Comparison of Industrial Agitation for Batch Reacting Vessel Mixing in Bioethanol Fermentation
This paper presents the investigation into the phenomena during batch reactor vessel mixing comparing agitation equipment; the Rushton turbine and the Marine propeller; in the production of bioethanol by yeast fermentation. The key factors addressed in selecting equipment were fluid ... Read More
Implicit Large Eddy Simulations of 2D Flow and Heat Transfer in Thermoacoustic Resonators
The reduction of energy consumption in the building sector (nearly 40% of the energy consumption in Europe) is a real challenge to achieve the objective of the “2020 European climate and energy package”. In recent years, great interest is observed for the Stirling thermoacoustic ... Read More
Modeling and Simulation of Hydration Operation of Date Palm Fruits Using COMSOL Multiphysics
The control of the hydration during the thermal process of dates is crucial in order to save energy and to obtain a good quality for the final product. In this work, a theoretical model was developed in COMSOL Multiphysics software to describe the mass transfer phenomena involved in this ... Read More
Virtual Modeling of Thermo-Physiological Comfort in Clothing
This publication aims to investigate conjugate heat and mass transfer around a clothed virtual manikin. This research can be performed at different scales: (1) at material scale where a piece of textile is investigated in 1D or 2D space or (2) at system level where a clothed cylindrical ... Read More
Keyhole Behavior During Spot Laser Welding
The formation of porosities in spot laser welding depends on complex thermo-hydraulic phenomena. To understand and control these mechanisms, the COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model both the interaction and cooling stages of an isolated impact made with a Nd:YAG pulsed laser. ...

Development of a RheoDSC, an Instrument for Simultaneous Rheological and Calorimetric Measurements
Transformations in polymers, such as polymerisation, melting/crystallization, and phase separation/remixing, are associated with changes in both rheological and thermal properties. To permit simultaneous calorimetric and rheometric measurements, the RheoDSC was developed. The RheoDSC ... Read More
Simulating the Flow of Native Silk Feedstocks In Vivo
The ability to artificially produce silk fibers has great commercial, industrial and scientific implications. Much has been made of their remarkable mechanical properties but few have considered how they are imparted on the initially liquid silk feedstock.1 I am exploring how silk duct ... Read More
Development of a Laser Cladding Process Model
Additive manufacturing is attracting more and more interest. Laser Cladding is one of these additive manufacturing processes. For this a quasi-stationary physical based 3D process model is presented, which has been developed taking into account heat transfer, melt pool fluid flow ... Read More
Rotor Modeling at Low Temperature for NMR
Our laboratory is currently leading the design and the manufacture of a novel device that allows NMR spectroscopy to be cooled down to cryogenics temperature (in the 10-100 K range). The system features a sample-holder that rotates at very high frequencies (f >10 kHz). Two aerostatics ... Read More
Modeling an Ejector for Hydrogen Recirculation in a PEM Fuel Cell
PEM Fuel Cells’ durability and performance can be increased using an ejector based hydrogen recirculation system. In this work, a CFD model has been implemented to simulate the flow within an ejector used to recirculate hydrogen in PEM Fuel Cell systems. The model has been validated ... Read More
