TFEC 2021 Conference Program

The 2021 American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE)

Conference will be held on May 26-28, 2021. While we were planning to

hold our meeting in beautiful New Orleans LA, due to ongoing COVID-19

concerns, the conference will be a virtual conference held entirely online.

Because the 5th Thermal Fluids Engineering Conferences (TFEC) was

postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 conference will be a

combination of the 5th and 6th TFEC to accommodate papers transferred

from 2020.

ASTFE is the premier international society by and for professionals

within the thermal and ﬂuids science and engineering community. The

2021 ASTFE conference provides an international forum for the dis-

semination of the latest research and knowledge in the thermal and

ﬂuid sciences.

About ASTFE

The American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE) is a

U.S. nonproﬁt organization based in New York City. The organization

is operating to arrange professional communications, support confer-

ences and professional communities. It is supported by individual con-

tributors, private foundations and other governmental bodies. ASTFE

supports the Open Access movement.

Mission

ASTFE aims at providing opportunities to promote the dissemination of

information and knowledge regarding thermal and ﬂuids engineering,

both nationally and internationally. It aligns itself with globally collabo-

rative activities in the traditional areas of heat transfer and ﬂuids engi-

neering, as well as, in emerging areas such as those related to energy,

environmental sustainability, manufacturing, thermal management,

and micro- and nano-scale transport phenomena.

ASTFE encourages the personal and professional development of

young scientists and engineers, and promotes cooperation with other

engineering and technical societies to enhance interactions with indus-

try, government agencies and the public at large. Of particular interest

to the Society is the organization of conferences and workshops that

bring together diverse groups in these ﬁelds.

Vision

The long-term vision of the society is to be a leading organization to bring

thermal and ﬂuids engineers together to exchange ideas and present re-

sults to impact on new, emerging and challenging problems in research

and technology. It is focused on international collaborations, strong in-

teractions with industry and providing a dynamic atmosphere for young

and upcoming researchers and engineers in this ﬁeld.

History

ASTFE was established in July 2014 to promote the science and ap-

plications of thermal and ﬂuids engineering and related disciplines.

ASTFE cooperates with several awards, such as the William Begell

Medal, the Nukiyama Memorial Award, and the Global Energy Inter-

national Prize.

The William Begell Medal is made possible by the support of the Exec-

utive Committee of the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer

(ICHMT) and the Assembly for International Heat Transfer Confer-

ences (AIHTC) and the generosity of Begell House Inc.

The Nukiyama Memorial Award has been established and sponsored

by the Heat Transfer Society of Japan to commemorate outstanding

contributions by Shiro Nukiyama as an excellent heat transfer scientist.

Nukiyama addressed the challenges of the boiling phenomena and

published a pioneering paper which clariﬁed these phenomena in the

form of the Nukiyama curve (boiling curve).

Abstract: The Mighty Mississippi River’s watershed is the world’s third

largest, draining all or part of 32 US states (41% of the country) and

two Canadian provinces. Twenty million people in over 50 cities depend

directly on the River for their drinking water. The watershed overlays

the world’s most productive cropland, producing 90% of our country’s

agricultural exports and contributing billions of dollars to the US econo-

my. The Mississippi continues, as it did in Mark Twain’s time, to be the

watery superhighway that carries bulk goods such as farm produce to

foreign markets – usually. The historic rains and associated ﬂooding of

2019 impacted life on the Mississippi. From May of 2018 through April of

2019, the contiguous US experienced its wettest year in over 124 years

of record-keeping. Farmers were impacted by too much rain and ﬂooded

ﬁelds. Flooding crippled river commerce by limiting or halting river navi-

gation due to severe high water. Perhaps the most worrisome facet of this

year’s high water, especially for New Orleans, is that it extended deep into

the summer months. Typically the Mississippi River’s annual high water

season has ended before June 1, the start of the hurricane season. Factor

a major hurricane’s storm surge on top of an already high river, and the

Mississippi River levees could be overtopped. Just how did we manage

all of this water in 2019? And, perhaps, more importantly, how should we

“manage” the Mighty Mississippi in the future?

Abstract: Euler-Lagrange point-particle (EL-PP) technique has been in-

creasingly employed for solving particle, droplet and bubble-laden ﬂows.

Since ﬂow around the individual particles is not resolved, the accuracy of

the technique depends on the ﬁdelity of the force law used for represent-

ing the ﬂuid-particle momentum exchange that occurs at the microscale.

The main focus of this talk is the use of emerging machine learning tech-

niques along with physical insight into methods that can yield fully-re-

solved accuracy at six orders of magnitude lower cost.

The traditional applicability of the standard EL-PP approach has however

been limited to (i) particles of size much smaller than the grid scale and

(ii) dilute ﬂows where inter-particle interaction is weak. In this talk we will

discuss recent fundamental developments that begin to ease these lim-

itations. With increasing numerical resolution, as the grid size approaches

the particle size, we face the unpleasant prospect of force law becoming

less accurate. This is due to the self-induced ﬂow generated at the particle

location, which corrupts the estimation of undisturbed ﬂow velocity that

is needed in the force evaluation. We will discuss theoretical approached

to properly correcting for the self-induced ﬂow. We will also present the

data-driven pairwise interaction extended point-particle (PIEP) model

which rigorously extends the point-particle technique to higher volume

fractions. This model systematically accounts for the precise location of all

the neighboring particles in computing the hydrodynamic force on each

particle. We will also present results from application of deep learning

where the algorithm is trained to predict multiphase ﬂow and its implica-

tion to subgrid modeling.

of Florida. Currently he is a distinguished professor at the University of

Florida. He is the William F. Powers Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace

Engineering and the Director of College of Engineering Institute for Com-

putational Engineering.

Bala received the Francois Naftali Frenkiel Award from American Physical

Society (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) in 1996 and the Arnold

O. Beckman Award and the University Scholar Award from University of

Illinois. He is Fellow of ASME and the American Physical Society Division

of Fluid Dynamics. He was the recipient of ASME Freeman Fellow in 2017

and Gad Hetsroni Senior Award from IVMF in 2019. He is currently the

co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Multiphase Flow and a

handling editor of the Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Abstract: The presentation summaries the ﬁndings of a series of labora-

tory studies aimed at characterizing the breakup surface crude oil slicks

and subsurface oil plumes along with mechanisms affecting the result-

ing droplet size distributions. For crude oil slicks, where the breakup is

dominated by turbulent shear, the characteristic droplet size distribution

can be modeled using classical Weber number-based Hinze scaling. Once

entrained, the temporal evolution of the concentration and size distribu-

tion of these droplets can be modeled effectively as combined effects of

turbulent diffusion and buoyant rise. In contrast, mixing the crude oil with

Corexit 9500 dispersant, which drastically reduces the oil-water interfacial

tension, decreases the characteristic droplet scales to the micron range

in a phenomenon – tip streaming, that cannot be modeled based

on turbulence length scales. Continued fragmentation of entrained oil-dis-

persant droplets under the inﬂuence of mild residual turbulence long after

the wave breaking can also be attributed to tip streaming. Aerosolization of

oil is caused both by the initial wave breaking splash and by subsequent

bubble bursting, as entrained bubbles rise back to the surface. Premixing

the oil with dispersant increases the concentration of airborne nano-drop-

lets by one to two orders of magnitude, raising potential health concern.

In contrast, the dispersant causes a reduction in concentration of volatile

organic compounds, consistent with prior studies. In subsurface oil jets

exposed to cross ﬂow, the plume width is dominated by interactions of the

droplets with the counter-rotating vortex pair dominating the near ﬁeld of

this jet. Small droplets are entrained into the core of these vortices and de-

ﬁne the lower boundary of the plume while large droplets escape and de-

ﬁne the upper bounds. Hence, dispersants alter the entire conﬁguration of

the plume, increasing the fraction of oil entrained into the vortex pair, and

lowering the upper boundary of the plume. The droplet sizes, location of

plume breakup, and even the plume scales are Reynolds- or Weber-num-

ber dependent. Entrainment of water ﬁlaments generates oil-water com-

pound droplets, i.e. oil droplets containing multiple smaller water droplets,

causing a signiﬁcant increase in the oil-water interfacial area.

Title: The Recent Advancements and Aero-thermal Challenges for

Modern Aeroengines

Day 3 — May 28, 2021

9:00-10:00 AM — TFEC Plenary Lecture

Abstract: Signiﬁcant improvements in the performance, durability and

structural integrity of gas turbine engines has been achieved through the

application of controlled numerical and physical experiments. The focus

of these experiments has mostly been towards improving the main gas

path portion of various components of the engine. There is, however, still

a need to address the present day challenges of developing engines with

limited resources and operating them in non-ideal environments

In this presentation, critical contributions made to enhance the perfor-

mance of each component of an engine, are discussed. Opportunities

to further improve each component through enhanced understanding of

loss generation mechanisms are also identiﬁed. Examples are provided

to demonstrate that adverse interactions between adjacent components

can result in a signiﬁcant increase in the time and cost of development

of an engine. Timely conducted, high-ﬁdelity simulations can be used to

predict and manage these interactions. Multi-disciplinary simulations can

also be utilized to further improve the durability and structural integrity of

an engine.

The importance of developing improved understanding and modeling

of the secondary ﬂow-path in an engine is highlighted and identiﬁed as

one of the critical elements necessary to develop advanced gas turbine

engines. There is also a need to quantify and account for the impact of

the operating environment and the local weather during the design and

validation phases of an engine development.

An extensive amount of data are generated during the design, validation

and operation of an engine. There is a need to assemble and interrogate

these data to generate guidelines for improved operation and future de-

signs. Data analytic techniques and machine learning can be utilized to

develop enhanced understanding of the physical mechanisms which can

then be further used to reduce the cost of ownership of an engine.

Abstract: A common misconception in the substitution of fossil fuels with

renewables for the generation of electric power is that the amount of elec-

tric energy supplied from wind and solar sources may be increased with-

out limit. The production of electricity from wind energy is intermittent, the

production from solar irradiance is periodically variable and, oftentimes,

the supply is not sufﬁcient to satisfy the demand. In addition, the instal-

lation of large numbers of solar and wind units and the generation of a

higher fraction of the total annual energy from renewables in a region

meets a barrier during periods of time when the power produced by the

renewable sources is high and exceeds the demand of the electricity grid.

At present, this limit is reached when solar and wind units produce 25-

30% of the annual quantity of electric energy used in a region. Solutions

to this problem for a higher penetration of renewables in the marketplace

include large scale energy storage.

This presentation examines the causes and effects of the U-shaped de-

mand curve (the duck curve). The analysis is based on hourly data for the

supply of electricity from PV cells and wind turbines and the regional de-

mand for energy and power. The hourly energy demand is analyzed and

balanced with the supply of energy. Energy storage systems ensure that

sufﬁcient energy is available to the consumers at all levels of the demand.

Hourly data are presented for the demand, the supply, and the storage

system capacity in the following cases:

• A region of an electric grid that includes several cities, with thousands

of buildings and signiﬁcant industrial output.

• The entire electricity grid of Texas (ERCOT).

Results are presented on the hourly, daily, and seasonal storage require-

ments; on the energy production and consumption for the wider market

penetration of wind and solar units within a region; and the effect of the

substitution of fossil fuels with renewables on the price of electricity in a

region; and the effect on the goals for a sustainable future.

Abstract: Heat transfer process in an oscillating heat pipe (OHP) involves

liquid-vapor interfacial phenomenon, surface forces, thermally excited

mechanical vibration, evaporation and condensation heat transfer, and

oscillated forced convection. The most outstanding feature is that an OHP

can effectively integrate the state-of-the-art of heat transfer processes

such as thin ﬁlm evaporation, oscillating ﬂow, thermally-excited mechan-

ical vibration, high heat transfer coefﬁcient of entrance region, vortices

induced by the oscillating ﬂow of liquid plugs and vapor bubbles, and

near-wall velocity overshoot (Richardson’s annular effect). Therefore, the

OHP can achieve an extra high effective thermal conductivity. The oscil-

lating/pulsating motions in the OHP depends on the surface conditions,

dimensions, working ﬂuid, operating temperature, heat ﬂux and total heat

load, orientation, number of meandering turns, and, most importantly,

the ﬁlling ratio. This presentation introduces recent results of OHPs in the

ﬁeld including theoretical models of oscillating motion and heat transfer

of single phase and two-phase ﬂows in capillary tubes or channels, heat

transfer mechanisms enhancing oscillating motions and heat transfer of

two-phase ﬂows, neutron imaging study of oscillating motions, and nano-

ﬂuid’s effect on the heat transfer performance in OHPs. The importance

of thermally-excited oscillating motion combined with phase change heat

Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) is essential when the energy source

is intermittent. For instance, the concentrated solar power (CSP) technology

becomes much more practical when a CSP plant includes a TES system,

which at present is typically implemented through molten salts which are

inexpensive, safe and abundant. However, these sensible-heat-based stor-

age systems have many shortcomings, including their vast size and huge

amounts of material required. For this reason, some other technologies are

considered, including latent-heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems

that utilize the phase change materials (PCM). The number of research

works on all aspects of PCM use is growing very fast, but many of the stud-

ies published today in fact re-discover or re-invent the earlier knowledge,

and in some cases even distort or obscure it. Thus, this talk’s ﬁrst aim is

to present state-of-the-art knowledge for heat transfer in LHTES, based on

a historical perspective of heat transfer research in this rich and important

ﬁeld. In particular, we discuss heat transfer enhancement in PCM: various

enhancement methods are presented and their merits are evaluated. The

second aim of this talk is to present the ongoing heat transfer research

in the ﬁeld, in an attempt to outline its more promising future directions.

The presentation is based, to a very large extent, on the author's personal

knowledge and experience in design and modeling of PCM systems. Our

attention is dedicated to some indispensable details and subtleties, which

can affect the processes signiﬁcantly but are frequently overlooked.

Abstract: Intravenously injected microbubbles are used as contrast en-

hancing agents in diagnostic ultrasound imaging. They are coated by a

nanometer-thick shell of lipids, proteins or polymers which stabilizes them

against premature dissolution. In 2003, we proposed that the shell be mod-

eled as an interface with an intrinsic interfacial rheology, characterized by

properties such as interfacial viscosities and elasticities. This was a sharp

contrast to the prevalent practice of modeling the microbubble coating us-

ing ad hoc parameters or as a ﬁnite-thickness layer with bulk rheological

properties. We applied interfacial rheological models to commercial con-

trast agents, determined the values of their characteristic interfacial prop-

erties and validated the model using in vitro acoustic experiments. Over the

years, we have developed a hierarchical approach of contrast agent mod-

eling where models were progressively reﬁned as warranted by validating

experiments and the underlying physics. We have built an in-house facility

for synthesizing lipid-coated microbubbles and micro- and nanodroplets of

volatile perﬂuorocarbon liquid, and have been investigating fundamental

phenomena such as acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) and bioeffects of

ultrasound and microbubbles in cancer therapy and stem cell tissue engi-

neering.

Abstract: Gas turbines are often used as prime movers for electric power

production. Inlet air fogging consists of spraying atomized water into the

inlet air ﬂow of a gas turbine. When the small droplets evaporate, they cool

the air ﬂow, which makes the air denser. Denser air means the air mass

ﬂow to the turbine is increased, which causes an increase in output power.

Cooling the air by 20 °F can lead to a power boost of 20 percent or more.

An additional power boost can be obtained by spraying water directly into

the gas turbine compressor. The water evaporates inside the compressor,

resulting in an intercooling effect. This presentation explains the basic sci-

ence and technology of gas turbine inlet air fogging and gives examples of

several of the more than one thousand installations that Mee Industries has

performed to date.

Bio: Thomas is Chairman and CEO of Mee Industries Inc. Mee Industries

Title: River Management and Flooding Sources Impacting the New Orleans Area

Abstract: Sprays are useful in many applications including food process-

ing, coating, 3D printing, ﬁre suppression, agricultural production, and

combustion systems. Studying the near-ﬁeld region of a spray is often hin-

dered by its optically dense nature, rendering optical and laser diagnos-

tics ineffective. X-ray techniques are capable of penetrating this optically

dense region and providing detailed information on liquid atomization and

breakup. X-rays can be produced with tube sources as well as synchrotron

sources. Using tube source X-rays, 2D radiographic videos are possible

showing qualitative spray information. The 2D radiographs can also provide

quantitative measurements of the optical depth (OD) in the near-ﬁeld re-

gion. Tube sources can also provide X-ray computed tomography imaging

that can produce time-average 3D density (mass distribution) maps of the

spray. X-rays from synchrotron sources can have energy ﬂuxes up to six or-

ders of magnitude larger than that from tube sources, which allows for high

spatial and temporal measurements of the spray, but is more challenging to

implement than using a common tube source. Common synchrotron X-ray

measurement techniques include focused beam radiography, high-speed

ﬂow visualization and phase contrast imaging, and X-ray ﬂorescence.

This talk will detail several X-ray measurement techniques using both tube

sources and synchrotron sources. Examples of each method used in spray

systems will be presented. Advantages and disadvantages of the various

methods will also be summarized.

with state and local agency partners to ensure the safety of the city and

surrounding areas by effectively jointly managing the ﬂood risk manage-

ment infrastructure to defend against impacts of potential inundation due

to coastal storms, river ﬂoods, and interior rainfall. The presentation will

provide an overview of the USACE's projects and tasks in New Orleans

District's area pf responsibility, and discuss the sources of ﬂooding, the

methods of handing those ﬂoods, and the results of the performance of

selected projects.

Abstract: Since the Kigali amendment to Montreal Protocol there is con-

fusion and an atmosphere of uncertainty regarding the future of refrig-

erants. This uncertainty is felt within the industrial refrigeration market

which is a multi-billion dollar per year business around the world. Besides

the developed world the crunch will also be heard within the developing

world where efﬁcient cold chain is will be an essential element of pro-

gressive life for the population. There is obviously a clear need for a way

forward that would keep the cold chain in tact on a global scale. A brief

current scenario and possible solutions will be presented.

Abstract: In this presentation, Professor Ma introduces his experience that

he started his two companies: ThermAvant Technologies, LLC, and Ther-

mAvant International, LLC as a professor in the department of Mechanical

&Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri. The presentation

will discuss the nature and unique features of an engineer entrepreneur,

and provide an insight into what an engineer entrepreneur is. While a real

innovative technology is the foundation to start up a new company, the

team effort including marketing, sales, and capital investment is a key for

a small company to start up. In addition, mission, perseverance, and ded-

ication, which will make the company’s products unique and competitive,

are necessary conditions for a startup company to be successful.

Bio: Dr. Hongbin Ma is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical &

Aerospace Engineering, and the director of the Center of Thermal Man-

agement in the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri (MU).

He has conducted active research in the ﬁelds of phase-change heat

transfer, heat pipes, ejector refrigeration, and thermal management. His

research work has resulted in more than 260 publications including 1

book, 5 book chapters, and over 150 refereed journal papers. The contri-

butions he made are not only in scientiﬁc fundamental research but also

in engineering applications. His research efforts led to the establishments

of both companies of ThermAvant Technologies (TAT) (www.thermavant.

com), where he is cofounder and president, and ThermAvant International

(TAI) (www.burnoutmugs.com, www.lexolife.com, and www.amazon.com

searching burnout mugs) where he is cofounder and CEO, to further de-

velop and commercialize his research results. While TAT has become the

only company in world to manufacture and sell high performance oscillat-

ing heat pipe (OHP) cooling devices to the top defense companies in USA

and led to earning the 2018 100 R&D Award, TAI’s drink-now technology

has resulted in the temperature-controlled coffee mugs known as Burnout

and Lexo Tumblers which can cool down hot beverages to the perfect

drinking temperature instantly and retain this temperature for many hours.

He is a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME),

Associate Editors of ASME Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering

Application, and International Journal of Heat Transfer Research.

Abstract: Much of the world believes that global warming can be mitigated

through mandated de-carbonization of the atmosphere. Much of the policy

effort has been focused on substituting wind and solar power generation for

power produced by burning fossil fuels.

If the goal is to have at least 24 hours of economical,utility scale, stored

power in order to contend with wind and solar intermittency, we are not

anywhere near meeting that goal. Today, even with deep pockets, 2 hours

is the target.

We, and others, propose an alternate option, similar to the proven LNG stor-

age methodology,in order to store surplus “green” power. This approach

would produce “green” hydrogen. Surplus renewable power would support

the electrolysis of water. The released hydrogenwould then be liqueﬁed and

stored for future use as a fuel in generating power, initially by blending

the hydrogen with pipeline natural gas and using the blended fuelin com-

bustion turbines or larger combined cycle gas plants.Although electrolytic

production of hydrogen is power intensive, even before considering the cost

of liquefaction, it is viewed as a viable option for the use of “free” surplus

renewable power.

While the majority of hydrogen produced today is based on processing nat-

ural gas, a green option is technically possible using electrolysis. We have

been operating NASA space ﬂights for 50 years using engines fueled with

liquid hydrogen and oxygen. Perhaps the ultimate “green” fuel, this ap-

proach produces no CO2 and when the Hydrogen is combusted, the only

exhaust is water.

Finally, another approach, announced by UK researchers, uses surplus

renewable energy to liquefy, perhaps the most ubiquitous of all working ﬂu-

ids, air. Once produced, the liqueﬁed air isstored and then re-gasiﬁed and

used to generate power by feeding the high pressure air to turbo-generators

during periods when wind and solar power are ofﬂine.

Our proposal expands on the British approach by using distillation columns

to remove CO2 from the liqueﬁed air prior to storage. Multiple companies,

including Air Products and Air Liquide have been using cryogenic distilla-

tion to supplyhigh purity oxygen, nitrogen and argon for the better part of

a century.

Abstract: The nuclear industry is at a crossroads. Over the past several

years some units have pre-maturely shutdown and entered into decom-

missioning. Other operating units are clearly stressed economically and

are considering pre-mature closure. The market forces are harsh. Yet,

there are compelling reasons for the nuclear industry to continue to pro-

vide an important contribution to the energy sector and possibly even

expand. Global efforts to address climate change and to meet the energy

needs of developing nations are likely to require large, new sources of

clean, carbon-free energy. Currently, nuclear plants provide roughly 20%

of the electrical power capacity in the U.S., and represent approximately

60% of U.S. carbon-free production. If world-wide demand for increased

carbon-free electrical production continues, nuclear must certainly play

a role.

The U.S. nuclear industry is responding by proposing a wide variety of

advanced non-light water reactors; gas-cooled, liquid metal cooled, mol-

ten salt cooled, and what are termed “micro” reactors cooled using heat

pipes. Both fast and thermal spectrum reactor designs are under active

development, with fuels ranging from TRISO and metallic to liquid fuel

salts. These designs and new fuels are built upon many years of expe-

rience with light-water reactors and offer signiﬁcant improvements in

safety, operation and economics. Modeling and simulation of these new

designs and their behavior during hypothetical accident scenarios rep-

resents a challenge to both design and licensing, in large part to uncer-

tainties in the thermal/ﬂuid behavior. While the opportunities for improved

safety and economics are apparent, the thermal-ﬂuid uncertainties must

be addressed.

Nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics has always been a challenging tech-

nical area as the industry has developed both conventional and passively

cooled light-water reactors and improved fuel designs. For non-LWRs, this

is no exception. The nuclear industry, the U.S. Department of Energy,and

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission are currently working towards

an improved understanding of the safety of advanced designs, new fuel

concepts, and development of the experimental database and analytical

capability to simulate these new concepts.

Bio: Stephen M. Bajorek is the Senior Technical Advisor for Thermal-Hy-

draulics in the NRC's Ofﬁce of Nuclear Regulatory Research, and has

nearly forty years experience in the nuclear industry. While at the NRC

he has been involved with development of the TRACE stet-of-the-art

thermal-hydraulics code, advanced reactor analysis, and the NRC’s ther-

mal-hydraulic test programs and is currently leading the NRC's efforts to

develop simulation codes for non-LWRs. Dr. Bajorek represents the NRC

in international thermal-hydraulic research projects, and has served on

U.S. State Department missions in support of U.S. industry interests. Prior

to joining the NRC staff he was a member of the faculty at Kansas State

University and has over 15 years of industrial experience at Westinghouse

Electric Corp. as a code developer and analyst. At Westinghouse, Dr. Ba-

Abstract: Microphysiological systems—also called “organs-on-chips,”

“tissue chips,” or organoids—are assemblies of living cells on the mi-

cro-scale that are engineered to mimic certain key aspects of human tis-

sue or organ physiology, usually by engineering certain aspects of tissue

structure and/or their physical and chemical microenvironment. These

biological systems are being aggressively pursued as models of diseases

for research and for screening drugs to better predict safety and efﬁcacy

on the path toward clinical trials. As these systems have begun to ad-

vance to commercial application, the need for scaling up has become

apparent. However, unlike traditional chemical reaction processes, mi-

crophysiological systems cannot be scaled simply by volume and mixing,

mainly because of transport limitations of biological processes such as the

availability of oxygen and removal of metabolic by-products that greatly af-

fect physiological outcomes. With ﬁxed upper limits on tissue dimensions

and volume, scale-up for commercialization will have to rely on massively

parallel production and/or innovations in the form factor of conventional

tissue cultures, necessities not typically considered by entrepreneurs en-

tering this ﬁeld.
