Inductive Heating of a Copper CylinderInductive Heating of a Copper Cylinder

The induced currents in a copper cylinder produce heat that in turn change the electrical conductivity. This means that the field propagation has to be solved simultaneously with the heat transfer through the cylinder and surrounding...

Particle Tracing in a Quadrupole Mass SpectrometerParticle Tracing in a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

The principle component of a quadrupole mass spectrometer is the mass filter which is used to filter ions with different charge to mass ratios. The quadrupole mass filter has been well studied over the years, Ref. 1 and the physics and...

Simulating the Moving Parts of a GeneratorSimulating the Moving Parts of a Generator

In this model, a rotor with permanent magnets and a nonlinear magnetic material rotates within a stator of the same magnetic material. The generated voltage in windings around the stator is calculated as a function of time. COMSOL...

Inductance of a Power InductorInductance of a Power Inductor

Power inductors are a central part of many low-frequency power applications. They are, for example, used in the switched power supply for the motherboard and all other components in a computer. Computer simulations are necessary in the...

A Tunable MEMS CapacitorA Tunable MEMS Capacitor

In an electrostatically tunable parallel plate capacitor, the distance between the two plates can be modified by a spring, as the applied voltage changes. For a given voltage difference between the plates, the distance of the two...

Induced Eddy Currents in a Metal PlateInduced Eddy Currents in a Metal Plate

Induced eddy currents and associated thermal loads is of interest in many high power AC applications. This example is of general nature and illustrates some of the involved physics as well as suitable modeling techniques in the AC/DC...

Induction Currents from Circular CoilsInduction Currents from Circular Coils

A time-varying current induces a time-varying magnetic field. The magnetic field induces currents in neighboring conductors. The induced currents are called eddy currents. In this model, the phenomenon is illustrated by a time-harmonic...

Magnetic LensMagnetic Lens

A scanning electron microscope samples images by scanning a target with a high-energy beam of electrons. The subsequent electron interactions produce signals such as secondary and back-scattered electrons that contain information about...

Magnetic Prospecting of Iron Ore DepositsMagnetic Prospecting of Iron Ore Deposits

Estimating center-of-mass coordinates and the spatial extent of iron-rich layers helps decrease the cost of exploration. Magnetic prospecting is applicable for doing this for certain types of iron ore deposits. Passive magnetic...

RF-Heated Hot Wall Furnace for Semiconductor ProcessingRF-Heated Hot Wall Furnace for Semiconductor Processing

Furnace reactors are used in the fabrication of semiconductors to grow layers on wafers. These can also be used for epitaxial growth, which is a key technology for fabrication of electrical devices. A silicon carbide growth takes place...
