Stability of food webs under environmental changes like e.g. climate change depends on the effect of a time-dependent parameter like temperature on population level and community level. As predator-prey relationships depend on individual size, all populations involved must be size ... Read More
The objective of this simulation model is to enhance the thermal behavior in a MEMS Gas-Chromatographer (GC) pre-concentrator for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) carried by Helium gas. The simulation plays a critical role in estimating voltages, thermal time constants, and spatial ... Read More
The low-temperature electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to ethylene offers significant potential for reducing the chemical industry’s reliance on fossil fuels. Despite recent advancements, the key performance indicators—activity, selectivity, and durability—are insufficient for industrial ... Read More
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a widely applied technology for the shelf-life extension of fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. This technique relies on modifying the gas composition inside de package by the respiratory activity of the product and the gas exchange through ... Read More
Figure 1 shows a simplified scheme of a typical industrial steam methane reforming (SMR) reactor, which is a top-fired, packed-bed multi-tubular chemical reactor, consisting of a series of catalytic tubes arranged within a furnace. The tubes contain two adjacent catalytic sections filled ... Read More
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a technique commonly used to investigate the properties of the electrode surface and the bulk electrolyte in an electrochemical cell [1]. An AC excitation signal is applied with a frequency range, typically from 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz, and the ... Read More
The throwing power is an important criterion for the industrial use of an electrolyte in electroplating applications. Using the Electrodeposition Module and COMSOL Multiphyiscs® it is possible to simulate the thickness distribution for various electroplating geometries. For a realistic ... Read More
Power-to-gas is an important area of research for reducing greenhouse gases and seasonal energy storage. Methane, with a Lower Heating Value of 50 MJ/kg, is already a commonly used gas, and its synthesis using green hydrogen production (electrolysis of renewable energy) is a remarkable ... Read More
The "Power to Gas" technology is a promising alternative for storing renewable electrical energy through energy carriers. This technology involves using surplus energy from renewable sources to obtain green hydrogen through water electrolysis. Since hydrogen storage and transportation ... Read More
Activated carbon filtration has proven to be a reliable method to clean indoor air. In such a system, air, contaminated with VOCs, is led through the filter where the contaminants are adsorbed onto the filter. However, for the long term stability of the air purification system, it is ... Read More
