[2]CSIR- Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Pilani, Rajasthan, India

Load cells are force sensors, which are used in weighing equipment. The objective of this work is to develop MEMS based load cell. In this work two different load cell designs were simulated. First design is based on compressing a meander like polysilicon strain gage for the measurement ... Read More

Simulation Driven Design of Blood Warmer

Rajesh K. [1], Sivakumar A [1],
[1] HCL Technologies, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

Blood Warmer is a movable instrument intended to deliver peripheral warmth to the arterial piping so as to keep the blood under warm conditions or liquid passing by throughout transfusion. The instrument is used to keep the blood or fluids under desired warm states before to transfusion ... Read More

Ultrasound Pressure Field of a Resonating Piezoelectric Membrane with Three Excitation Electrodes

V. Tzanov [1], E. Ledesma [1], F. Torres [1], N. Barniol [1],
[1] Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain

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

Development of Eddy Current Probe using FEM for Matte Level Detection in Pyrometallurgical Furnaces

A. Saleem [1], P. R. Underhill [1], D. Chataway [2], T. Gerritsen [2], A. Sadri [2], T. W. Krause [1],
[1] Department of Physics and Space Science, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2] Hatch Ltd., Mississauga, ON, Canada

Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... Read More

Modelling Aircraft Fuel Gauging Unit using COMSOL Multiphysics Software

T. Ekwevugbe[1], and G. Bevan[2]
[1]Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development, De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom
[2]School of Engineering and Computing, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, Scotland

An investigation was undertaken into the suitability of using COMSOL for modeling an aircraft capacitive fuel gauging unit. A model of a sensor immersed in a fluid was developed for rectangular tank geometry with a range of fluid levels and sensor orientation using the electrostatics ... Read More
