Simulation of Thin Water Layers on Wafer Surfaces During Bond Chamber Evacuation

Max Huber1, Andreas Zienert1, Jörg Schuster1
1Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS, Technologie-Campus 3, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany

Thin liquid layers play a crucial role in many applications. In the case of direct wafer bonding, the amount of water in the bonding interface determines the bonding strength and is therefore of high interest. Simulations can help to study the influence of different technological and ... Read More

Simulation of Through Air Drying in Tissue Paper in a Papermaking Process

K. Rezk1, B. Sjöstrand1
1Institution of engineering and chemical sciences, Karlstad, Sweden

Water removal during paper and board manufacturing is an intensive energy process. The dewatering process generally consists of four stages wherein the last stage is comprised by thermal drying in where remaining water in fibres are evaporated on steam-heated cylinders. The thermal ... Read More

Simulations of Blood Flow in the Left Atrial Appendage: Investigating Influence of Anatomical Shapes

Ondrej Fiser1, David Vrba1, Tomas Pokorny1, Tomas Drizdal1, Matous Brunat1, Marek Novak1, Jan Redr1, Jan Vrba1
1Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague

In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the influence of anatomical shapes on the speed of blood flow in the left atrial appendage (LAA) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Module in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The LAA itself can serve as a potential origin of blood clots, ... Read More

Thermal Stratification Analysis of a Room-Integrated Large Hot Water Storage

F. Solka1, T. Plessing1
1Institut für Wasserstoff- und Energietechnik

While common hot water storage geometries are slim and high, this work deals with the conversion of a preexisting cellar room into a hot water storage with an area of 550 m² and a height of only 2.9 m. Next to the poor area-to-height ratio, the room contains columns and bearers for ... Read More
