The free-radical photo-polymerization of thermoset polymers is an essential part in additive manufacturing, in particular for the Stereolithography (SLA) printing technique. A better understanding of the photo-polymerization and its relation to the process is required to improve the ... Read More
The heat transfer rate and borehole design represent great challenges to thermal equipment designer of the ground-coupled heat pump. The present model represents a mathematical numerical technique implemented to tackle such problem. A thermal assessment was established to estimate the ... Read More
Micromachined ultrasound transducers can work as a sensor or actuator for measuring fluid speed and direction, mixing and exciting particles (sonication), taking images (ultrasonography), non-destructive testing and many other purposes in various fields. In this work, a COMSOL ... Read More
The design and construction of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems for the study of surface reactions has lead to high impact innovation in a myriad of industries. A small volume reactor compatible with ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) surface-science instrumentation has been designed, modeled and ... Read More
Viscous fingering is a topic of interest since the beginning of computational fluid dynamics. Here we focus on the classical constellation of miscible displacement, as it has been investigated in Hele-Shaw cells. A temperature or salinity front is entering with a fluid that has a ... Read More
A prominent technological goal at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) involves developing high temperature superconductors (HTS) for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at fields above 31 T. Work presented here demonstrates the extensive use of finite element ... Read More
The ongoing trend towards miniaturization, higher integration as well as cost efficiency will make it necessary to investigate a new assembly method for micro components. In this paper, a novel method of fluidic-based micro assembly is presented. A self-assembly effect which is caused by ... Read More
A solar thermal power plant comprises of an optical system, heat source and power block. Optical system collects direct sunlight and concentrates it onto the receiver (shown in figure 1). The receiver intercepts the concentrated sunlight and converts it to heat. Finally, the heat is ... Read More
Using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5, a numerical model has been developed to determine the effect of the channel geometry and electrode configuration on cell performance based on polarization curves. The Butler-Volmer equation was implemented to determine the reaction rates at the electrodes. ... Read More
Temperature of sesame paste flowing through a screw-expeller was studied. Screw-expeller used consisted of a rotating tapered screw and a constant-inner-diameter stationary barrel. Since screw diameter was much larger than the sesame paste thickness, an unwrapped model was employed with ... Read More
