Model Electrodes with Nonideal Connectivity in Corrosion Analyses
Learn the appropriate boundary conditions for performing a corrosion analysis in which an electrode is connected to an external short circuit.
Analyzing Reverse Electrodialysis Units with Multiphysics Modeling
Pass the salt…for a clean energy solution. Salinity gradient power relies on osmosis between fresh- and saltwater to generate power, and simulation can help analyze and optimize such systems.
Analyzing Utility Boiler Designs by Simulating Radiative Heat Transfer
To study a utility boiler furnace, you need to account for the effects of radiation, which is difficult to solve for analytically and study experimentally. That’s where simulation comes in.
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy: Experiment, Model, and App
Experience the phenomenon of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3 ways: experiment, model, and simulation application.
Fat-Washing Cocktails on an Industrial Scale
Bacon-flavored vodka? Pecan-infused bourbon? The fat-washing process extracts the flavors from fat and dissolves it into alcohol, and it can even be scaled up to an industrial level.
Modeling the Performance of an Evaporative Emission Control System
Researchers turned to COMSOL Multiphysics to model the adsorption and desorption in an evaporative emissions control system for enhanced automotive efficiency.
Study Contaminant Removal in Membrane Dialysis Devices with an App
We discuss treating renal failure with hemodialysis, analyzing contaminant concentration in a membrane dialysis device, and optimizing a membrane dialysis device with a numerical modeling app.
Modeling Electrochemical Processes in a Solid-State Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-ion batteries are found in everything from consumer electronics to aerospace technology. We discuss certain design challenges that have emerged over the years.
