This work aims at the modelling of a 5 cm^2 Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) with mixed serial/parallel serpentine flow fields in terms of current/voltage behaviour. The geometrical design of the single cell is presented in figure 1. The function principle as well as the electrochemical ... Read More
For the commercialization of membraneless microfluidic fuel cell, voltage and minimum power demand for various applications need a precise selection of fuel and oxidant flow rates to achieve the optimum cell performance. A numerical study on a membraneless microfluidic fuel cell was made ... Read More
The scientific method requires techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge [1]. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the ... Read More
Venovenous extracorporeal life support (VV-ECLS) provides gas exchange support for severe lung failure by using an extracorporeal circuit consisting of a blood pump and an artificial membrane lung. Blood is withdrawn from a cannula placed into the inferior vena cava, and returned from ... Read More
High levels of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in Operating Theatres (OT) is an important issue in order to contribute in prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSI). Despite of specific plant layouts are applied for OT ventilation (e.g. unidirectional flow), the effective use conditions can ... Read More
高温气冷堆中使用了大量的碳素材料，作为多孔材料，碳素材料含有一定水分等杂质。为了减小反应堆高温运行条件下的堆内材料腐蚀，高温堆在初装堆和事故后需要对一回路进行严格的加热除湿操作。目前一回路加热除湿主要是依靠主氦风机旋转，将动能转换为热能来提升温度。本文将采取另外一种方案，在蒸汽发生器处增加外加热源来加热一回路工质。基于大型商用软件COMSOL Multiphysics建立高温堆内一回路加热的流动传热模型，对两种加热方案的一回路升温过程作数值分析，为高温堆加热除湿方案的选择提供有益的指导。本文中使用的物理场为传热——共轭传热——湍流，多物理场耦合为非等温流动。 Read More
Standing column wells (SCW) are open-loop geoexchange systems used to provide space heating and cooling to buildings. As they use groundwater as heat carrier fluid and modify its thermo-chemical conditions along the year, they may favor calcite dissolution and precipitation, thus ... Read More
Examples of Electromagnetic processes are presented: (1) cold crucible, (2) electromagnetic pump, (3) DC electromagnetic brake. A combined approach by using multiphysics modeling with Comsol and experimental validation is used in order to give some guidelines for process improvement and ... Read More
Introduction Among the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from air, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is considered a very promising technology [1,2]. PCO can achieve mineralization of harmful VOCs to CO2 and H2O using only UV light [3]. A ... Read More
This presentation describes the numerical simulation model where gas/liquid two-phase porous media flow equations are coupled to multicomponent gas-phase transport and water-phase transport equations in COMSOL Multiphysics. This is done in order to predict the landfill stabilization ... Read More
