Introduction The soluble lead flow battery (SLFB) is a form of redox flow battery (RFB), an electrochemical device where energy is stored in a liquid electrolyte. The electrolyte is pumped around a flow circuit from a reservoir to the cell where redox reactions occur and the energy is ... Read More

The app discussed in this paper is based on a COMSOL Multiphysics® 1D heat transfer model that analyses the heat flow through a double pane window, with a gas chamber between the two panes, as would normally be mounted in the wall of a building, a container or a refrigerated chamber. The ... Read More

Pipeline inspection tools present some limitations related to power supply which require recharging after each operation. Using batteries or tethered tools make the duration to inspect any pipeline very limited and time consuming. This paper aims at designing a spherical self-recharging ... Read More

在电池的性能比较过程中总存在温升、恒流比、容量保持率、倍率性等电性能比较，其中影响这些性能的重要参数就是电池的极化大小。然而现实使用中极化很难以量化，仅仅用直流或者交流内阻来表示还显得单一且不具有说服力，所以寻求一种能够量化的手段从而来衡量电池的极化具有重要意义。通过极化的占比分析还可以分析哪一种极化影响较大，从而为电池的设计优化提供可靠的方向指导。 鉴于上述描述，我们开发了一种充放电过程中极化仿真方法及模型。在COMSOL® 软件的一维模型中定义编辑正负极以及隔膜电解液处反应极化方程和积分，然后利用“电池与燃料电池模块 ... Read More
