Surface discharge at the oil-pressboard interface has been classified as the most dangerous fault condition in power transformer because it results in catastrophic failure under normal operating conditions and difficult to be detected. In order to understand the physical features of ... Read More
Design and safety analyses are underway to convert the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) from a high-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to a low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The primary constraint for the project is that the overall fuel plate ... Read More
Murphy and Good general theory for electron emission from metal surfaces was used to predict the field-emission capabilities of ideal arrays of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT). The Nottingham effect was taken into account in order to explain experimental observation of a ... Read More
随着我国国民经济的持续高速发展，生活与生产的用电量越来越大，电力行业的规模日益增大。电力设备在不正常工作时，大多会产生电弧电晕，通过检测电晕电弧等目标，就可以获知电力系统设备的损害程度。然而，目前并没有对真实的电弧电晕目标进行非光子计数方式的定量化研究。本文作者研制了一套紫外外波段的面阵成像探测系统，对实验室人工制造的高电压电弧电晕目标进行了相关的分析与实验研究。 利用 COMSOL Multiphysics® 的等离子体物理场接口的 DC 放电接口，对实验所用的天梯仪器的放电行为建模，分子碰撞数据选择大气压下的空气模型，对电晕放电辉光主要贡献的成分N2+ ... Read More
Logging-while-drilling (LWD) acoustic transducers provide real-time data about the geologic and geophysical properties of the borehole that ensure safety margins and optimize completion. It is important to understand what causes the different resonance modes in the transmitter and obtain ... Read More
In this contribution we present a COMSOL Multiphysics® example of a disk piezoelectric ceramic transformer (D-PT) coupled with a bipolar NPN transistor to form an auto-oscillator. The comparison between the simulations and the measurements made on our prototype are found to be in good ... Read More
High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps are energy-efficient light sources with excellent color qualities. A three-dimensional model of a low-wattage lamp, which includes plasma, electrodes, and burner walls, was developed in COMSOL Multiphysics®. Most parameters appearing in the coupled ... Read More
Large format Li-Ion battery cells (LIBC), often employed in electric vehicles (EV), show notable gradients in current and temperature distribution. This inhomogeneity can influence the cell’s safety and accelerate battery aging. It is, however, difficult to determine the local ... Read More
The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) is home to the UK’s National Centre for Net Shape and Additive Manufacturing, offering integrated solutions to potential end users, supply chain companies or equipment providers using a three phase approach: discovery, demonstration and pilot ... Read More
Electric field distribution along an insulator surface is of prime importance for the long term performance of insulators. In this paper electric field and potential distribution along a standard 33 kV polymeric insulator were investigated under different pollution conditions. Effect of ... Read More
