Magnetic nanoparticles have diverse applications ranging from contamination control to medical diagnosis and treatment. Small airborne particulate matter (PM) is known to have adverse impacts to human health,, due to its high mobility when penetrating human respiratory systems [1,2,3]. ... Read More

Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) use graphite electrodes to strike an arc to melt scrap steel, recycling it for further use. These graphite electrodes oxidize and are consumed over time. To maintain operation new electrodes are attached to others via a joint of complex geometry and fed ... Read More

Nearly seven lakh Indians die of cancer, while over 10 lakh are newly diagnosed with some form of the disease every year. Surgical resection is not always feasible in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Microwave Coagulation Therapy (MCT) has been used as an alternative to resection ... Read More

In recent years the thermal behavior of electric machines is an attractive research topic. Due to the complexity of the problem, several approaches that exploit FEM analysis have been developed and presented in literature. In this research a 3D thermo-fluid dynamic simulation of an ... Read More

We show that COMSOL Multiphysics® software can efficiently simulate the diffusion equation (DE) in diffusive optical tomography systems. Using our implementation, we simulate a frequency domain diffusive optical tomography system two order of magnitude faster than the standard Monte ... Read More

The problem under investigation is electrical scale-up of a generic metallurgical process for primary metal production through resistive heating of slag by electric current, typically supplied by an AC three-phase system. Maxwell’s equations are analyzed revealing that the properties of ... Read More

A pulsed Eddy Current (EC) probe, using the transient response to a stepped voltage is being developed for in-reactor inspection of CANDU® fuel channels. Pulsed EC has the advantage of generating a spectrum of discrete frequencies, allowing the simultaneous collection of data from a ... Read More

A new microwave cavity for the regeneration of DPF regeneration was proposed and COMSOL Multiphysics® FEM model was used to investigate heating properties of the Silicon Carbide (SiC) based DPF. Electric field profile and thermal profile of the microwave cavity and DPF was established ... Read More

There is urgent need to monitor dental and oral diseases, such as tooth decay, gum diseases, and teeth grinding. Such monitoring can be achieved by embedding sensors in the mouth. This technique faces some difficulties. The first is how the power needed for the operation of the sensors ... Read More

In this work, we investigate the resonant properties of finite-sized membrane-mass-type elastic metamaterial thin plates. We find that the effective bending stiffness of such metamaterial thin plates can be controlled independently by the out-of-plane rotational resonances, so as to vary ... Read More
