Chemical vapor deposition is considered a promising method for synthesis of graphene films on different types of substrate utilizing transition metals such as Ni. However, synthesizing a single-layer graphene and controlling the quality of the graphene CVD film on Ni are very ... Read More

Accurate and efficient tracking is important for designing particle accelerators as well as many other applications which use electromagnetic fields to control particles. We have developed a tracking code in MATLAB® Simulink® which uses electric and magnetic fields calculated in COMSOL ... Read More

Understanding the interactions between microbubbles and surfaces is key to the successful deployment of microbubbles in a range of applications. Two important examples are their use as a drug delivery mechanism, and their potential use of acoustically-driven bubbles as microscale ... Read More

A characteristic feature of nanochannels is that surface properties (e.g., electrical charge) play a more significant role in the transport of fluid and electrolyte. Two oppositely directed flows (electroosmotic flow and pressure-driven flow) determine the flow profile at the nanopore ... Read More

• Real-time detection and monitoring of bio-fuel blend-ratio and adulterated automobile fuels by a reproducible micro-fabrication process in a cost-and-time efficient manner. • COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations and modelling of Viscosity based Laminar Flow inside a Y-shaped Micro ... Read More

Ultrasound imaging probes are widely used for several types of diagnosis applications. In the present work we focus our attention on a disk-type probe, which is widely used in CW and PW operating conditions. In particular we present a 2D-axial symmetry FEM for the probe, capable to ... Read More

Submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) is an efficient technology for wastewater treatment that combines biological process and membrane filtration in one single stage. In the most usual configuration, submerged membrane hollow fibers are set in several planes. Air is introduced from the ... Read More

Microwave drying of foodstuffs is a complex interplay of mass, momentum, and energy transport coupled with large deformation of the solid. To be able to better understand the microwave drying process, a fundamentals-based three dimensional (3D) multiphase porous media based model is ... Read More

Insulin released by the beta-cells of pancreatic islets is the main regulator of glucose homeostasis, hence, insulin secretion models are of considerable interest for many possible applications. Building on our previous oxygen consumption and cell viability model for avascular islets of ... Read More

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
