Various cantilever geometries (conventional rectangular,pi,Tandtriangular) are simulated using the Structural Mechanics module of COMSOL Multiphysics® to compare their spring constants. A layer of piezoelectric material (ZnO,AlN and PZT are modeled) is added to the cantilever and using ... Read More
In this project, we report a design of MEMS microphone that is based on the application of porous silicon in improving the sensitivity of bulk micro machined capacitive pressure sensors. The property of a low Young’s modulus of porous silicon and its dependence on porosity have been ... Read More
Efficient and low cost deionization is a major technology challenge. Energy efficient technologies like Capacitive deionization (CDI) are possible emerging alternatives. In the present work, we simulate charge adsorption in a 2D flow cell to study its dependence on applied potential and ... Read More
The variability of the design parameters caused by material properties like thermal conductivity is the major challenge in Micro Electromechanical System (MEMS). In resonator design the basic problem is that the frequency changes with temperature variation and quantitative explanation ... Read More
The dielectric properties of ferroelectric PVDF polymer embedded core-shell (Al-Al2o3) nanoparticle is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Significant increase in electrical permittivity of the composite at percolation threshold (K = 2800) is achieved when compared to ... Read More
A MEMS based electrostatic field sensor is presented which uses capacitive interrogation of an electrostatic force deflected microstructure. The deflection of the sensor is calculated both by simulation and theoretical model and it has been shown that the results of the simulations have ... Read More
The Helicon-Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is a two-stage electric propulsion system comprising of a helicon plasma source and an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device for plasma production and acceleration, respectively. Several diagnostics such as a ... Read More
Forced airflow cooling of a Volume Bragg Grating heated by a laser beam was investigated by means of simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics®. In addition to air cooling of unrestricted airflow, a case of airflow directed by limiting glass plates was investigated. A number of temperature ... Read More
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received tremendous attention as alternative photon harvesting devices. While the sintered TiO2 nanoparticle network attached with dye molecules achieves efficient photon absorption, the electrons have to diffuse through the long TiO2 network to ... Read More
The production of polymer fibers is done by drawing raw material (preform) in a vertical cylindrical furnace whose heated walls radiantly heat the preform. The wall temperatures are very high and the dominant heat transfer to the fiber is by radiation with little effect from the ... Read More
