Mathematical description of microwave drying requires the solution of two different physics: electromagnetics in the microwave oven cavity and food material and, transport process (mass, momentum and heat transport) in the food material. Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetics were ... Read More
Introduction: Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) has a critical role in the cell-killing mechanism of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, in this study, the distance-dependent reacted ¹O₂ is numerically calculated using finite-element method (FEM). Herein, we use a model [Ref. 1] that has been ... Read More
Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are quickly becoming an attractive technology due to their ability to meet increasing energy demands in a cleaner, more efficient way compared to existing methods. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device which converts the chemical energy of a ... Read More
A mathematical model is developed for the stripping of CO2 from rich solvent. The rich solvent (aqueous NaOH) is used in CO2 absorption from natural gas through gas-liquid hollow fiber membrane contactor. The polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane was fabricated via ... Read More
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) and Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) are commonly used for separation/purification of gas mixtures in industrial processes. The cycle time of industrial TSA processes usually ranges from several hours to days. The reason for this long cycle time is the ... Read More
There is a great need for an effective drug treatment of the posterior eye, as the major reason for visual disability in industrial countries is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). In USA alone, there are almost 2 million people affected by AMD [1]. A virtual pharmacokinetic 3D model ... Read More
This computational implementation presents a new strategy of coupling two 3D models to satisfy the requirements of the comprehensive model of a unitary Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell, including its internal geometries and constitutive materials, as well as distinct physical and ... Read More
The major steps in the beer making process are simple and with some skill, rather good brew can be produced using a common picnic cooler. First, grain (usually barley) is wetted and allowed to partially germinate before dried in a kiln (malting) Next, during mashing in a mash tun ... Read More
Chemically driven actuators capable of directional motion have attracted considerable attention for their autonomy, sustainability, and versatility[1]. However, conventional enzyme-based actuators often suffer from limitations such as high cost and insufficient control over orientation. ... Read More
新能源汽车电池热失控特征极大关系着电池的安全边界，本文通过建立单体NCM电池的一维产气反应动力学耦合三维传热几何仿真模型，对电池热失控期间的温度，膨胀力特征进行分析。在COMSOL Multiphysics中先依据电池尺寸建立电池三维几何模型，电池结构为长方体热源，不额外考虑电池极耳的发热功率，将电池视作导热系数各向同性的集总热模型，之后在几何模型的基础上建立一维副反应动力学模型，利用偏微分方程接口模块实现实现电池热失控副反应产热量的计算，最后利用固体传热模块完成电池温度与产热的耦合，并输出相对应的膨胀力数值。通过完成验证的热失控模型，针对热滥用情况中的SOC ... Read More
