Article Introducing Engineering Students To Microfluidics and 3d Printing Using Hands-On Activities(American Society for Engineering Education, 2023) Dogan, E.; Borgaonkar, A.D.; Nafisi, N.; Miri, A.K.Microfluidics technology involves the regulation of flow in micron-sized channels for desired reactions, with applications in biological modeling, drug manufacturing, screening of biological agents, and various engineering fluid dynamics-related purposes. Despite its growth and development, microfluidics has not been widely included as a teaching topic in undergraduate engineering education. This manuscript presents a hands-on project-based learning approach that can be easily implemented into core engineering courses, such as fluid mechanics, transport, chemical reactions, and others. Project-based activities presented here have three main parts: material preparation based on synthetic polymers, light-assisted manufacturing of a microfluidic device, and mass transport experiments to observe the fluid behavior. The project leverages 3D printing and the potential to connect students with makerspaces and 3D printing and to get them started on the path to bringing their ideas to life. The paper includes a breakdown of how to access and evaluate these activities. As a result of this hands-on activity, students will understand how fluid mechanics concepts are applied to microfluidics. Students will also learn about a novel interdisciplinary field that is growing rapidly. Engineering technology students will benefit from exposure to the application side of this emerging field through these lab-style activities that they are accustomed to in the majority of their core courses. Finally, the authors hope that such successful integration will encourage faculty to introduce other novel science and engineering topics that are currently only accessible through research experiencebased courses. © 2023, American Society for Engineering Education.

To do this, density functional tight-binding (DFTB) method is combined with atomistic Green's function technique. The results show that curved GBs have lower thermal conductance than linear GBs. Its magnitude depends on the length of the curvature and out-of-plane structural distortions at the boundary, having stronger influence the latter one. Moreover, it is found that by increasing the defects at the boundary, the transport properties can strongly be reduced in comparison to the effect produced by heating up the boundary region. This is due to the large reduction of the phonon transmission for in-plane and out-of-plane vibrational modes after increasing the structural disorder in the GBs.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 40Investigation of the Variation in Weak-Link Profile of Yba 2cu3-Xagxo7 Superconductors by Ag Doping Concentration(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Tepe, Mustafa; Avcı, İlbeyi; Koçoğlu, H.; Abukay, DoğanThe effect of Ag doping concentration on the microstructure, transport properties and weak-link profile of YBa2Cu3-xAg xO7-δ bulk superconducting compound was investigated through resistance-temperature (R-T), ac magnetic susceptibility (χ-T), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the critical current density (Jc) versus applied magnetic field (Jc-B) measurements. We used the additive method with cationic ratio of x=0.1-0.4 for the YBCO-Ag system. The change in the silver doping concentration slightly affected the transition temperatures (Tc,zero), whereas, the critical current densities (Jc) of the samples and their magnetic field (B) dependencies were noticeably affected. The improvement on the microstructural properties of YBCO bulk superconductors was observed in SEM analysis, the J c values increased and their magnetic field dependencies decreased with the increasing of Ag concentration up to x=0.2. As well as the current transport properties. Ag doping up to a certain amount produces texturing that gives rise to a modification in the weak-link profile resulting in an enhanced strength of flux pinning which causes an increase in the current carrying capacity.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16The Nearly-Optimal Petrov-Galerkin Method for Convection-Diffusion Problems(Elsevier Ltd., 2003) Neslitürk, Ali İhsan; Harari, IsaacThe nearly-optimal Petrov-Galerkin (NOPG) method is employed to improve finite element computation of convection-dominated transport phenomena. The design of the NOPG method for convection-diffusion is based on consideration of the advective limit. Nonetheless, the resulting method is applicable to the entire admissible range of problem parameters. An investigation of the stability properties of this method leads to a coercivity inequality. The convergence features of the NOPG method for convection-diffusion are studied in an error analysis that is based on the stability estimates. The proposed method compares favorably to the performance of an established technique on several numerical tests.
