We present a detailed 2D COMSOL Multiphysics® model used to determine and improve the conversion efficiency in a liquid-metal microfluidics-based portable energy transducer. To date, most work on power generation technologies has focused on the optimization of existing technologies, and ... Read More
The non-coiled spring, the most ancient and crucial mechanical component, has been widely used in different industry at different scales. During the spring design process, performance, robustness, tolerances, and cost always need to be considered and certain trade-off have to be made. As ... Read More
Power Transformers are the most important piece of power system elements and protecting this device from failures, especially from the internal faults has been a major challenge. The internal faults such as Turn-to-Turn (T2T) and Turn-to-Ground (T2G) has been attributed to most of the ... Read More
This communication describes a model created to investigate the effect of mold-metal contact on casting solidification in the continuous casting process. The Heat Transfer and Solid Mechanics modules of COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software are used to construct a non-linear finite ... Read More
An important attribute for numerical simulations is to provide accurate quantified solution values. Thus it is useful to find complex problems with analytic solutions to confirm the numerical results obtained from software. The well-known proximity effect causes a redistribution of ... Read More
NASA’s future human exploration missions will require chemical processing plants to convert local resources into consumables to support astronaut activities [1]. The thin and mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars is estimated to have 5 – 10 particles/cm3 with diameter of 3.2 – 5 μm ... Read More
Localized Joule heating within integrated circuit (IC) chips is the leading cause of non-uniform temperature distribution within the circuit structure of the chips. Such variation in temperature enhances the biased diffusion of metal atoms along current carrying interconnects, a ... Read More
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are easier to install and maintain since the rotor shaft they attached to is typically set transverse to the wind direction. Therefore, the generator and rotation transmission mechanisms can be placed at the base level, where it is close to the ground. ... Read More
Hot air is required in many engineering applications such as heating spaces and drying food. Solar air heater is used to heat air in an environmentally friendly way. The solar air heater consists of many components that are worthy to be studied to improve the performance of the solar air ... Read More
Flow of lava in underground lava tubes is an important mechanism in volcanic eruptions. Most direct measurements of active lava tube flows are typically impossible due to unstable and dangerous terrain, high temperatures (2140°F / 1170°C), and complex and spatially extended tube networks ...
