Technical advancements in miniaturization in the last decades have, among others, brought forth the technology of so called “Lab-on-a-Chip” (LOC) systems. These systems provide the possibility to automate and accelerate certain laboratory processes, e.g., biomedical diagnostics, on the ... Read More
This work, which is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, presents the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for simulating an ensemble averaged electric arc in a laboratory-scale electric arc furnace. The SisAl Pilot project aims at optimising the silicon production in ... Read More
Activated carbon filtration has proven to be a reliable method to clean indoor air. In such a system, air, contaminated with VOCs, is led through the filter where the contaminants are adsorbed onto the filter. However, for the long term stability of the air purification system, it is ... Read More
Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printing technologies are widely used in the field of industrial coding and marking. These technologies are based on the emission of a high-speed jet of ink droplets (20 m/s) onto the surface of a moving medium. To maintain sufficient print quality, it is ... Read More
The blast furnace shaft is a huge counter flow reactor in which heat and mass exchange play a significant role in its mathematical modelling. The heat exchange model is already available in COMSOL Multiphysics® via the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium interface. This multiphysics coupling ... Read More
Heterogeneous photocatalysis an advanced oxidation process (AOP) which in combination with a catalyst and UV irradiation completely mineralizes organic pollutants from water or gases into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photocatalysis as a process is ... Read More
To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming below 2 K compared to pre-industrial level, significant energy savings in all fields of industries will be required. One example of energy intensive processes in industrial fabrication is heat treatment. The applied ... Read More
A numerical model of laser welding process applied on highly optically reflective and thermally conductive materials such as copper has been developped. The latter considers multiphysical couplings of CFD, heat transfers and phase-field representation to account for topological ... Read More
