Nanoscale Transport, Mechanics & Materials
Nanowire Growth Chamber
Nanowires are grown in lab for use as canteliever resonance system to mass molecules, this has been sucessfully used to detect prostate cancer. Also nanowires are being evaluated for use as chip scale nano sensors.
Nanowire Growth Chamber Design
I designed in solidworks a new nanowire growth chamber to grow nanowire on a polymer substrate instead of the ceramic substrate used previously.
Nanowire Grothw Chamber
The chamber is made of teflon to ensure it does not react with the nanowire growth chemicals.
Phase Change Material Characterization Device
PCM Render
The PCM Device was designed in solidworks. My novel lateral design uses two peltier thermoelectric devices to acurately control the temperature and heat flow into the phase change material to be characterized.
COMSOL FEA Simulation
COMSOL was used for finite element analysis of the device to compare theoretical results to experimental results.
Final PCM Assembly
Phase change material characterization is used to determine the thermal conductivity, specefic heat and latent heat of fusion of materials. These materials can be used as a novel means for solar energy storage.
Wireless Batteryless Sensors
Wireless batteryless sensors are developed to monitor the conditions inside hydrogen fuel cells. By accurately monitoring the conditions inside a fuel cell without affecting fuel cell performance, fuel cell lifetime and manufacturing efficencey can be improved to make fuel cells more practical for consumer and industrial use. Wireless batteryless sensors can also be used for remote monitoring applications.
Wireless Batteryless Transmitter
The prototype wireless transmitter is encapsulated in fuel cell materials to prove radio permability.
Breadboard Prototype Sensor
A breadboard prototype is used to validate the design of a wireless batteryless sensor that can be scaled down to a microlevel for use in fuel cells.
