Analysis of Temperature Distribution in a Magnetite Catalyst Bed under Microwave Irradiation using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Dai MOCHIZUKI et al.[1]

Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan[1]

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with a magnetite catalyst has been performed with a fixed bed flow type reactor under microwave irradiation. Microwave heating showed a temperature gradient in the catalyst bed. We analyzed an electromagnetic field and heat transfer in the microwave cavity ... Read More

Chemical Reaction under Highly Precise Microwave Irradiation

Satoshi Fujii et al.[1]

[1]Chiba University, Chiba, Chiba, Japan

Chemical reactions conducted under microwave irradiation have high reaction rates and high selectivity, but these reaction rates are not always reproducible. To achieve reproducibility, a solid-state microwave source with an ultra precise oscillator, high power amplifier module (HPA), ... Read More

Calculation in Coupling Coefficient of 1.3μm Quantum Dots Distributed Feed Back Laser with Half Etched Mesa Structure

Keishiro GOSHIMA et al.[1]

[1]Aichi Institute of Technology, Toyota, Aichi, Japan

Quantum Dots (QDs) laser is expected to have a low threshold current density and high thermal stability. We propose the QDs laser with the half-etched mesa distributed feedback (HEM DFB) structure. We accurately calculated the coupling coefficient in a HEM waveguide using the finite ... Read More

Design of Guide for Avoiding Buckling Fracture of Micro Needle Inspired by Labium of Mosquito

Tomokazu TAKASAKI[1]

[1]Kansai University, Suita, Osaka, Japan

Making a diameter of needle small is effective for reducing the pain of patients. However, thinning a needle leads to easy buckling in the puncturing process, because the aspect ratio of needle becomes high. We propose a method for avoiding buckling of thin needle by setting a guide ... Read More

Design of Capacitive Vibratory Energy Harvester Calculating Change in Capacitance in Fringe Electric Field and Structural Analysis of Spring

Tomokazu TAKASAKI[1]

[1]Kansai University, Suita, Osaka, Japan

The sensing without batteries can be realized by harvesting the unused energy in environment. The capacitive harvester can generate, since the capacitance between electrodes is changed by vibration. There are two methods of producing change in capacitance: 1) change in overlapped area ... Read More

Analysis of Optical Manipulation of a Metallic Nanowire using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Ryota OZAWA et al.[1]

[1]Yokohama National University, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan

We have developed optically driven micropumps by manipulating microstructures using optical tweezers. In this study, we proposed and developed a novel manipulation method of a single metallic nanowire. In this method, dynamic optical vortex is used not only for manipulating a metallic ... Read More

Finite-Element Analysis of High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

Masanori HASHIGUCHI et al.[1]

[1]Keisoku Engineering System Co., Ltd., Chiyoda City, Tokyo, Japan

Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical solution of electromagnetic field of microstrip open stub is obtained in frequency domain of 0.1GHz - 60GHz by using the COMSOL RF Module and the computed S11 is compared to experiment. It was found that the S11 predicted here is in good agreement ... Read More

Analysis of Dielectrophoretic Force by Using COMSOL

Taewoo Lee[1]
[1]Department of Biomedical Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea

Dielectrophoresis is a phenomenon in which a force is exerted on a dielectric particle when it is subjected to a non-uniform electric field. In this research, we analyze dielectrophoretic (DEP) force using a geometry containing two electrodes, one with SiO2 and one without, with a gap ... Read More

Optical Modeling of Organic Solar Cells Using the COMSOL

Jungho Kim[1]
[1]Department of Information Display, Kyung Hee University, Seoul, South Korea

A solar cell offers a potential solution to energy shortage problems by converting sunlight into electrical power. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are low-cost and versatile, but also tend to be low-efficiency and short-lasted. Three macroscopic parameters determine their power-conversion ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics for the Designs and Applications on Biomicrofluidic Chips

I-Fang Cheng[1]
[1]National Nano Device Laboratories (NDL), National Applied Research Laboratories, Taipei, Taiwan

Some types of rare pathogens can be detected and identified in human blood through a low-cost and label-free method. The On-Chip SESR identification process has a fast detection time (about 5 minutes) and a low detection limit. Discrimination of a species is done by sorting red blood ... Read More
