In general, seamount magnetic modeling assumes uniform magnetization for the entire construct. The following geologic obervations are often not considered: 1. The internal structure composed of multiple volcanic layers, and 2. Remanent magnetization gained during the magnetic polarity ... Read More
In the decades since humans first went to space, there has been growing interest in utilizing microgravity to improve our understanding in many scientific fields (1). Applied fields have included evolutionary development, cell mechanics and protein crystallization (2-4). Microgravity ... Read More
This poster presents a numerical modeling approach for hygrothermal behavior of bio-based materials. The mathematical model describes the heat and moisture transfer through a wall of bio-based materials. The studied wall is subjected to both convective heat transfer and moisture flux ... Read More
The scientific method requires techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge [1]. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the ... Read More
Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® has standard facilities to export models to SimuLink®. Normally, the standard export works well if the solvers, available in SimuLink, can handle the problem. However, if a model in COMSOL Multiphysics® needs special solvers, for example airflow or other non-linear ... Read More
The fixed beds have the advantage of large heat transfer area, for they are used in some designs of innovative nuclear reactors as the reactor FBNR. Inside of study of fixed beds is important to define the following parameters: flow minimum and velocity profile of cooling fluid, ... Read More
Corrosion of metals in confined zones is a big industrial problem. The electrochemistry of such localized corrosion processes is complicated by the impact of the corrosion processes on the composition of the local solution. In the present problem, local interaction with the atmosphere ... Read More
A model of an office room was created in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate heat transfer and study the impact of siting a mass of phase change material (PCM) in a room to increase thermal comfort. This study determined that incorporating the selected PCM, butyl stearate, in ... Read More
The paper presents the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to the modelling of superconducting accelerator magnets. A 2D magneto-thermal model is developed, using an equivalent magnetization formulation to take into account the eddy-currents’ effects. Due to the model ... Read More
