Electrokinetic (EK) techniques have been broadly implemented in a variety of fields, including microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip, and are seeing increased interest to miniaturize and optimize fluid pumping and mixing systems. While EK techniques such as electro-osmosis and ... Read More
In electrochemical machining process, it is very important to control electrolyte flow field to remove contamination such as slug, or gas to be generated by the machining process as well as heat control for electrolyte, machining tool and work piece. To reduce the overcut of workpiece, ... Read More
Chemical engineering students and practitioners need an understanding of fluid flow and heat transfer inside heat exchangers. Because the flow within plate heat exchangers is difficult to visualize, we developed COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations of plate heat exchangers for students to ... Read More
Relative permeability maps for steady-state two-phase flow in porous media, delivered by implementing the DeProF model [1] algorithm, were integrated within COMSOL Multiphysics® software [2] to resolve field-scale flows in porous media. The mechanistic model DeProF [1], predicts the ... Read More
Small-scale plasma jets in atmospheric air can produce regions of highly reactive chemistry coincident with temperatures approaching room temperature allowing his type of cold plasma jet to be used for decontamination of surfaces and sterilization of living tissue. In the device under ... Read More
A very simplified system for high voltage test is studied, considering reason for voltage holding failures which are not covered by conventional and local design criteria. A first understanding of the problem is obtained by solving the electrostatic potential in a 2D axis symmetric ... Read More
This talk is for intermediate-level users of COMSOL who, like the present author, are relative newcomers to numerical simulation but have a strong grounding in Hydrodynamics or related areas of Mathematical Physics. Most turn-key Computational Fluid Dynamics packages, including COMSOL ... Read More
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is currently exploring the use of infrasound sensors to monitor the health of structures of interest. Infrasound is acoustic energy below 20 Hz and is capable of propagating many kilometers from the source with little ... Read More
Plasma torches are used in processing of materials as well as in the energy industry for producing plasma. In a non-transferred arc plasma torch, an electric arc can be initiated by applying a direct current (DC) between the cathode and anode, both placed inside the torch. Then, the ... Read More
Carbon fiber as filaments or as continuously reinforced composite finds application in the electronic packages, electric vehicles, and electrical machines, owing to its excellent electromagnetic (EMI) shielding and high conductivity. Carbon fiber being good conductor of electricity (in ... Read More
