Microwave heating has been used in industry because of its pollution free and rapid heating technique [1]. It consists of an electromagnetic wave that passes through a media with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz [2] to generate heat in the system. The purpose of the current work ... Read More
Focused ultrasounds are used in many medical applications as a treatment: it is important to evaluate the induced effects of such a procedure to achieve a high accuracy while keeping the untargeted surrounding areas safe. In the present paper, COMSOL Multiphysics®, a simulation software ... Read More
Wind turbine towers can often become modal if matched closely in frequency with the excitation associated with rotating components in the drive train, such as gearboxes and generators. When these conditions are met, the modal response is greatly amplified due to the very low structural ... Read More
Diamond is a modification of carbon and so far the hardest known material. It is well suitable as a protection layer on various materials at high erosive, mechanical or chemical load. CVD diamond coated tools have high wear resistance, tool life, and surface quality. In this research ... Read More
Lead-acid battery is a reversible battery used generally automotive industry. A lead-acid battery cell contains two electrodes with pasted active material, an electrolyte and a separator. Electrode transmits current with electrons whereas electrolyte transmits current with ions. A grid ... Read More
The impedance tube is commonly used to characterize sound absorbing material. In order to obtain reliable results, the sample must fit perfectly into the cross section of the tube. In practice, this often results in a minimal gap between the sample and the wall of the tube. A narrow gap ... Read More
In the field of laser applications, surface treatment is highly studied. Two process categories are commonly used. First processes use very short pulses (femto or pico seconds) known to avoid thermal effects and to have high spatial resolutions. Second processes have higher interaction ... Read More
Microreactors have gained popularity in fuel production industry. This is due to its high surface area to volume ratio, enhanced mass and heat transfer, short residence time and a more sustainable practice. The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction of 4-Propylguaiacol (4PG) to 4 ... Read More
Ice flows because at low stresses it deforms viscously; the viscosity depends upon the stress. The lubrication approximation (LA) states shear stress is proportional to the product of the ice depth and surface slope. At ice divides the slope and shear stress are zero meaning the ... Read More
The COMSOL Multiphysics® Multibody Dynamics Module was used to analyze the performance of a high-speed metal forming press consisting of multiple processes for preform of aluminum blanks. The objective was to redesign the drive mechanism of the press, changing from a 4 bar linkage ... Read More
