CHOOSING THE OPTIMAL GEL MORPHOLOGY IN ELECTROPHORESIS SEPARATION BY A DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION APPROACH (DEA)

Abstract This paper introduces an effective optimization approach to investigate the morphological effects of nanocomposite gel electrophoresis and operational parameters (see below) by integrating the numerical simulations based on finite element method and population-based search algorithm such as differential evolution. Simulations are performed to study the solute transport by Convection-Diffusion-Electromigration in a microvoid with axially varying cross-section. Morphological parameters such as channel shape and size, as well as operational parameters such as pressure gradient in the axi...
