CFD Simulation of Micro-channel Heat Sink used for Cooling Applications
Microfluidic device based applications are gaining importance since the last few years, mainly because of its potential of replacing large-sized equipment with relatively compact devices. Micro-channel heat sinks are one of the widely investigated applications as they can provide a very ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® based Simulation of Optical Response in Si Microline Array based Broadband Photodetector Fabricated on Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) Wafers
A horizontal array of Si microlines (line width ~1 µm) was formed on a Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafer [1] and was used as a photodetector to study the photoresponse in the wavelength range 400 nm to 1100 nm. The fabrication of partial suspended Si microstructure array was made using a ... Read More
Numerical Analysis of Bubble Powered Micropump
Development of micro-pumps will allow the minimization of many mechanical, bio-engineered and electrical systems, for example: controlled drug delivery systems or liquid cooled microprocessors. The development of such system is facing two major challenges: the design of actuation ... Read More
Electrode-Electrolyte Interface Simulation in Microbubble Distillation: Role of (DDLs) as Electrochemical Cell
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
Hyperloop: Magnetic Levitation Halbach Array Simulations
What is Hyperloop? Hyperloop is a futuristic train transportation concept which functions on the principle of magnetic levitation, where arrays of magnets, known as Halbach arrays are used to generate lift and thrust for the pod. How COMSOL Multiphysics® Was Utilised? COMSOL ... Read More
Simulation of the Oxygen Supply of Osteoblastic Cells in Dynamic 3D Cell Cultures
In biotechnology and medicine, cells are frequently grown on scaffolds with a three-dimensional channel structure. The oxygen and nutrient supply of the cells is realized by a medium flowing through the channels of the scaffolds. However, it is often difficult to obtain a confluent ... Read More
Coupling Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Inside a Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger
Scraped-surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) handle products that are viscous, that contain particles, and that tend to deposit on the heat transfer surface. The rotating scraper blades continuously remove any deposition on the heating or cooling surface, thereby maintaining the efficiency of ... Read More
Experimental Validation of a Multidimensional Model for an Indirect Temperature Swing Adsorption Unit
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
Modelling the Diffusion/Counter Diffusion of Oxygen and Solutes in Low Density Steels
Low Density Steels (LDS) mostly have additions of aluminum and/or manganese to reduce their weight and to obtain steel grades with various microstructures. The automotive industry is keenly interested in the development of LDS for reducing CO2 emissions by increasing fuel efficiency, ... Read More
Morphological Evolution of a Single Droplet Drying at High Temperatures
Single droplet drying (SDD) is an established experimental set up in which an isolated droplet is dried under a controlled environment. The drying behavior in the SDD experiments is often complicated and challenged to observe. Hence, a robust model of single droplet drying can provide an ... Read More
