Verification for thermal performance of battery stack system is of critical importance during the design stage of any energy management system. The temperature of batteries during charging and discharging cycles should not exceed a permissible value. In current analysis work, ... Read More
Injection molding is one of the most diffused processes for mass production of polymeric components. It is adopted in many fields, from the automotive one to the biomedical field. The aspects related to environmental pollution make mandatory the reduction of plastic wastes, especially ... Read More
This work reports how an EWOD-driven micropump is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Electrowetting-on-Dielectrics (EWOD) is frequently used technique to manipulate liquids on small scales. With the help of the EWOD effect and the use of topological optimized tesla valves, a pump can ... Read More
Photovoltaic-powered electrolysis (PV-EC) though the most mature technology for zero-carbon integrated solar to hydrogen conversion, is still only approaching industrial and commercial relevance, and devices with light absorber area larger than 100 cm2 are quite rare [1,2]. Here, we ... Read More
In order to optimize the industrial “ammunition cooling” process, a COMSOL Multiphysics® model is proposed. A shell body filled with a melt-cast explosive formulation is poured and cooled by circulation of a heat transfer fluid. The solidification of the explosive composition has several ... Read More
Different phenomena control the performance and even selectivity in multiphase reactors. Moreover, a two way coupling between the physics could be expected when physical and/or chemical properties depend on the conversion rate. Hence, this presentation aims to show a methodology to model ... Read More
The progress within the field of additive manufacturing has eased the fabrication of new reactor geometries significantly. It is possible to design and print a reactor of tailored shape and size at comparatively low costs and short time. Printing and testing all sensible reactor designs ... Read More
Convective instability in a thin liquid layer is observed in many technical systems [1] and is of interest to the self-organization theory. To date, however, only simple problems with the convection between flat plates are well studied [2]. In real systems and devices, convective flows ... Read More
This work presents a small swimmer model in a low Reynolds number ($Re$) environment governed by the equation of motion for Stokes flow in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The entity, a few centimetres helical robot, is located inside of a pipe full of silicone oil, where the forces caused by the ... Read More
Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... Read More
