Modeling the Indoor Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Botanical Biofiltration
Historically, indoor air quality (IAQ) has received less attention than outdoors, although people spend >90% of their time in the indoor environment. A major group of indoor air pollutants is volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are detrimental to human health even at low ... Read More
Ionic Neuromodulation and Neurosensing Platform for In Vitro Studies
Overview We successfully simulated a template iontronic system for closed-loop neuromodulation and neurosensing. The model’s goal is to support the careful design of novel platforms for in-vitro micro-electrode-array sensors coupled to conductive polymer-based (CP) ionic actuators used ... Read More
Towards Data Driven Design of Flow Blurring Atomizer
Liquid atomization relies on a variety of forces that disturb the surface of the liquid. In the case of flow-blurring (FB) atomization, turbulent structures are induced within the liquid channel to achieve this effect. It is known that the transition from the conventional flow-focusing ... Read More
An Analysis of the Synchronous Transport Phenomena Involved in Pasta Drying Process
This work is focused on the development of a physical-mathematical model capable of predicting the temperature and water content fields within a pasta sample which is exposed to a stream of drying air flowing under turbulent conditions. Therefore, the equations concerning the transfer of ... Read More
Simulation of Through Air Drying in Tissue Paper in a Papermaking Process
Water removal during paper and board manufacturing is an intensive energy process. The dewatering process generally consists of four stages wherein the last stage is comprised by thermal drying in where remaining water in fibres are evaporated on steam-heated cylinders. The thermal ... Read More
3-Dimensional Analysis of Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in a Thermochemical Heat Storage System
1 Problem Description Most studies for investigating heat and mass transfer phenomena in sorption storage systems use 1D or 2D numerical models. These are inadequate for analyzing processes in more complex geometries used in current prototypes. We present here a 3D model for the ... Read More
Numerical Modeling of Bentonite Erosion due to Sedimentation in Sloping Fractures
The study of bentonite erosion mechanisms in fractures is a problem of maximum interest to understand the long-term performance of the engineered barrier in deep geological repositories of spent nuclear fuel. In this context, erosion due to shear by seeping water, sedimentation due to ... Read More
Modeling of the Ladle Furnace Preheating with a Graphite Heating Rod
This work, which is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, presents the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for simulating ladle furnace preheating. The SisAl Pilot project aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon ... Read More
Release of the Model Substance Through the Polymer Membrane into the Biological Environment
Currently, there is a great interest in the study of gels, especially their transport or release properties. Hydrogels have countless definitions, but generally speaking, they are hydrophilic systems with a three-dimensional structure that tend to swell and hold large amounts of water ... Read More
Modeling Strategy of a Large Field of Shallow Borehole Heat Exchangers
Transforming the energy sector worldwide towards renewable, climate-neutral energy sources requires innovative ideas and excellent engineering solutions. In particular, shallow geothermal energy utilization is currently showing a remarkable development. In highly urbanized regions, large ... Read More
