In a T-junction microchannel, channel geometry plays a major role that affects the physics
behind droplet generation. The effect of channel width on droplet size and frequency in a T …

Distance education has expanded significantly over the last decade, but the natural
sciences have lagged in the implementation of this instructional mode. The abrupt onset of …

Surface tension is an important property of liquids. It has diverse uses such as testing water
contamination, measuring alcohol concentration in drinks, and identifying the presence of …

The generation of monodispersed droplets in T-junction microchannels has wide range
applications in biochemical analysis and material synthesis. While the generation of these …

We present the first system to determine fluid properties using the LiDAR sensors present on
modern smartphones. Traditional methods of measuring properties like viscosity require …

The interaction between water and surfaces is observed in our daily lives and is used in
laboratories to study materials properties, such as interfacial tension. Making the connection …

In this paper, a smartphone application is presented that was developed to lower the barrier
to introduce particle image velocimetry (PIV) in lab courses. The first benefit is that a PIV …

In industrialized wine production, brewing and aging are two key steps. These two
processes require the liquors to be bottled for a long time, sometimes more than ten years …

We are witnessing a surge in the reported cases of counterfeit liquid products in the market
including olive oil, honey, and alcohol. Counterfeiters often adulterate the liquid products by …
