Numerical study of effective thermal conductivity of periodic complex structures to be used in HIDiC
In this numerical investigation, the effective thermal conductivities (ETC) of periodic complex structures are evaluated. These structures are to be used as packing in Heat-Integrated Distillation Columns (HIDiC). Only high-porosity (>85%) complex structures are considered for ... Read More
Evaluating Goethite-Laterite Fixed-bed Adsorbent of Hexavalent Chromium [Cr (VI)] in Mine Wastewater
The presence of hexavalent chromium in dangerous concentrations in mine wastewater poses a hazard to the environment and emphasizes the development of technology in wastewater treatment is important. This study focused on the simulation of a fixed-bed adsorption column of soil and water ... Read More
Thermal and Heat Transfer Modelling of Lithium ion Battery Module during Discharge Cycle
Climate change and concerns over the reliable supplies of hydrocarbons are aiding in the focus on Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). The Lithium-ion battery as a better solution for energy storage in automobile applications is briefly introduced. Adverse effects ... Read More
Numerical simulation to improve the H2O-barrier property of films by integration of water absorbers
Flexible electronic devices are very sensitive against the ingress of oxygen and water vapor from the atmosphere and therefore must be protected by encapsulation with high barrier films. Typically these films contain at least two or three inorganic barrier layers separated by polymeric ... Read More
Power tool battery packs: shortening intervals of operation & charging by improved cooling strategy
In the fast growing but also highly competitive market of battery-powered power tools short charging times are essential to achieve customer acceptance and to create unique selling propositions. To prevent loss of performance and fast charging capability due to cell aging, the knowledge ... Read More
Finite element modelling of three-phase non-isothermal flow in heavy oil reservoirs- case study SAGD
Thermal enhanced oil recovery methods form the majority of the enhanced oil recovery projects worldwide. Among the thermal methods, steam injection is the most effective and most applied process in petroleum industry. The main mechanism of the steam injection method is the reduction of ... Read More
Extension of an electrochemical model to metal polishing
Additive manufacturing allows to design and to realize parts with complex geometries, which are difficult, even impossible, to obtain by conventional means. Nevertheless, the final surface finish obtained at the end of the 3D printing process do not fit with technological specifications ... Read More
Experimental and numerical simulation of pits on a corroded 316L grade stainless steel
Corrosion is an ongoing issue in metallurgic field. Stainless-steel products are likely to corrode in certain environmental conditions, especially if they are exposed to marine environment where localized corrosion can occur. The aim of this work is to study the behavior of 316L grade ... Read More
Flow of air in a plate DMA: how COMSOL Multiphysics® revealed a geometry-induced effect
A plate Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) is composed of two parallel plates between which aerosol-laden air flows. A specific device charges the aerosol particles electrically before they enter the DMA. Applying a voltage difference between the plates allows to deflect the particles ... Read More
Simulation/Validation of Pollutant Transport in Rivers Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Our atmosphere, land, and water are being continuously besieged by pollutants caused by such events as heavy metals leaching from mine tailing ponds, chemical spills from railroad and truck tanker accidents, and petroleum pipeline failures, to name just a few. These environmental ... Read More
