High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a standard method in the pharmaceutical industry for the separation and identification of chemical compounds. Modeling of band transport, or band broadening phenomena, can provide tremendous insight into problems of chromatography that ... Read More
PyroProcessing Research and Development Facility (PPRDF) is being setup in IGCAR to develop pyroprocessing technology. It consists of a large argon cell attached with Argon Recirculation and Purification System (ARPS). Once through Argon gas heater is an important process equipment in ... Read More
The mesh is a key component in numerical simulations as it represents the spatial discretization of the model geometry. To accurately measure the variation of the unknowns, a relevant mesh should have a high density of degrees of freedom in regions where the norm of the gradient of the ... Read More
In this paper, a numerical study is conducted on the melting and solidification process of metal foam/paraffin wax with cyclic heating and cooling. A mathematical model based on the Brinkman-Frochheimer extended Darcy equation and the local thermal non-equilibrium model (LTNE) is ... Read More
In the framework of the Austrian FFG project SaLüΗ!, a compact mechanical ventilation system with integrated micro-heat pump was developed. The aim was a high level of prefabrication and a compact design allowing for installation also in small flats, e.g. into the façade. Due to the ... Read More
Reperfusion injury is caused by the rapid restoration of blood flow to oxygen-starved tissue. Animal studies show that intermittent periods of occlusion (also called post-conditioning) during reperfusion can limit tissue damage to vital organs such as the heart and brain. These studies ...

Iouri Balachov is a Senior Scientist at SRI International (Menlo Park, CA) where he is leading development of Direct Carbon Fuel Cell technology for clean and efficient power generation from coal, biomass, and a wide variety of carbon containing fuels. Prior to SRI he was an engineer at ... Read More
The paper presents of the application of Kline-Fogleman modified to determine aerodynamic characteristics and flow filed around the exemplary airfoil. This type of airfoil is currently used in models and small unmanned aircraft. Work on the use of this profile in larger aircraft is on ... Read More
Plasma torches are used in processing of materials and in energy industry for producing plasma. In this work we use the Equilibrium DC Discharge physics interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a DC non- transferred arc plasma torch, under hypothesis of local thermodynamic equilibrium. ...
