Modeling the ELENA Electron Cooler with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

G. Tranquille[1]
[1]CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

ELENA is a small cooler decelerator ring at CERN which will be built to increase substantially the number of usable antiprotons delivered to experiments for studies with antihydrogen and antiprotonic nuclei. COMSOL Multiphysics® software has been used to completely model the ELENA ... Read More

Modeling an Adsorption Process in a Shell-and-Tube-Heat-Exchanger-Type Adsorber

G. Salazar Duarte[1], B. Schürer[1], C. Voss[1], D. Bathen[2]
[1]Linde AG, Munich, Germany
[2]Universität Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) and Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) are commonly used for separation/purification of gas mixtures in industrial processes. The cycle time of industrial TSA processes usually ranges from several hours to days. The reason for this long cycle time is the ... Read More

Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer of Aluminum Metal Foam Subjected to Pulsating Flow

A. Bayomy[1], M. Z. Saghir[1]
[1]Ryerson University, Toronto, ON, Canada

The rapid development of electronic devices leads to more demand for efficient cooling techniques. Porous media represent a convincing passive cooling enhancer due to its large contact surface area to volume ratio and intense mixing of fluid flow. In the present work, numerical studies ...

An Automatic Modeling Approach for Optimized Positioning of an Electrostimulative Implant in the Human Femoral Head

Y. Su[1], D. Kluess[1], W. Mittelmeier[1], M. Ellenrieder[1], U. van Rienen[2], R. Bader[1]
[1]Department of Orthopaedics, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany
[2]Institute of General Electrical Engineering, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany

Introduction Electromagnetic stimulation is a common therapy to support bone healing in cases of avascular necrosis or pseudarthrosis. An electrostimulative screw implant (Asnis III s-series screw in Figure 1) is used to stimulate bone regeneration in the treatment of femoral head ... Read More

Acoustical Analysis of a Home Recording Studio

K. Anderson[1], A. Smith[1], D. Forgette[1]
[1]Mechanical Engineering, California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, Nonlinear FEM/CFD Multiphysics Simulation Lab, Pomona, CA, USA

In this poster the acoustic analysis of a small home recording studio is presented.. Figure 1 illustrates the recording studio room which was simulated using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Acoustics Module [1]. The propagation of sound is modeled as pressure waves in which ... Read More

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Material Structure Grading in the Direction Normal to the Electrode/Electrolyte Interface Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

M. Andersson[1], B. Sundén[1]
[1]Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden

Fuel cells (FCs) are promising as an energy producing device, which at this stage of development will require extensive analysis and benefit from numerical modeling at different time- and length scales. COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to describe an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel ... Read More

Optimization of Architectured Structures in Building for Harness, Storage, and Release of Energy

C. Thoumyre[1], P. Lhuissier[1], L. Salvo[1], G. Bienvenu[2], M. Kermarrec[2]
[1]University Grenoble Alpes, SIMaP, Grenoble, France
[2]Hevatech, Ville-la-Grand, France

The problem of storage, and release of thermal energy is an important challenge in various industrial fields. Several systems for thermal energy storage exist like phase change materials (PCM) and thermochemical storage [1]. The first system usually addresses short term storage (day ... Read More

Pore-Level Influence of Contact Angle on Fluid Displacements in Porous Media

H. Ali Akhlaghi Amiri[1]
[1]University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway

Wettability affects two-phase displacements in porous media by determining the microscopic distribution of fluids in pore spaces. The impact of wettability on transport properties at macro-scales has been widely addressed in literature; however a deeper understanding of wettability ... Read More

Virtual Pharmacokinetic Model of the Human Eye

L. Murtomäki[1], S. Kotha[2]
[1]Aalto University, Greater Helsinki, Finland
[2]University Of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland

There is a great need for an effective drug treatment of the posterior eye, as the major reason for visual disability in industrial countries is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). In USA alone, there are almost 2 million people affected by AMD [1]. A virtual pharmacokinetic 3D model ... Read More

Evaluation of the Shutdown Time of Subsea Pipeline for Oil Transportation

D. Maciel[1], N. Bouchonneau[1]
[1]Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil

The maintenance plan or rush-to-repair of a subsea pipeline for oil transport may result in the shutdown of the line, in other words, may stop the flow of fluid. During the shutdown, the temperature of the oil tends to decrease continuously, and the heavy molecules tend to crystallize ... Read More
