NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) program is pioneering new approaches for rapidly developing prototype systems, demonstrating key capabilities, and validating operational concepts for future human missions beyond Earth orbit" [1]. Under the new Atmosphere Revitalization Recovery ... Read More
Packed beds are important in the chemical industries. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can simulate detailed flow and scalar transport in packed beds for improved understanding and quantitative information. We present simulations of single-phase gas flow, conjugate heat transfer and ... Read More
The conventional route to hydrogen production is by steam reforming of methane (MSR) in a multitubular packed bed. With the increasing use of biodiesel as a renewable fuel, interest has grown in steam reforming of the excess glycerol produced as a side product (GSR). We use COMSOL ... Read More
This work used the 3D CFD modeling to investigate non-uniform deactivation in packed bed reactors of low aspect ratios under steady state and dynamic operations. In order to explore the effects of condition of instability on local deactivation, detailed knowledge of flow dynamics (i.e. ... Read More
The process of accelerated curing of pre-cast concrete has a significant importance in the thermal behavior of concrete. A multiphysics model that describes hydration and heat and mass transport in cement based materials was developed. The hydration reactions are described by a maturity ... Read More
The complex internal flow field of a hypersonic air-breathing propulsion engine was modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. This type of flow field can be found in a dual-mode scramjet engine. After creating the geometry, a 2D CFD simulation was run using the High Mach Number Flow ... Read More
Predictive food microbiology currently first requires experimental data for growth on fresh produce and then fitting an empirical or semi-empirical model to the data, making extrapolation to other conditions (temperature, type of produce) difficult. Herein, we develop a mechanistic ... Read More
A simple steady-state photo-fermentative biochemical model was developed using the COMSOL Multiphysics'® Transport of Diluted Species physics interface. A dimensionless model seeks optimal physical parameters based on given biochemical parameters found in literature. A parametric sweep ... Read More
在可再生能源需求不断增长的背景下，本研究探索了一种新型的湿气发电（Moisture Electricity Generation, MEG）技术。这项技术利用地球上最丰富的资源——水，为环境友好型能源泛在获取开辟了新途径。然而，MEG器件内部的理化过程相当复杂，难以直观分析【2】。为了克服这一挑战，本研究采用了COMSOL Multiphysics®软件进行模拟仿真，以量化阐释这些复杂的动态理化过程。 集成仿真模型结合了多孔介质流、化学反应工程和电磁模块，通过耦合Richards方程、Nernst-Planck方程和Poisson方程 ... Read More
本工作提出一种双螺旋微波辅助生产生物柴油反应器来克服现有大规模连续流微波加热的局限性。基于隐函数、水平集和任意拉格朗日-欧拉公式（ALE）的算法，建立了一个关于微波加热、化学反应工程和流体搅拌流动的综合模型，通过流动连续性一致对使速度连续。在此模型中甲醇和油酸的摩尔比为6:1，以浓硫酸为催化剂，反应过程中所用的材料参数是关于反应溶液组分和温度的双变量函数。利用该模型，计算了加热过程中管道内部混合溶液温度、生成的油酸质量分数以及反应速率。 Read More
