed domain. When the outer radius of hollow cylinder tends to infinity, the corresponding results are discussed. Finally an appropriate Laplace transform inversion technique is adopted. 相似文献
We have shown solvent- and substrate-dependent chiral inversion of a few glycoconjugate supramolecules. (Z)-F-Gluco, in which d -glucosamine has been attached chemically to Cbz-protected l -phenylalanine at the C terminus, forms a self-healing hydrogel through intertwining of the nanofibers wherein the gelators undergo lamellar packing in the β-sheet secondary structures with a single chiral handedness. Dihybrid (Z)-F-gluco nanocomposite gel was prepared by in-situ formation of silver nanoparticles AgNPs in the gel; this enhances the mechanical properties of the composite gel through physical crosslinking without altering the packing pattern. In contrast, (Z)-L-gluco bearing an l -leucine moiety does not form a hydrogel but an organogel. Interestingly, the chiral handedness of the aggregates of (Z)-L-gluco can be reversed by choosing suitable solvents. In addition to self-healing behavior, (Z)-L-gluco gel revealed shape persistency. Further, (Z)-F-gluco hydrogel is benign, nontoxic, non-immunogenic, and non-allergenic in animal cells. AgNP-loaded (Z)-F-gluco hydrogel showed antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 相似文献
Palladium catalyzed intramolecular aminoacetoxylation of d-ribose derived alkenyl tosylsulfonamide to deliver l-deoxyallonojirimycin in an overall yield of 19%. The preliminary screening of l-deoxyallonojirimycin against carbohydrate processing enzymes showed moderate inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (yeast) and α-mannosidases. 相似文献
Generally, bacteriochlorophyllides were responsible for the photosynthesis in bacteria. Seven types of bacteriochlorophyllides have been disclosed. Bacteriochlorophyllides a/b/g could be synthesized from divinyl chlorophyllide a. The other bacteriochlorophyllides c/d/e/f could be synthesized from chlorophyllide a. The chemical structure and synthetic route of bacteriochlorophyllides were summarized in this review. Furthermore, the potential applications of bacteriochlorophyllides in photosensitizers, immunosensors, influence on bacteriochlorophyll aggregation, dye-sensitized solar cell, heme synthesis and for light energy harvesting simulation were discussed. 相似文献
A fluorescent and colorimetric sensor based on rhodamine 6 g (RD6g) was designed, synthesized, and characterized using microwave irradiation. The sensing behavior of this compound was studied by UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. Sensor RD6g exhibits a high selectivity and an excellent sensitivity and is a dual-responsive colorimetric and fluorescent Hg2+-specific sensor in aqueous buffer solution. Mercury ions give rise to the development of a very fluorescent ring-open amide spirolactam system. The detection limit for Hg2+ was found to be 1.2?×?10?8 M. The binding ratio of RD6g-Hg2+ complex was determined to be 1:1 according to the Job’s plot. The reversibility of RD6g?Hg2+ complex has been achieved with CN? anions. The test strip based on RD6g was developed, which could be used as a suitable and methodical Hg2+ test kit.
Many natural rock systems contain small patches of different permeability which affect the flow of fluids through them. As these heterogeneities become smaller and more numerous, they become harder to model numerically. We consider how to reduce the computational effort required in simulations by incorporating their effects in the boundary conditions at the edges of each grid block. This is in contrast with current methods which involve often arbitrary changes in the fluid properties. The method is restricted to the case of widely-spaced patches, which simplifies interaction effects. The system then reduces to an array of dipoles, and two averaging methods are proposed for finite grid blocks. Several infinite systems, including vertical and horizontal bands, are also considered as further approximations. There is a great wealth of existing results from different fields which lead to identical mathematical problems and which can be used in these cases. Finally, we consider how to use these techniques when the precise configuration of the grid block is not known, but only its statistical properties. This can lead to results which are very different from the deterministic case. 相似文献
This paper examines a mathematical model for the coalescence of two viscous liquid volumes in an inviscid gas or in a vacuum which removes the pressure singularity at the instant of impact inherent in the classical formulation of the continuum model. The very early stages of coalescence are examined in order to study the formation of the liquid bridge in two cases: (i) for two infinitely long, coalescing liquid cylinders; and (ii) for two coalescing spheres. Numerical solutions are computed for the velocity and pressure fields in the flow in both cases, and they confirm the removal of the pressure singularity. Also, the free-surface position at small times is determined. 相似文献
