An app built with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software allows both expert and beginner users to carry out parametric simulations thanks to flexible and user-friendly customized interfaces. Many people, with or without expertise in numerical analysis, can now access, exploit and share ... Read More
Microfluidic technologies can enable laboratory processes to be packaged in miniaturized and automated systems, allowing these processes to be performed with hand-held devices outside a laboratory environment. The practical usefulness of these “lab on a chip” systems has often been ... Read More
Printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is a key component in many energy and power systems, such as concentrated solar power plant, nuclear power plant, aircraft, etc. In this paper, the thermal and fluid performance of a lab-scale PCHE is analyzed using COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation ... Read More
Atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ) are devices that generate chemically reactive species and operate at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature for a wide range of applications. Plasmas jets produce charged particles (electrons and ions), neutral metastable species, radicals, ... Read More
Ice flows because at low stresses it deforms viscously; the viscosity depends upon the stress. The lubrication approximation (LA) states shear stress is proportional to the product of the ice depth and surface slope. At ice divides the slope and shear stress are zero meaning the ... Read More
Accurate bipolar-plate and flow-field layout is one crucial task for optimizing fuel cells. These cell components perform several functions, including charge transport or gas and water transport throughout the cell just to name a few. Overall, the design depends on the fuel cell ... Read More
Introduction Fluid flow patterns in research or process-scale equipment where a fluid is contained between concentric rotating cylinders in the absence of bulk axial flow has received notable attention in the field of fluid mechanics. Annular flows occur in many practical applications, ... Read More
A magnetic colloid, also known as a ferrofluid, is a colloidal suspension of single-domain magnetic particles with typical dimensions of about 10nm, dispersed in a liquid carrier. Since the 1960, when these materials were initially synthesized, their technological applications are ... Read More
Array-based technologies are important for many applications in drug discovery, microbiology and cell biology. A large-scale array of single cells allows high-throughput monitoring of behaviors of individual cells in parallel, avoiding the lack of cell specificity inherent to bulk ... Read More
This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the coupled thermo-hydrodynamics and neutronics of circulating nuclear fuel systems in a nuclear reactor that adopts a molten salt mixture. This flows up through channels in a graphite moderated core and plays the role of both heat generator ... Read More
