Mist chemical vapor deposition (mist-CVD) has recently attracted interest as a facile, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for depositing thin films of various materials. In this method, mist droplets containing the reactant solution are injected into the reactor and ... Read More
The current and energy transfer to cathodes of vacuum arcs usually occurs in bright, narrow regions, known as cathode spots. Owing to extreme conditions in these spots, the cathode surface is eroded: electrode material is vaporized, and craters and molten metal jets are formed. The study ... 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
Thermal runaway (TR) is a critical safety hazard in lithium-ion battery systems, particularly in large energy storage installations and electric transportation applications. TR occurs when the cell temperature exceeds a certain threshold value, triggering a series of exothermic ... Read More
The modern microjet engine industry faces an ultimate constraint - a lack of physical platform for innovation, a need to completely develop new, existing technology to eventually test theory. Hence our proposal and development of a framework micro jet engine to be used as a platform for ... Read More
The push to electrify vehicles has highlighted a critical need for advanced thermal management systems in electric vehicle (EV) battery packs. Maintaining a stable temperature for these batteries is crucial for their efficiency, lifespan, and safety, as they are highly sensitive to ... Read More
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying is a cutting-edge, non-thermal drying technique that leverages high electric field to enhance water removal from moist materials via corona wind generation. EHD drying encompasses two fundamental phenomena: corona wind generation and the drying process ... Read More
This case study explains the work we undertook where we modelled an Induction heating system in COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software to correlate the simulation results with actual measurements. The simulated results were cross checked with several different measurement scenarios, ... Read More
Geothermal energy systems require precise sizing to ensure efficiency and sustainability, particularly for probe fields and groundwater doublets. We present two specialized applications developed using COMSOL Multiphysics’ Application Builder, leveraging the Heat Transfer and Groundwater ... Read More
Thermocouples are widely used in industry for process temperature measurement. Calibration drift is a well-known problem which adversely affects process control, particularly in harsh environments (e.g. high temperature). To overcome this, a mechanism for self-calibration of ... Read More
