A comprehensive three dimensional finite element thermal model has been developed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software to understand the thermo-physical behaviour of the uppermost regolith layer of the moon. The model can simulate variable layers, layer thickness and dimensions and can ... Read More
Imaging Infrared Spectrometer (IIRS) is a Hyperspectral optical imaging instrument which measures the spectra of a scene in high resolution within spectral bands covering Near Infrared (NIR) to Mid Infrared (MIR) regions. Radiation entering the spectrometer assembly governs the ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to explore the impact of distributor width on the film thickness, and the resulting sensitivity of overall thermal efficiency in a plate and frame triple-effect evaporator. A stable film is crucial to maintain a minimum wetting rate, to circumvent ... Read More
A three-dimensional heterogeneous model of breast has been modeled with a spherical tumor of 1.5 cm. PID controller has been used to perform temperature-controlled RFA of breast tumor. The coupled effect of blood perfusion and variable conductivity during RFA has been investigated. The ... Read More
Modern aluminum casement windows consist of an inner and outer profile made of aluminum, which are separated by an insulating bar made of polyamide (see Figure 1). Due to the low heat conductivity of the plastic material the thermal interaction between the living space and the ... Read More
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) offers great potential for future manufacturing technology. In order to extend its applicability for the processing of high melting materials like molybdenum fundamental process understanding is required. This can be obtained by multiphysical simulations ... Read More
Time-dependent multiphysical simulation of pulsed and continuous laser welding of dissimilar metals, based on Moving Mesh (ALE) approach, is proposed. Strong coupling between heat transfer, laminar compressible flow and ALE is used. The model was validated for a case of single ... Read More
Thermoelectric materials have no theoretical limit to conversion efficiency of heat into electrical power. In order to compete with other forms of power generation and small-scale energy conversion, thermoelectric converters need to maximize their practical usability when integrated with ... Read More
INTRODUCTION: Abnormalities in local body surface temperature have been recognized as a sign of disease for centuries, much before humans knew about the cause of ailments or of pain [1]. The idea of this work is to use numerical simulation tools to predict the location, size and ... Read More
A 2nd-generation irradiation target holder is being developed at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This 2nd-generation holder design is focused on improving the loading and unloading of the targets by the HFIR operators since a large number of ... Read More
