High-power electrokinetic energy conversion in a glass microchannel array

Abraham Mansouri; Subir Bhattacharjee; Larry W. Kostiuk

The electrokinetic conversion of flow work to electricity using a glass microchannel array coated with nano-layers of gold that serve as electrodes on both its ends was studied and a maximum power output of 1 mW at an efficiency of 1.3% is reported. The establishment of such a high power generation capability in combination with a low pressure drop (26 kPa) makes this electrokinetic work conversion device more practical than those previously reported in literature.

Streaming current magnetic fields in a charged nanopore

Abraham Mansouri; Peyman Taheri; Larry W. Kostiuk

Magnetic fields induced by currents created in pressure driven flows inside a solid-state charged nanopore were modeled by numerically solving a system of steady state continuum partial differential equations, i.e., Poisson, Nernst-Planck, Ampere and Navier-Stokes equations (PNPANS). This analysis was based on non-dimensional transport governing equations that were scaled using Debye length as the characteristic length scale, and applied to a finite length cylindrical nano-channel. The comparison of numerical and analytical studies shows an excellent agreement and verified the magnetic fields density both inside and outside the nanopore. The radially non-uniform currents resulted in highly non-uniform magnetic fields within the nanopore that decay as 1/r outside the nanopore. It is worth noting that for either streaming currents or streaming potential cases, the maximum magnetic field occurred inside the pore in the vicinity of nanopore wall, as opposed to a cylindrical conductor that carries a steady electric current where the maximum magnetic fields occur at the perimeter of conductor. Based on these results, it is suggested and envisaged that non-invasive external magnetic fields readouts generated by streaming/ionic currents may be viewed as secondary electronic signatures of biomolecules to complement and enhance current DNA nanopore sequencing techniques.

A circuit-based approach for electro-thermal modeling of lithium-ion batteries

Maryam Yazdanpour; Peyman Taheri; Abraham Mansouri; Ben Schweitzer

A two-dimensional electro-thermal model has been developed to provide a tool that can be used to gain a better understanding of dynamic behaviour of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The model incorporates an equivalent circuit model (ECM) and a coupled electro-thermal model to simulate the non-uniform heat generation rate, the temperature distribution, and the voltage response of the Li-ion cell across variety of operating conditions. The ECM is comprised of two resistance-capacitance (RC) networks, one sires resistor, and one voltage source that are all function of state-of-charge (SOC) and temperature (T). Hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) test is applied to extract the ECM parameters at different ambient temperature. The simulations results of the cell model under constant current discharge tests show a good agreement with the experimental data at different environmental temperature. The developed model can be employed for battery thermal management system (BTMS) and battery management system (BMS) design with a light computational demand.
