Topology Optimization of an Actively Cooled Electronics Section for Downhole Tools

S. Soprani [1], J. H. K. Haertel [1], K. Engelbrecht [1], B. S. Lazarov [2], O. Sigmund [2]
[1] Technical University of Denmark - Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Roskilde, Denmark
[2] Technical University of Denmark - Department of Mechanical Engineering, Lyngby, Denmark

INTRODUCTION: Active cooling systems represent a possible solution to the electronics overheating that occurs in downhole tools operating on wireline, a cabling technology used to remotely control the downhole devices during oil and gas well interventions, in high temperature wells (150 ...

Optimum Insulation Thickness Distribution for Heat Loss Uniformity from Heated Corrugated Pipes

R. Bourisli [1],
[1] Kuwait University, Kuwait

Energy loss from fluids flowing across long distances presents a problem in many applications. In the oil and gas industry, for example, crude oil can change in viscosity when modest changes in temperature are realized. This can lead to added pumping power requirement and thus more heat ...

Topology Optimization of Lithium-Ion Battery Electrode Microstructure Morphology for Reduction of Damage Accumulation and Longevity of Battery Life

P. Clarke[1], R. Abedi[1]
[1]University of Tennessee Space Institute, Tullahoma, TN, USA

The ubiquitous commercial use of Lithium-Ion batteries (LIBs) has increased interest in their implementation into efficient energy storage systems for clean and renewable power sources and the electrical transportation industry. Unfortunately, LIBs are not yet technological mature to ... Read More

Numerical Study of the Effect of Fins on the Natural Convection Driven Melting of Phase Change Material

C. Liu, and D. Groulx
Mechanical Engineering
Dalhousie University
Halifax, NS
Canada

Natural convection has to be accounted and simulated for in order to properly describe the physics encounter in the phase change process. A simplified two-dimensional model was created in COMSOL 4.1. Natural convection was accounted for by adding a volume force and using the Boussinesq ... Read More

Stefan's Problem: Validation of a One-Dimensional Solid-Liquid Phase Change Heat Transfer Process

D. Groulx, and W. Ogoh
Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada

A 1D phase change problem, known as Stefan’s problem, for which analytical solutions are available, is solved as a 2D problem using COMSOL Multiphysics. The PCM medium is semi-infinite, initially solid at its melting temperature Tm, and at t = 0, the wall temperature is raised to Tw > ... Read More

Inclusive Routine of the Soil Surface Energy Balance in COMSOL Multiphysics®

M. Bortoloni[1], M. Bottarelli[2], Y. Su[3]
[1]Department of Engineering, University of Ferrara, Este, Italy
[2]Department of Architecture, University of Ferrara, Este, Italy
[3]Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK

In ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHPs) the coupling between heat pumps and ground occurs by means of ground heat exchangers, that can be installed vertically inside boreholes (BHEs) or horizontally (HGHEs). In the horizontal installation, the heat exchangers are placed in shallow trenches ... Read More

Modelling of Heat and Mass Transfer in Food Products

[1]M.B. Andreasen

[1]Danish Technological Institute, Aarhus C, Denmark

The use of the finite element method for understanding and analyzing the freezing and drying processes of food products is in focus in this paper. The objective of this study is to develop a model that can predict temperature distribution and weight loss of food products during the ... Read More

Software Management Plan for Grade D Acquired Software COMSOL

This document has been produced by Washington River Protection Solutions, LLC on behalf of the Department of Energy (DOE) for the use of COMSOL when simulating applications related to DOE's waste management. COMSOL has been classified as a grade D acquired software program and this ... Read More

3D Simulation of an Acceleration Sensor with Self-sufficient Energy Supply

L. Weber [1], L. Fromme [1], D. Zielke [2],
[1] University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics, Bielefeld, Germany
[2] University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Institute BIFAM, Bielefeld, Germany

Piezo buzzers, made of piezoelectric material glued on a brass plate, are usually used as signaler, but the buzzer can also be used to convert mechanical into electrical energy. If acceleration influences the buzzer, the structure is bent by its mass and a voltage can be measured between ... Read More

Partial Discharge Risk Under Charge Generation and Transport Effects

M. E. Banda [1], D. Malec [1], J-P. Cambronne [1],
[1] LAPLACE, Université de Toulouse, CNRS, INPT, UPS, France

The good electrical, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of solid organic dielectrics, such as PTFE, predestine them as good candidates for the electrical insulation of transport devices and systems. In the particular case of power converters involved in the future hybrid and ... Read More
