Study of Energy Transfer Mechanism for a Synchrotron X-ray Gas Absorber with COMSOL Multiphysics
The high power of X-ray beam delivered by synchrotrons and free electron lasers, up to 240 W/mm2, requires heat load management solutions to obtain the best performance from the optical elements which will shape the beam for its use in the experimental stations [1]. One solution is the ... Read More
Transient Model of a Fluorine Electrolysis Cell
In the nuclear fuel cycle, fluorine is produced by the electrolysis of the molten salt KF-2HF. It is a complex process to study since hydrofluoric acid and fluorine are hazardous and highly corrosive. A 3D-model of a lab-scale fluorine electrolysis cell has been developed to increase ... Read More
Using Multiphysics for Detecting Atmospheric Ice Through MuVi Graphene - Atmospheric Icing Sensor
This paper is a preliminary design study to develop a hybrid atmospheric icing sensor which have an adequate potential to detect an icing event, icing type and icing rate together with icing load. The physics to detect icing event and icing type have been numerically understood using ... Read More
Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer Model to Simulate Hygrothermal Behavior of Bio-Based Materials
This poster presents a numerical modeling approach for hygrothermal behavior of bio-based materials. The mathematical model describes the heat and moisture transfer through a wall of bio-based materials. The studied wall is subjected to both convective heat transfer and moisture flux ... Read More
Using COMSOL Multiphysics to Model Crust Development at the Surface of Whole Beef Meat Subjected to Hot Air Jet
Crust which develops at the surface of meat leads to reactions which affect food color, flavor and safety. Whole pieces of meat are only contaminated by microorganisms at their surface. Thus intense thermal treatment can inactivate pathogenic bacteria; however the associated high ... Read More
Thermal Conductivity of Composites: How COMSOL Revealed an Omission in a Classical Paper
The initial motivation for this work was to explore the relationship between the shape of particles and the thermal conductivity of nanofluids or nanocomposites containing them. Since the possibility for manufacturing exotically-shaped particles is ever growing, it was thought useful to ... Read More

Temperature Propagation during Cell Stacking Processes for Lithium-Ion Cells
A thermo-physical 3D model of a commercial Li-ion battery was developed and validated. Visualization of the temperature distributions inside a Li-ion cell during cell stacking processes were simulated. Critical temperature levels depend on position, duration and intensity of the thermal ... Read More
