Chlorine reactor is used to dry molten LiCl-KCl eutectic salt before it is put to use in electrorefining operation. Molten salt electrorefining is a pyrochemical method of separation of heavy elements from spent metallic nuclear fuel. It is a high-temperature process which uses molten ... Read More
2D-modeling of arc welding in butt-joint configuration was performed in this study considering thermal-structural interactions. Thermal behavior was modeled in COMSOL Multiphysics® using the Heat Transfer Module with weld heat input as a Gaussian pulse whereas structural behavior using ... Read More
Laser drilling of titanium and its alloys is widely used in aerospace industry, as it offers selective removal of material at high accuracy and speed. However, laser drilling often inherits defects such as large heat affected zone, micro cracks and recast layer. These defects depend upon ... Read More
Gecko foots have inspired researchers to develop designs that can help robots to tread vertically oriented surface. These nanobots find many applications as they can perform a lot of operations more efficiently and also lower the cost of such operations. These can be employed in various ... Read More
The thermal behavior/heat flow of the Moon provides us an insight into its geophysical character and thermal evolution. The thermal behavior within the uppermost (top few meters) regolith layers is more complex due to their complex geometric, thermal and radiative properties. In order to ... Read More
In the following study COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to simulate evaporation of water droplets in a stream of heated air. This was a precursor to the modeling of a humidifier, which is used to humidify the air supplied to fuel cell stack. Since the percentage of water droplets was ... Read More
Radio-Frequency ablation (RFA) has received a considerable interest as a minimally invasive treatment technique used for destruction of a variety of primary and metastatic hepatic tumors. A parametric study of hepatic radio-frequency ablation using three-dimensional numerical models has ... Read More
A new microwave cavity for the regeneration of DPF regeneration was proposed and COMSOL Multiphysics® FEM model was used to investigate heating properties of the Silicon Carbide (SiC) based DPF. Electric field profile and thermal profile of the microwave cavity and DPF was established ... Read More
In this paper, a two dimensional finite element based microstructural model is constructed using Voronoi tessellation for representing polycrystalline material. Elastic wave propagation and Heat diffusion studies are then performed on constructed microstructure model.Computational issues ... Read More
Casting product performance depends on material, flow, Process Temperature, Solidification, Shrinkage and residual stress. In a casting process, not all available resources are utilized effectively which results in low quality of casting, defects and metal wastage. Physics based modeling ... Read More
