Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a non-contact direct-write technique that enables the deposition of small volumes of material into user-defined high-resolution patterns with a wide range of structural and functional materials. There are many variations of the LIFT process, each ... Read More

One of the most noticeable effects in loss of performance and capacity of thermal systems is produced by altitude. This causes that the density of a compressible fluid and the atmospheric pressure are considerably reduced, causing a decrease in electrical power and thermal systems. Given ... Read More

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) which convert heat into electrical energy due to Seebeck effect, have recently attracted a great attention as green and sustainable energy sources. One of the challenges in the field of thermoelectric devices is the design optimization in order to make ... Read More

With the extensive application of ground freezing method in coastal areas, the groundwater environment during ground freezing has been changed. Especially in seawater intrusion areas, groundwater salinity is high (even salinity equivalent to sea water (ca. 35g/L)). Engineering experience ... Read More

Dedicated work in modeling, simulation and design optimization of Lithium-ion Battery (LIBs) was done in the past decades, and still, the most widely used one for electrochemical processes is the Newman model. [1] The underlying parameters are treated deterministically, but the impact of ... Read More

This paper presents a measurement type 4000/5A current transformer which has 4 primary bars. The magnetic circuit of the prototype can be separable presenting easy installation inside the distribution panel. Time domain and frequency based simulations are obtained and the electric ... Read More

In this work, theoretical and numerical models solved by COMSOL Multiphysics® for the heat diffusion in homogenous solids, suitable to be used in the infrared photothermal radiometry technique, are presented. The theoretical calculations and the numerical simulations were obtained by ... Read More

Anticipation of meteorological events such as ice forming is a key challenge to optimise the use of antifreeze on airport runways. To obtain a predictive numerical tool of ice forming on the runways, Groupe ADP and SIMTEC developed a COMSOL Multiphysics® model, in which several physical ... Read More

As a high-tech silicon producer, it is our goal to provide efficient and sustainable production technologies. This requires to constantly upgrade our production concept. Thus, material and design innovations are an inevitable part of our everyday work, which leads our microwave ... Read More

Current trends of research aims at the reduction of conventional fossil fuel consumption so as to mitigate anthropogenic global warming and thus to combat with the climate change. This can be done by shifting to more efficient, alternate, non-conventional and environmental friendly ... Read More
