Friction stir welding (FSW) is a revolutionary technique for joining high-strength materials, offering superior mechanical properties compared to traditional fusion welding methods. However, achieving optimal surface quality in FSW of Inconel 718 is challenging due to the material's ... Read More
Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Heat Transfer Module, we calculated coupled heat and moisture transport to simulate the amount and distribution of condensed moisture in a train wall, with a special focus on the surface of thermal bridges. We tested two approaches to ... Read More
In Europe considerable building activity can be expected over the coming decades; Net Zero Energy Buildings refers to a building with minimal power, until maximum 15 kW/m^2. In both cases this requires very well insulated buildings with minimal thermal bridges. Concrete balconies, that ... Read More
Geothermal energy systems require precise sizing to ensure efficiency and sustainability, particularly for probe fields and groundwater doublets. We present two specialized applications developed using COMSOL Multiphysics’ Application Builder, leveraging the Heat Transfer and Groundwater ... Read More
Transforming the energy sector worldwide towards renewable, climate-neutral energy sources requires innovative ideas and excellent engineering solutions. In particular, shallow geothermal energy utilization is currently showing a remarkable development. In highly urbanized regions, large ... Read More
The aim of this study is to evaluate the airflow thermal distribution inside a storehouse in different operational conditions. A warehouse of 12,600 m3 in volume is considered for fluid-dynamical and thermal analysis. Coupled Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved considering or ... Read More
The modern microjet engine industry faces an ultimate constraint - a lack of physical platform for innovation, a need to completely develop new, existing technology to eventually test theory. Hence our proposal and development of a framework micro jet engine to be used as a platform for ... Read More
Large arrays, typically consisting of thousands of devices, made from thin film PZT MEMS technology are increasingly being used in several applications including industrial inkjet printers, adaptive optics and so on. Thin film PZT is attractive because of lower operating voltages and ... Read More
As the global energy transition accelerates, large-scale seasonal thermal energy storage systems are becoming critical components of future sustainable and resilient district heating networks. Among various storage technologies, cavern thermal energy storage (CTES) offers a promising ... Read More
Large underground mines (LUMs), which constitute over 60% of metal and nonmetal mining operations in the United States, are critical to national infrastructure and materials supply (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023; Gendrue et al., 2021). These mines are characterized by vast entries exceeding ... Read More
