Electrodialysis (ED) is a unit operation for the separation of electrolytes with numerous applications in the chemical, food and biotechnological fields. Its modeling requires estimating several parameters and performing many batch desalination experiments (Fidaleo and Moresi, 2005). ... Read More
Air Ionization provides an excellent opportunity to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) for commercial buildings. Our ultimate goal is to develop guidelines based on a combined experimental and analytical approach for implementing air ionization (AirI) systems into commercial buildings, ... Read More
Problem Description Sorption heat storage systems are attracting growing interest due to their high energy density and loss-free heat storage capability, making them a promising solution for storing surplus solar energy in summer for use in winter in residential buildings. However, these ... Read More
Disciplines such as neutron polarimetry and medical imaging depend on highly uniform magnetic fields to preserve target polarization, and have turned to "magic boxes" to reliably generate these fields. Searches for the permanent Electric Dipole Moment of the neutron (nEDM) are sensitive ... Read More
The material wood is frequently used in construction industry for several elements such as window frames. However, as a hygrothermal material, wood is sensitive to moisture induced damage. In this context, the moisture uptake of wood based windows logged with an integrated relative ... Read More
Hunting Lodge St. Hubertus is one of the most prominent Dutch buildings from the early twentieth century. An extensive study of wind and wind-driven rain (WDR) was conducted to provide insight into the moisture load of the building facade, using measurements and CFD simulations. COMSOL ... Read More
Verification of the codes applied for assessment of the long-term repository safety is typically one of the quality assurance requirements demanded by regulatory bodies, in the disposal of radioactive waste. In this paper, an internationally organized benchmark exercise is presented, in ... Read More
Mass transport modelling through porous media is typically characterized by complex physics and geometry. In the particular case of radionuclide transport, modelling for radioactive waste repositories, an additional level of complexity, and thus uncertainty, originates from the long time ... Read More
A model built with COMSOL Multiphysics® to exploit meteorological forecasts and instant outdoor meteorological data (temperature, solar radiation, moisture, wind speed and direcition, etc.) together with indoor ambient data (air temperature, radiant temperature of enclosures, etc), ... Read More
Laser-induced photovoltage in ferromagnetic thin films is often explained by magneto-thermoelectric effects such as the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). ANE appears when thermal gradients interact with magnetization. While power loss in flat films can be estimated analytically, numerical ... Read More
