The response of a millimeter wave with frequencies of 35 GHz and 95 GHz is known to be very sensitive to water content. This model utilizes a low-power 35 GHz Ka-band millimeter wave and its reflectivity to moisture for noninvasive cancer diagnosis. Since skin tumors contain more ... Read More
This model simulates a temperature profile in a number of cells and cooling fins in a liquid-cooled battery pack. The model solves in 3D and for an operational point during a load cycle. A full 1D electrochemical model for the lithium battery calculates the average heat source. Read More
This model analyses the noise generated by an electric motor during its operation at different speeds of rotation. The type of electric motor analyzed, a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) uses permanent magnets in the rotor and a variable frequency current traveling through the ... Read More
The magnets in an Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor are embedded in the rotor core, where they form narrow regions known as bridges. The thickness of the magnetic bridge is an important parameter to consider in design, both from the electromagnetic and the mechanical perspectives. As ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to model the temperature distribution in a battery pack during a 4C discharge. The pack is constructed by first coupling two cylindrical batteries in parallel. Six parallel-connected pairs are then connected in series to create the full pack. (This is also ... Read More
The Free Molecular Flow interface, available in the Molecular Flow Module, is an efficient tool for modeling extremely rarefied gases when the gas molecules move much faster than any geometric entities in the domain. For turbomolecular pumps, in which the blades move at speeds comparable ... Read More
Due to its high capacity, silicon (Si) is often added to graphite in the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries. Silicon–graphite blended electrodes may exhibit significant thermodynamic voltage hysteresis (“path dependence”) because the equilibrium potential of the lithium–silicon ... Read More
This tutorial models a DC glow discharge by solving fluid-type plasma equations fully coupled with the homogeneous and time-independent electron Boltzmann equation in the classical two-term approximation. The approximated Boltzmann equation is solved for each position of space and is ... Read More
This is a template base model containing the physics, geometry and mesh of a lithium-ion battery, defined in 1D. The model makes use of four lithiation parameters which are used to define the relative balancing of the negative and positive electrodes, as well as global cell state of ... Read More
This model solves the Boltzmann equation in the two-term approximation for a background of molecular and atomic hydrogen. Electron mobility and source terms are computed by suitable integration of the electron energy distribution function over electron impact cross sections. Read More
