Remote Sensing of Electromagnetically Penetrable Objects: Landmine and IED Detection

R. Eze [1], G. Sivulka [2], ,
[1] City University of New York - LaGuardia Community College, Long Island City, NY, USA
[2] Regis High School, New York, NY, USA

The detection, characterization, and classification of underground environmental hazardous objects [mines, IEDs, and other unexploded military hardware] is a worldwide problem that needs urgent attention and solution. While electromagnetic sensor technologies have been applied to ... Read More

Novel Approach for Teaching Microchemical Systems Analysis to Chemical Engineering Students Using Interactive Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)

A. Nagaraj [1], P. L. Mills [1],
[1] Department of Chemical and Natural Gas Engineering, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, Kingsville, TX, USA

Chemicals are an integrated part of our daily life. While chemicals are significant contributor to a nation’s economy, sound management of chemical production is essential for environmentally friendly operation without maximizing operational costs. Next generation technologies must be ... Read More

Computer Simulation of Microwave Heating of Initially Frozen Sandwiches Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder

D. Fu [1], L. Wang [2], J. Liao [1], S. Dus [1], K. Bearson [1],
[1] Tyson Foods, Downers Grove, IL, USA
[2] Simulprocess, Summerfield, NC, USA

Customers typically prepare sandwiches using a microwave oven to heat a frozen sandwich. This causes huge temperature variations and quality issues due to multicomponent with different dielectric and physical properties and with phase changes at different freezing points in the heating ...

FEM Convergence for PDEs with Point Sources in 2-D and 3-D

M. Gobbert [1], K. M. Kalayeh [2], J. S. Graf [1],
[1] Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA
[2] Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA

Numerical theory provides the basis for quantification of the accuracy and reliability of a FEM solution by error estimates on the FEM error vs. the mesh spacing of the FEM mesh. This paper presents techniques needed in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to perform computational studies for ... Read More

Design of Solar Thermal Dryers for 24-hour Food Drying Processes

F. S. Alleyne [1], R. R. Milczarek [1],
[1] Healthy Processed Foods Research Unit, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Albany, CA, USA

Solar drying is a ubiquitous method that has been adopted for many years as a food preservation method. Most of the published articles in the literature provide insight on the performance of solar dryers in service but little information on the dryer construction material selection ... Read More

Preliminary Study of Particle Trajectory and Secondary Flow in Bend Configurations to Reduce Erosion

O. Ayala [1], A. Arruda [2], L. Calembo [2], E. Enes [2], D. Monteiro [2], R. Paizante [2], A. Rocha [2], M. Simões [2], J. Michaeli [1],
[1] Department of Engineering Technology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA
[2] Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, CAPES, Brasilia, DF, Brazil

To the best of our knowledge, only few researchers have made attempts to minimize the erosion in bends by modifying the bend configuration in order to alter the particle-laden flow pattern to reduce the erosion. In this work, we revisited those previously proposed bend configurations to ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Automated Installation Verification via LiveLink™ for MATLAB®

M. W. Crowell [1],
[1] Research Reactors Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

Verifying that a local software installation performs as the developer intends is a potentially time consuming but necessary step for nuclear safety related codes. Automating this process not only saves time, but can increase reliability and scope of verification compared to ‘hand’ ... Read More

Modeling Conventional Swing of a Cricket Ball

R. Latchman [1], A. Pooransingh [1],
[1] University of the West Indies - St. Augustine, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago

Conventional swing is one phenomenon which a bowler uses to gain an advantage over the batsman. This study involved simulating conventional swing in the CFD Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software and comparing the simulated results with experimental results of previous researchers. The ...

Quantum Mechanics Applications Using the Time Dependent Schrödinger Equation in COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

A. J. Kalinowski [1],
[1] University of Connecticut, East Lyme, CT, USA

The paper illustrates the use of COMSOL for obtaining the quantum mechanics wave function Ψ(x,y,z,t) as a solution to the time dependent Schrödinger equation. Once having Ψ(x,y,z,t), it can be used to compute the probability of a particle being in a specific zone within the spatial ... Read More

3D Simulation of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in the Treatment of Brain Tumors

M. Nour [1], A. Lakhssassi [1], E. Kengne [1], M. Bougataya [1],
[1] Université du Québec en Outaouais, Gatineau, QC, Canada

Abstract: Due to the restriction of the number of probes that a patient can tolerate, and the inaccurate information provided by the invasive temperature measurements, which provide information only at discrete points, a mathematical model simulation is more effective to help doctors in ...
