Modeling of a Vapor Chamber Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
High power consumption chips have already become a major challenge for modern processors causing low thermal performances. Existing thermal solutions are not able to solve these high temperature issues efficiently. Two-phase cooling devices such as heat pipes and vapor chambers have ... Read More
Modeling of Delayed Desorption in Activated Carbon Filter Systems for Air Purification Applications.
Activated carbon filtration has proven to be a reliable method to clean indoor air. In such a system, air, contaminated with VOCs, is led through the filter where the contaminants are adsorbed onto the filter. However, for the long term stability of the air purification system, it is ... Read More
Modeling PCB Based Inductive Position Sensors with the COMSOL® AC/DC Module
The growing adoption of electric vehicles has led to increased exposure of cars to stray magnetic fields. To address this issue, inductive position sensors have emerged as a viable solution due to their inherent immunity to stray magnetic fields. Widespread adoption of the inductive ... Read More
Modeling the Indoor Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Botanical Biofiltration
Historically, indoor air quality (IAQ) has received less attention than outdoors, although people spend >90% of their time in the indoor environment. A major group of indoor air pollutants is volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are detrimental to human health even at low ... Read More
Modelling of Custom-Made Photocatalytic Wind Tunnel for Air Purification by Solar Photocatalysis
Heterogeneous photocatalysis an advanced oxidation process (AOP) which in combination with a catalyst and UV irradiation completely mineralizes organic pollutants from water or gases into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photocatalysis as a process is ... Read More
Modelling of Desaturation/Resaturation of Geological Repository Barriers Considering Gas Generation
Geological repository for highly radioactive waste disposal is a system of engineered and natural barriers. The objective of this system is to contain and isolate waste and protect the environment and humans from ionizing radiation. For the evaluation of performance of engineered ... Read More
Modelling of Interfacial Charges and Kinetics of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Photoanodes
In this study, we attempted to develop a simulation to better understand the kinetic of the dye regeneration process in photoanodes of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). For that purpose, a numerical model was developed using finite element simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The ... Read More
Modelling the Composition Gradient in Ni-Mn-Ga Single Crystal Grown by Floating Zone Method
Re-crystallisation of Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys in a floating zone (FZ) optical furnace is a complex problem that depends not only on the compositions of the master alloy and a seed crystal but on the growth speed and evolution of the molten zone shape during the crystal growth process. We ... Read More
Multiphysical Optimization of the Next Generation of Energy Efficient High Temperature Furnaces
To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming below 2 K compared to pre-industrial level, significant energy savings in all fields of industries will be required. One example of energy intensive processes in industrial fabrication is heat treatment. The applied ... Read More
Multiphysical Study of Copper Laser Welding Process Stability Using the COMSOL® Application Builder
A numerical model of laser welding process applied on highly optically reflective and thermally conductive materials such as copper has been developped. The latter considers multiphysical couplings of CFD, heat transfers and phase-field representation to account for topological ... Read More
