Model Development and Implementation of a Membrane Shift Reactor

J. Völler[1], M. Follmann[1], C. Bayer[1], and T. Melin[1]

[1]AVT Chemical Process Engineering, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany

Low temperature fuel cells require hydrogen of high purity for electricity production to avoid catalyst poisoning. To purify hydrogenrich flue gases from hydrocarbon steam reforming membrane shift reactors with a metal membranes may be utilized. A model of a tubular membrane shift ... Read More

Tuning Sensitivity to Ectopeptidase Rates in the Rat Hippocampus Using Numerical Simulations

Y. Ou[1], S. Weber[1]
[1]University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

We have created and optimized a multiphysics model in COMSOL Multiphysics® software that studies sensitivity to ectopeptidase rates in the rat hippocampus. Ectopeptidases are membrane-bound enzymes whose catalytic domains face the extracellular space (ECS) (Figure 1). They have ... Read More

Electrostatic Fluid Structure Interaction (EFSI) on the Huygens Experiment

R. Godard [1], J. de Boer[1], N. Ibrahim[2], and G. Molina-Cuberos[3]
[1]Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2]University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
[3]Campus Espinardo, Murcia, Spain

The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) was designed to characterize the physical properties of the lower atmosphere and surface of Titan, the planet-size moon of Saturn. The Relaxation Probe (RP) sensor on the Huygens probe, determined the electrical conductivity in the ... Read More

Development of Micro/Nano Machines using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Shoji MARUO[1]

[1]Yokohama National University, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan

We have developed micro/nano machines such as optically driven micro/nano pumps and spiral-shaped piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters. COMSOL Multiphysics has been used for the design and development of the micro/nano machines. For example, optical force affected to a metallic ... Read More

Simulation of Planar Wave Flagellar Propulsion of Nanorobots using COMSOL

N. Londhe, R. Majumdar, J. Rathore, and N. Sharma
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering
Birla Institute of Technology and Science
Pilani, Rajasthan
India

Nanorobots may be used in the advancement of medical technology, healthcare, and environment monitoring by swimming in biological fluids flowing in narrow channels of a few hundred nanometers in the area of bio-medical engineering. The pronounced effects in nanometer scale such as ... Read More

Air Damping of Oscillating MEMS Structures: Modeling and Comparison with Experiment

S. Gorelick[1], M. Leivo[1], U. Kantojärvi[1]
[1]VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Espoo, Finland

Excessive air damping can be detrimental to the performance of oscillating MEMS components. Complex systems, such as structures in pre-etched cavities or angular comb-drive scanning mirrors, typically require simulations to reliably evaluate the air damping. The simulated and ... Read More

COMSOL-Based Nuclear Reactor Kinetics Studies at the HFIR

D. Chandler[1], J. Freels[2], R. Primm III[3], and G. Maldonado[1]
[1]Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN
[2]Research Reactors Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN
[3]Primm Consulting, LLC., Knoxville, TN

The computational ability to accurately predict the dynamic behavior of a nuclear reactor core in response to reactivity-induced perturbations is an important subject in reactor physics. Space-time and point kinetics methodologies were developed for the purpose of studying the transient ... Read More

Numerical Model For Rocking Of Mono-Pile In A Porous Seabed

D-S. Jeng, X. Luo, and J. Zhang
Division of Civil Engineering, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland, UK

Offshore wind and wave energy industries have developed considerably in the last two decades. Most offshore energy structures used in the existing projects are mono-piles in shallow water due to simplicity of installations, design and control. Numerous research for the design and ... Read More

Multiphase Porous Media Model for Microwave Drying Spherical Potatoes

H. Zhu[1], T. Gulati[2], K. Huang[1], A.K. Datta[2]
[1]Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China
[2]Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA

Mathematical description of microwave drying requires the solution of two different physics: electromagnetics in the microwave oven cavity and food material and, transport process (mass, momentum and heat transport) in the food material. Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetics were ... Read More

Modeling Deep-Bed Grain Drying Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

J.G. Pieters[1], R. ElGamal[1], F. Ronsse[1]
[1]Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Department of Biosystems Engineering, Ghent, Belgium

CFD simulations were carried out to predict the convective heat and mass transfer coefficients in the rice bed, and correlations were developed for the convective heat and mass transfer coefficients as a function of drying air flow rate. The developed correlations were used to extend the ... Read More
