Electromagnetic heating is ideally suited for modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics. This model shows the area of hyperthermic oncology but the modeling issues and techniques are generally applicable to any problem involving electromagnetic heating. The purpose of this model is to compute the ... Read More
In this model, we show how to model Seebeck effect which works as a thermoelectric generator. Seebeck effect is a phenomena where the difference in temperature of a material leads to a potential difference. The potential drawn in this model was compared with the paper by Jaegle (Example ...

In massive forming processes like rolling or extrusion, metal alloys are deformed in a hot solid state with material flowing under ideally plastic conditions. Such processes can be simulated effectively using computational fluid dynamics, where the material is considered as a fluid with ... Read More
All integrated circuits (ICs) — especially high-speed devices — produce heat. In today’s dense electronic system layouts, heat sources are many times placed close to heat-sensitive ICs. Designers of printed circuit boards often need to consider the relative placement of heat ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how a plate-fin heat exchanger made of aluminum is used to cool down hot oil with colder air. In order to maximize heat transfer, the heat exchanger is made of a porous aluminum matrix in which the hot oil flows. Heat is conducted through aluminum fins in ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parameterized geometry A results table form object containing outputs Finned pipes are used for coolers, heaters, or heat exchangers to increase heat transfer. They come in different sizes and designs depending on the ... Read More
Thermal management of a battery pack is simulated considering two scenarios, air (natural convection) and phase change material (PCM) in the gap between the batteries. The PCM considered is a composite material of paraffin wax and graphite additive. Graphite is typically added for ... Read More
This tutorial model illustrates how to analyze the thermal effects of the sun as an external radiative source and considers wavelength-dependent surface emissivities. Specifically, the model features two coolers containing beverage cans that are exposed to ambient conditions and a beach ... Read More
When producing glass, the glass melt is cooled down through radiation to form the final shape, subjecting it to stresses. Numerical treatment of radiative heat transfer, using the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE), helps to optimize this process. COMSOL Multiphysics provides three ... Read More
Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, is a process for drying heat-sensitive substances such as foods, blood plasma, and antibiotics. The wet substance is frozen and then, through sublimation, ice (or some other frozen solvent) is removed in the presence of a high vacuum. This example ... Read More
