Simulation of a Plastic Bottles Solar Collector

V. Bonetti[1]
[1]Ingegneria Senza Frontiere, DESE, Università di Pisa, Pisa, Italy

In the Andean region of Southern Peru, poverty and climate are extreme: at 4000mt asl, insolation is among the highest in the world but the temperature varies more than 30 degrees between day and night. At the community of Livitaca (Cuzco), the association “Ingegneria Senza Frontiere” is ... Read More

Stress and Fatigue Analysis of Subsea Umbilical and Cable Systems

M.S. Yeoman[1], V. Sivasailam[1], T. Poole[3], S. Ingham[3]
[1]Continuum Blue, Tredomen, Ystrad Mynach, United Kingdom
[3]JDR Cable Systems, Littleport, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

With the ever changing energy requirements & demand for better communication links across the planet, subsea umbilical & cable requirements are becoming more stringent. Where longer service life at a lower cost is now expected from manufacturers. In addition to this, with the ... Read More

Topology Optimization of Thermal Heat Sinks

J. H. K. Haertel [1], K. Engelbrecht [1], B. S. Lazarov [2], O. Sigmund [2],
[1] Technical University of Denmark, Roskilde, Denmark
[2] Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lynby, Denmark

Introduction The topology optimization method is becoming increasingly popular as a design tool for multiphysics systems [1,2]. Topology optimization of fluid-thermal systems has been presented for example in [3] for forced convective heat transfer and in [4] for natural convection ... Read More

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 ...

Inverse Problem and a New Device to Estimate Thermal Conductivity of Composite Phase Change Material

M. Karkri [1], A. Nachaoui [2]
[1] Université Paris-Est, CERTES, Créteil Cedex, France
[2] Département de Mathématiques 2, Nantes Cedex, France

A new experimental device has been developed in order to characterize the phase change material (PCM) thermal properties (thermal conductivity k, sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage, cp and Lf) in the solid phase, during the solid-liquid transition and in the liquid phase. It ... Read More

RF Hot-Zone Location within Rectangular Confined Spaces

R. Rodriguez[1]
[1]University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago

RF propagation modelling in (30 – 1000 MHz) SAR region for predicting the location and intensities of constructive interference patterns within rectangular confined spaces using waveguide theory and ray tracing techniques. Read More

Efficient, Selective Piezoeletric Wave Transduction Using Interdigitated Electrodes

H. T. D. Grigg[1], T. H. Hanley[1], B. J. Gallacher[1]
[1]Newcastle University, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, UK

This work enunciates the principles of SAW design from a physical perspective, examining the standard engineering modelling assumptions in some detail. An integral form analytical expression based on 2D elastic isotropic theory is validated against a COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation, ... Read More

Simulation of the Temperature Profile During Welding with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software Using Rosenthal's Approach

A. Lecoanet[1], D. G. Ivey[1], H. Henein[1]
[1]Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada

A 3D finite element analysis is carried out, using COMSOL® software, to reproduce the thermal profile obtained with Rosenthal’s equation. The implemented heat transfer equation has been modified as a means to approximate Rosenthal’s solution. An analysis of the differences between the ... Read More

Modeling the Behavior of Phased Arrays in Brain Tissue: Application to Deep Brain Stimulation

V. Valente[1], A. Demosthenous[1], and R. Bayford[2]

[1]Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, University College London, London, United Kingdom
[2]Department of Natural Sciences, Middlesex University, London, United Kingdom

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic tool used for a number of neurological disorders including chronic pain, incontinence and movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. DBS consists of the low-frequency stimulation of an area of the brain, known as basal ganglia. ... Read More

FEM Analysis of Laser-Induced Heating of Gold Nanoparticles

D. Gonzalez[1], J. Gardner[1], and O. Tigli[2]
[1]Biomedical Engineering, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL,
[2]Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL

Nanoparticles are being extensively researched as a noninvasive method for selectively targeting and killing cancer cells. In this study, we model the thermal activation of gold nanospheres and nanorods in a fluidic environment to determine the thermal response of the surrounding medium. Read More
