This article reports on the International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise, or INPBE, in which the thermal conductivity of identical samples of colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles or “nanofluids,” was measured by over 30 organizations worldwide, using a variety of experimental approaches, including the transient hot wire method, steady-state methods, and optical methods. The nanofluids tested in the exercise were comprised of aqueous and nonaqueous basefluids, metal and metal oxide particles, near-spherical and elongated particles, at low and high particle concentrations. The data analysis reveals that the data from most organizations lie within a relatively narrow band (±10% or less) about …


Effect Of Gold Content On The Reliability Of Snagcu Solder Joints, Jianbiao Pan, J. Silk, M. Powers, P. Hyland Oct 2011

Effect Of Gold Content On The Reliability Of Snagcu Solder Joints, Jianbiao Pan, J. Silk, M. Powers, P. Hyland

Jianbiao Pan

Electroplated Ni/Au over Cu is a popular metallization for printed circuit board finish as well as for component leads, especially wire-bondable high-frequency packages, where the gold thickness requirement for wire bonding is high. The general understanding is that less than 3 wt% of Au is acceptable in SnPb solder joints. However, little is known about the effect of Au content on the reliability of SnAgCu solder joints. The purpose of this paper is to determine the acceptable level of Au in SAC305 solder joints. Three different package platforms with different Au thicknesses were assembled on boards with two different Au …


Instability Of Electrokinetic Microchannel Flows With Conductivity Gradients, Hao Lin, Brian D. Storey, Michael H. Oddy, Chuan-Hua Chen, Juan G. Santiago Mar 2011

Instability Of Electrokinetic Microchannel Flows With Conductivity Gradients, Hao Lin, Brian D. Storey, Michael H. Oddy, Chuan-Hua Chen, Juan G. Santiago

Brian Storey

Electrokinetic flow is leveraged in a variety of applications, and is a key enabler of on-chip electrophoresis systems. An important sub-class of electrokinetic devices aim to pump and control electrolyte working liquids with spatial gradients in conductivity. These high-gradient flows can become unstable under the application of a sufficiently strong electric field. In this work the instability physics is explored using theoretical and numerical analyses, as well as experimental observations. The flow in a long, rectangular-cross-section channel is considered. A conductivity gradient is assumed to be orthogonal to the main flow direction, and an electric field is applied in the …


Radial Response Of Individual Bubbles Subjected To Shock Wave Lithotripsy Pulses In Vitro, Thomas J. Matula, Paul R. Hilmo, Brian D. Storey, Andrew J. Szeri Mar 2011

Radial Response Of Individual Bubbles Subjected To Shock Wave Lithotripsy Pulses In Vitro, Thomas J. Matula, Paul R. Hilmo, Brian D. Storey, Andrew J. Szeri

Brian Storey

Direct measurements of individual bubble oscillations in lithotripsy fields have been performed using light-scattering techniques. Studies were performed with bubble clouds in gassy water as well as single levitated bubbles in degassed water. There is direct evidence that the bubble survives the inertial collapse, rebounding several times before breaking up. Bubble dynamics calculations agree well with the observations, provided that vapor trapping (a reduction in condensation during bubble collapse) is included. Furthermore, the afterbounces are dominated by vapor diffusion, not gas diffusion. Vapor trapping is important in limiting the collapse strength of bubbles, and in sonochemical activity. © 2010 American …


Experimental And Molecular Dynamics Investigation Into The Amphiphilic Nature Of Sulforhodamine B, Baris E. Polat, Shangchao Lin, Jonathan D. Mendenhall, Brett Vanveller, Robert Langer, Daniel Blankschtein Jan 2011

Experimental And Molecular Dynamics Investigation Into The Amphiphilic Nature Of Sulforhodamine B, Baris E. Polat, Shangchao Lin, Jonathan D. Mendenhall, Brett Vanveller, Robert Langer, Daniel Blankschtein

Sulforhodamine B (SRB), a common fluorescent dye, is often considered to be a purely hydrophilic molecule, having no impact on bulk or interfacial properties of aqueous solutions. This assumption is due to the high water solubility of SRB relative to most fluorescent probes. However, in the present study, we demonstrate that SRB is in fact an amphiphile, with the ability to adsorb at an air/water interface and to incorporate into sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles. In fact, SRB reduces the surface tension of water by up to 23 mN/m, and the addition of SRB to an aqueous SDS solution induces …
