Simulation of a Dynamic Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger for Non-Newtonian Fluids

S. Birla [1],
[1] ConAgra Foods, Omaha, NE, USA

Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are commonly used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries for heat transfer, crystallization, and other continuous processes. One of the factor posing difficulties to heat transfer is viscosity. Highly viscous fluids tend to generate ... Read More

Analysis of a Prototype MRI Hybrid Birdcage RF Coil with Uncertainty Quantification (*)

J. T. Fong [1],
[1] National Institute of Standards & Technology, Gaithersbug, MD, USA

INTRODUCTION. In a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (see Fig. 1), it is necessary to excite the nuclei of a patient into coherent precession for imaging. This requires coupling between the nuclei and a source of radio frequency (RF) power (the transmitter). To receive a ... Read More

Electromagnetic Modeling of a Millimeter-Wavelength Resonant Cavity

J. C. Weatherall [1], J. Barber [1], B. T. Smith [2], J. Greca [1],
[1] Battelle Memorial Institute, Norwell, MA, USA
[2] U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate, Washington, DC, USA

The measurement of dielectric constant at frequencies of 20 GHz or greater is important for specifying the optical properties of materials at millimeter wavelength. One method of measurement uses a resonant cavity containing a sample of the material, and relates the resonant frequency ... Read More

Effect of Pretreatments on Throwing Power of Sacrificial Metallic Coatings

J. S. Lee [1],
[1] Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, MS, USA

Sacrificial metallic coatings (e.g. Mg-Rich Primer [MgRP]) have been evaluated for protection of aircraft aluminum alloy AA2024-T351 in marine immersion and atmospheric conditions. MgRP is designed to create a galvanic couple between the Al substratum and the Mg pigment in the primer. ... Read More

CFD Simulation of Pore Pressure Oscillation Method to Measure the Permeability of Tight Formations

M. Mokhtari [1], S. A. Madani [1], A. Seibi [1],
[1] Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, USA

Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... Read More

Nonlinear Mechanical Modeling of Thermoplastics

J. Bergstrom [1], N. Elabbasi [1],
[1] Veryst Engineering, Needham, MA, USA

The use of thermoplastic materials is increasing and it is becoming more important during the design process to accurately represent the non-linear material response in relevant loading conditions. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software supports advanced modeling capabilities for large ... Read More

Modeling Research Reactor Fuel Plate Hotspots with the Thin Layer and Thermal Contact Feature in the COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

M. J. Richards [1], A. E. Ruggles [2], J. D. Freels [3], ,
[1] Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA
[2] Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA
[3] Research Reactors Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

One challenge with converting nuclear research reactors to low enrichment fuels is the thermal-fluid performance. Local areas of high temperature, known as hotspots, limit reactor performance and thus require accurate modeling. A simplified fuel plate model is eveloped to compare ... Read More

Equation-Based Modeling: Simulation of a Flow with Concentrated Vorticity in an Unbounded Domain

J. M. Russell [1],
[1] Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL, USA

The velocity field of a fluid flow in an unbounded domain, R, in which the spin of fluid elements is nonzero only within a bounded subdomain, Ri---namely, the interior of a sphere of radius, a---is simulated by equation-based modeling. A change of independent variable motivated by Kelvin ... Read More

Study of Particle Collection Using Magnets

M. D. Cheng [1],
[1] Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

Airborne particles or aerosols are an unstable system with distributed properties among its individual particulate members. Its fundamental property such as particle size, composition, electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and morphology could change in response to ... Read More

Design of Next Generation Mid-infrared Fiber Optics

X. Ji [1], R. Page [2], V. Gopalan [1],
[1] Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, USA
[2] Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA, USA

Optical fibers that can deliver mid-infrared light in a wide wavelength range are in high demand due to their significant potentials in sensors, chemical imaging, optoelectronics and nonlinear optics applications. Semiconductors such as Ge, ZnSe and Si are good infrared-transparent ... Read More
