The app discussed in this paper is based on a COMSOL Multiphysics® 1D heat transfer model that analyses the heat flow through a double pane window, with a gas chamber between the two panes, as would normally be mounted in the wall of a building, a container or a refrigerated chamber. The ... Read More
A MEMS based Knudsen’s pressure gauge working in the range of 1e-5 mbar to 10 mbar is designed and simulated in COMSOL. The working principle is based on Knudsen’s forces that arise when two plates are held at different temperatures and their separation is comparable to the mean free ... Read More
In Eiceman and Karpas’s book Ion Mobility Spectroscopy (2005), they define Ion Mobility Spectroscopy (IMS) as "the principles, methods, and instrumentation for characterizing chemical substances on the basis of velocity of gas-phase ions in an electric field." The production of the ... Read More
Organic-rich shale resources remain an important source of hydrocarbons considering their substantial contribution to crude oil and natural gas production around the world. Moreover, as part of mitigating the greenhouse gas effects due to the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, ... Read More
The pore sizes of many membranes being studied for separating the components in gas mixtures are on the scale of nanometers. Depending on the specific gases and pressures being used, this scale will put the flows in the Transition between Slip Flow and Knudsen regime. The differential ... Read More
Plasmonics is a new branch of the fascinating field of photonics and develops concepts to quench light beyond the diffraction limit and enhance electromagnetic fields. These enhancements occur in metals as localized surface plasmon polaritons (LSP) a coupling of the surface density ... Read More
A micro Planar Ion Mobility Spectrometer (P-FAIMS) has been simulated using multiphysics software. In P-FAIMS target ions are discriminated by the application of the proper separation voltages to the electrodes of the system. Modelling of vapour phase ions of two compounds have been ... Read More
The proposed dielectric mediums of a hot microbubble interface experience different behaviors due to the electrical mobility of carriers (electron and ion) within their domains. The responses of such mediums towards the initial and average mobility of these carriers can be classified as ... Read More
Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) processes are applied for the removal of impurities from various gas streams. The limiting factor of a TSA process is the regeneration step, which is characterized by long heating and cooling times. To reduce the regeneration time, indirectly heated and ... Read More
In this paper a finite element method(FEM) study of a surface acoustic wave (SAW)device excited by electrostatic coupling method is performed by using COMSOL Multiphysics. We have modeled a Rayleigh wave type SAW device by choosing YZ Lithium niobate as the substrate. The effect of ... Read More
