Fluid flow has the potential to provide significant mechanical energy input for electromagnetic energy harvesters. The effect of a bluff body, such as cylinder played a significant role in the creation of a Karman vortex profile in the fluid flow. We study the effect of the number and ... Read More
Battery grids are critical system used in automobile, renewable energy, medical devices and mobile phones. Research efforts are directed to increase energy density, longevity and reduce the cost. This paper is related to computational optimisation of lead acid battery for efficiency and ... Read More
It is well-known that metal nanoparticles (NPs) excited at the plasmon frequency not only exhibit peculiar optical properties (e.g., a peak in the extinction spectrum, an enhanced electromagnetic near-filed) but also heat up [1]. This phenomenon is highly investigated for medical ... Read More
What is Hyperloop? Hyperloop is a futuristic train transportation concept which functions on the principle of magnetic levitation, where arrays of magnets, known as Halbach arrays are used to generate lift and thrust for the pod. How COMSOL Multiphysics® Was Utilised? COMSOL ... Read More
Introduction: Terahertz waves (THz), also known as T-rays, range from 0.3 THz to 10 THz and hence positioned between Microwaves and Infrared radiations on the Electromagnetic spectrum. T-rays exhibit several distinctive properties which make these suitable for applications such as ... Read More
In this poster, a numerical model of spot pulsed current TIG welding for partially and fully penetrated weld pools is presented. Heat transfer and fluid flow in the weld pool driven by the combination of electromagnetic force, buoyancy force, surface tension gradient and latent heat are ... Read More
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
The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ... Read More
Plasma gasification of biomass is emerging as an efficient way to reduce the carbon foot print of waste management while generating renewable energy. In general, gasification is a process where electromagnetic wave energy is used to heat biomass sufficiently to convert the bio-mass to ... Read More
Microwave heating has many advantages over the traditional heating method, such as needing shorter time, saving more energy, and being easier to control. But there still are some problems.(1) Themal runaway still exists because the reflection and absorption of microwave by the reactants ... Read More
