In a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzer cell (PEMEC), the two electrode compartments are separated by a polymer membrane. Liquid water is fed to the anode side, forming oxygen gas on the anode, and hydrogen gas on the cathode side, respectively. The respective designs of the ... Read More
A potential flow model of fluid flow in a rock fracture uses the so-called Reynolds equation. It shows how to use experimental data interpolated to a function used in the equation. Read More
In this study, the compressible turbulent flow through a supersonic ejector is modeled using the High Mach Number Flow interface in the CFD Module. Ejectors are simple mechanical components used for a wide range of applications, including industrial refrigeration, vacuum generation, gas ... Read More
This model shows how to perform a submodeling analysis in order to evaluate structural stress. Using a submodel helps to compute the results in a refined geometry detail while applying loads and constraints in the global model. Read More
The following example solves a pure conduction and a free-convection problem in which a vacuum flask holding hot coffee dissipates thermal energy. The main interest is to calculate the flask's cooling power; that is, how much heat it loses per unit time. This tutorial model treats the ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to use the Electrostatic interface to calculate the surface electric field of a typical high-voltage insulator. It is shown that the inhomogeneity and the maximum of the surface electric field are greatly reduced with the installation of the grading rings. ... Read More
This example models a solid oxide electrolyzer cell wherein water vapor is reduced to form hydrogen gas on the cathode, and oxygen gas is evolved on the anode. The current distribution in the cell is coupled to the cathode mass transfer of hydrogen and water and momentum transport. Two ... Read More
The goal with this app is to explain experimental electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and to show how you can use a simulation app, along with measurements, to estimate the properties of lithium-ion batteries. The app takes measurements from an EIS experiment and ... Read More
This model investigates the wave propagation in a photonic crystal that consists of GaAs pillars placed equidistant from each other. The distance between the pillars determines a relationship between the wave number and the frequency of the light, which prevents light of certain ... Read More
This model treats the free convection and heat transfer of a glass of cold water heated to room temperature. Initially, the glass and the water are at 5 °C and are then put on a table in a room at 25 °C. The nonisothermal flow is coupled to heat transfer using the Heat Transfer module. Read More
