The use of microwaves for heating purposes of dielectric materials is encountered in many industrial applications (food processing, chemistry, material engineering and medical applications). In most of these thermal applications, the prediction of the temperature evolution within the ... Read More
The present work is aimed at evaluating the capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® to treat heat transfer in Molten Salt Reactors (MSR). The analyzed situation is represented by the molten salt in turbulent regime flowing through a cylindrical channel surrounded by graphite, with both ... Read More
This paper presents the 3D model of pressure distribution in the process of magneto-rheological flow finishing. The effect of working gap on pressure distribution is studied using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Also, the effect of different viscosity of fluids on development of pressure ... Read More
This article considers a closed water circuit with square cross section filled with an electrolyte fluid. The conductor fluid was moved using an electromagnetic pump, in which a permanent magnet generates a magnetic field and electrodes generate the electric field in the flow. Thus, the ... Read More
Introduction: The use of microwave energy for thermal cracking (from thermal stress and water pore pressure) of lignite-coal briquettes increases the lignite friability [1] and is beneficial for later chemical treatment inside a gasifier (for methanol production for example). An ... Read More
This paper shows a model to estimate the scaling parameters for reverse osmosis membrane processes. The model takes into account the concentration polarization of ionic species in the membrane channel of spiral-wound modules and the effect of the spacers on the flow. The scaling ... Read More
Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are a reliable technology to control emissions of airborne particles in a series of applications such as coal-fired power plants, cement plants or even for domestic fireplaces. Numerical calculations allow further development of electrostatic ... Read More
A fuel cell is an efficient and clean alternative power source of energy. Alkaline anion exchange membrane (AAEM) fuel cells are one in which conduction of oH- (hydroxyl ion) take place. The advantages of using alkaline fuel cells over proton exchange membrane fuel cells is that ... Read More
For the numerical solving of the equations, Comsol has been applied. Simulations have been modeled in 2D Cartesian, in cylindrical coordinate system and in a “mantle-like” cylindrical-shell. Mantle dynamics is controlled by the Rayleigh number (Ra), which is the ratio of the buoyancy ... Read More
With offshore oil and gas exploration and production moving into ever deeper waters, the suspended length of marine risers (transporting hydrocarbons from the seabed to the surface) can easily exceed 3000 meters. One of the major design requirements for risers in (ultra) deep water is to ... Read More
