[3] Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Università del Sannio, Benevento BN, Italy

GalFeNol is a new Giant Magnetostrictive Material that can be used in energy harvesting especially in vibration reduction applications, thanks to the Joule and Villari effects. A 3D-model of GalFeNol rod is stressed by a time varying longitudinal force of 1000 N. The study has been ... Read More

Computer Simulation of Microwave Heating of Initially Frozen Sandwiches Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder

D. Fu [1], L. Wang [2], J. Liao [1], S. Dus [1], K. Bearson [1],
[1] Tyson Foods, Downers Grove, IL, USA
[2] Simulprocess, Summerfield, NC, USA

Customers typically prepare sandwiches using a microwave oven to heat a frozen sandwich. This causes huge temperature variations and quality issues due to multicomponent with different dielectric and physical properties and with phase changes at different freezing points in the heating ...

FEM Convergence for PDEs with Point Sources in 2-D and 3-D

M. Gobbert [1], K. M. Kalayeh [2], J. S. Graf [1],
[1] Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA
[2] Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA

Numerical theory provides the basis for quantification of the accuracy and reliability of a FEM solution by error estimates on the FEM error vs. the mesh spacing of the FEM mesh. This paper presents techniques needed in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to perform computational studies for ... Read More

Single-Phase Modeling in Microchannel with Piranha Pin Fin

X. Yu [1], C. Woodcock [1], Y. Peles [2], J. Plawsky [1],
[1] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA
[2] University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA

Microchannel has shown potential to dissipate high heat flux in past years [1][2]. At the same time, liquid cooling attracts more and more attention from researchers for its favorable thermal properties and ability to cool down hot and keep acceptable system temperature [3][4][5]. This ... Read More

Simulation of the Cooling and Phase Change of a Melt-Cast Explosive

W. Sanhye [1], C. Dubois [1], P. Pelletier [2], I. Laroche [2],
[1] Department of Chemical Engineering, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada
[2] General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems-Canada Inc., Repentigny, QC, Canada

Introduction Numerical modeling of melt-casting is becoming a popular tool for the energetic materials and explosives industry. Compared to traditional metal casting, the cooling cycle for explosive melts is significantly longer because of their high Prandtl numbers [1]. Improving the ... Read More

Design of Solar Thermal Dryers for 24-hour Food Drying Processes

F. S. Alleyne [1], R. R. Milczarek [1],
[1] Healthy Processed Foods Research Unit, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Albany, CA, USA

Solar drying is a ubiquitous method that has been adopted for many years as a food preservation method. Most of the published articles in the literature provide insight on the performance of solar dryers in service but little information on the dryer construction material selection ... Read More

Design, Simulation, and Fabrication of Thermal Angular Accelerometers

H. Alrowais [1],
[1] School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA

This abstract introduces a sensor design for detecting angular acceleration in a single plane using thermal convection. The working principal of the device is based on probing temperature profile changes along a micro-torus caused by angular acceleration. By properly choosing the ... Read More

CFD Analysis of a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger

K. Wegman [1], X. Sun [1],
[1] Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA

In this experiment, the performance of a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger (PCHE) was studied using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. PCHEs are diffusion bonded heat exchangers containing semicircular, chemically etched flow paths. Helium was used as the working fluid on both the hot and cold ... Read More

M. Sharobeam [1], S. Pal [1], G. Villanuna [1],
[1] School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Stockton University, Galloway, NJ, USA

Stockton University has one of the largest closed loop geothermal system in North America. It provides heating and cooling for the university academic facilities. The well field comprises of a grid of four hundred wells bored to a depth of 130m. The ground is composed of three aquifers ... Read More

2D Axisymmetric Temperature Profile Modeling of a Delayed Coking Drum During Pre-Run Warm Up

P. H. A. Valenca [1], A. Waturuocha [1], K. Wisecarver [1],
[1] Russell School of Chemical Engineering, University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK, USA

Delayed Coking is a refining process, which takes heavy petroleum residue as a feed. A 2D axisymmetric stationary model was created to simulate this pre-run condition with nitrogen gas, as an attempt to calibrate the model before simulating with an oil residue. The single-phase laminar ... Read More
