In the past two decades, highly porous nanostructured materials have been investigated and used for a large variety of applications, such as catalysis, energy conversion/storage, optics, sensing and more. Nanoporous gold (npAu) is one of such materials which have shown great potential as ... Read More
Vehicles with battery as energy storage fascinate more and more people. Meanwhile, more questions are surfaced – How to ensure a safe operation of the battery package? How long could the cycle life of a battery package reach? Can a battery package be operated in any environmental ... Read More
A two-dimensional stationary model of a vanadium oxygen fuel cell is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics®. This energy storage device combines a vanadium flow battery anode and an oxygen fuel cell cathode. The oxygen reduction reaction generates additional water, leading to a degradation of ... Read More
The time-dependent operation of methanol, ammonia, and urea production units embedded in a steel mill technical environment is analyzed with dynamic simulation models. From different process concepts and gas availability scenarios a set of simulation cases is defined with blast furnace ... Read More
The presence of a moving fluid in a porous rock modifies its mechanical response. Poroelasticity explains how the fluid inside the pores bears a portion of the total load supported by the rock. The remaining part of the load is supported by the elastic skeleton, which contains a laminar ... Read More
Soft lossy viscoelastic polymers can dissipate significant amounts of energy in the form of heat when subjected to dynamic mechanical stimuli. As a result, structures comprised of such lossy materials may heat up considerably when excited by loads at a frequency that approaches one of ... Read More
A new experimental device has been developed in order to characterize the phase change material (PCM) thermal properties (thermal conductivity k, sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage, cp and Lf) in the solid phase, during the solid-liquid transition and in the liquid phase. It ... Read More
Anil Prabhakar joined the faculty at IIT-Madras in 2002, after 5 years of post-doctoral experience in the hard disk drive industry. His current research interests include photonics, spintronics, nonlinear dynamics and alternative and augmentative communication. As a member of the Optics ... Read More
This study aims to numerically investigate on a passive solar system for indoor heating called as \"Trombe wall\". The transient buoyancy driven flow characterizing that system and the thermal distribution are solved by numerically integrating the governing equations in COMSOL ... Read More
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
