This abstract describes a COMSOL® App that has been created to perform thermal simulations of an electronics assembly. The assembly comprises fourteen components including a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), a thermoelectric cooling (TEC) Peltier ... Read More
Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can significantly affect the quality of the metal powder used in power bed fusion additive manufacturing, leading to variations in the integrity of finished components. It is therefore important to monitor and minimize the exposure ... Read More
Additive manufacturing processes are increasingly used for designing metallic parts with complex geometries. The current needs are focused on the manufacturing of large-scale parts, typically of meter range. However, for such dimensions, the traditional trial-and-error methodology used ... Read More
Scraped-surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) handle products that are viscous, that contain particles, and that tend to deposit on the heat transfer surface. The rotating scraper blades continuously remove any deposition on the heating or cooling surface, thereby maintaining the efficiency of ... Read More
Irradiance is fundamental in the energy production of photovoltaic (PV) modules and models can be developed using just irradiance data. However, module temperature has also significant impact on the power output. In locations with high ambient temperatures PV module performance can be ... Read More
New emerging trends in the MEMS market are linked to the availability of small, reliable and miniature sensors for harsh environment applications to increase penetration in all application fields, considering very wide operating condition ranges. These trends are pushed forward by the ... Read More
Numerous volcanic systems across the world are actively undergoing unrest, resulting in non-eruptive episodes of inflation and deflation. Whilst these episodes of ground deformation are readily identifiable within geodetic time-series e.g. GPS, InSAR, the underlying processes ... Read More
Microwave heating has been used in industry because of its pollution free and rapid heating technique [1]. It consists of an electromagnetic wave that passes through a media with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz [2] to generate heat in the system. The purpose of the current work ... Read More
Focused ultrasounds are used in many medical applications as a treatment: it is important to evaluate the induced effects of such a procedure to achieve a high accuracy while keeping the untargeted surrounding areas safe. In the present paper, COMSOL Multiphysics®, a simulation software ... Read More
In the field of laser applications, surface treatment is highly studied. Two process categories are commonly used. First processes use very short pulses (femto or pico seconds) known to avoid thermal effects and to have high spatial resolutions. Second processes have higher interaction ... Read More
