FEM modeling of highly strained monocrystalline ZnTe/CdTe core-shell hetero-nanowires
The monocrystalline semiconductor nanowires (NWs) attract great interest as they reveal new properties that differs from the ones of the bulk equivalents. In addition to small size (10-100 nm diameter), one of their advantages is extremely high surface to volume ratio. This determines ... Read More
Modelling Ion Production inside an Electron Impact Ionizer for High-Vacuum Gas Analysis
Residual Gas Analyzers (RGA) are often used to measure background gases and contaminations in vacuum systems. An ionizer is used to ionize gas molecules and these ions are accelerated and focused by an electrical field from the ion source to form an ion beam. The ions can be ... Read More
Understanding the increased performance of novel interconnected-channel monolithic reactors
The versatility of the 3D printing technology has allowed developing originally structured catalysts for interesting reactions, for instance, the 0.5wt.%Fe/SiC monoliths for the treatment of industrial wastewater. These monolithic structures, manufactured by Robocasting, have ... Read More
ENGINEERING INTERCONNECTED-CHANNEL MONOLITHIC REACTORS: FROM COMSOL TO 3D PRINTING
Three-dimensional (3D) printed 0.52 wt.% Fe/SiC monoliths with interconnected channels, fabricated by direct ink printing or Robocasting, are feasible and robust catalysts for the hydroxylation of phenol to dihydroxybenzenes using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in aqueous media [1]. ... Read More
Shadowing Effects of Monofunctional Catalysts in TAP Reactors
Industrial catalytic processes require tailored catalysts with an optimized performance to reduce energy consumption and waste products. Besides an optimum temperature, pressure, and composition, the distribution of active material can be seen as a valuable additional design variable. ... Read More
Simulation of Laser-Induced Forward Transfer of High-Viscosity pastes
Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) is a direct-write technique for transferring small volumes (even picolitres) of material through laser irradiation. The characteristics of this material can be in a wide range of viscosities and can respond to different rheological behaviors, from ... Read More
Particle Steering in Magnetic Drug Targeting: A Simple Comsol Model
Magnetic nanoparticles offer numerous applications in medical diagnosis and therapy. One example of a possible application is the so-called Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT), which is a therapeutic approach in cancer therapy. Thereby, the cancer drug is bounded to magnetic nanoparticles, ... Read More
Modeling the Flow Inside a Cooling Jacket in order to Prevent Corrosion Marks Problem
Corrosion marks were found in specific areas on the outer wall of a process container. The container is cooled by a spiral cooling jacket. The corrosion marks were found in the lower and upper circumference of the container and also in the areas adjacent to the water inlet and outlet. ... Read More
Static Magnetic Localization of Capsule Endoscopes: A Differential Method
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a less invasive alternative to conventional endoscopy. In WCE, a patient swallows a small capsule equipped with a camera, allowing a video of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be captured for diagnostic analysis. To ensure an accurate diagnosis and ...

Implementation of an Optimization Method for Inverse Heat Conduction and Sensor Position Correction
Heat conduction problems can be divided into direct and inverse problems. In direct problems, the thermal boundary condition (heat flux or temperature) is given and its effect is calculated, while for inverse problems the boundary condition is determined based on its effect. For some ... Read More
