The combustion of kerosene spray under hot-diluted conditions and conventional conditions was experimentally investigated. By examining flame photographs, chemiluminescence images, and in-field temperature measurements, the separate effect of different variables including oxygen concentration, temperature and velocity of the co-flowing air, fuel flow rate and injection pressure, and eventually the type of spray nozzle on multiple parameters such as flame stability, structure, luminosity, temperature field, and qualitative CH radical distribution, as well as HCO and NO2 with lower precision, in the reaction region, have been studied. It was observed that an increment in injection pressure and... 

Microfluidic devices have received wide attention and shown great potential in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Investigating cell response to various stimulations is much more accurate and comprehensive with the aid of microfluidic devices. In this study, we introduced a microfluidic device by which the matrix density as a mechanical property and the concentration profile of a biochemical factor as a chemical property could be altered. Our microfluidic device has a cell tank and a cell culture chamber to mimic both 2D to 3D and 3D to 3D migration of three types of cells. Fluid shear stress is negligible on the cells and a stable concentration gradient can be... 

In recent years, there has been a rapid change in the portfolio of road vehicles. This transformation needs to be supported by reshaping fuel stations. The existing structures can be modified to supply multiple vehicle types while utilizing renewable energies. In this article, we introduce a hybrid fuel station (HFS) to supply both electric and natural gas vehicles. We incorporate an energy hub and thoroughly explain the structure and components in detail. The configuration of the proposed HFS includes renewable energy sources (RESs), a power-to-gas unit (P2G), a natural gas distributed generator (NGDG), an energy storage device, a compressor, and a gas storage device. The optimal operation...
