An Analysis of the Synchronous Transport Phenomena Involved in Pasta Drying Process
This work is focused on the development of a physical-mathematical model capable of predicting the temperature and water content fields within a pasta sample which is exposed to a stream of drying air flowing under turbulent conditions. Therefore, the equations concerning the transfer of ... En savoir plus
Optimal Design of Baking Plates for an Inductive Wafer Baking Oven
Baking is a central production step in the industrial production of edible wafers and waffles. The initially liquid batter is heated with a pair of metallic baking plates. Establishing a uniform and accurate temperature at the baking face (inner baking plate surface) is crucial for ... En savoir plus
Efficient Geothermal Cooling in Harsh Environments: A Combined Experimental and Modelling Approach
In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... En savoir plus
Modeling Strategy of a Large Field of Shallow Borehole Heat Exchangers
Transforming the energy sector worldwide towards renewable, climate-neutral energy sources requires innovative ideas and excellent engineering solutions.

Development of a Special COMSOL® Interface Based on an Alternative Model for Bentonite Re-Saturation
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in most countries worldwide for use in radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydro-mechanically (THM) coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based ... En savoir plus
Modeling of Thermal Load and Electric Fields in Microfocus X-Ray Tubes
The thermal load on the system components is one of the technical problems in the development of microfocus X-ray tubes. To improve their stability in long-term use, it is important to understand the physical phenomena and their influence on the system stability and filament lifetime. To ... En savoir plus
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 ... En savoir plus
Using COMSOL® in a Connected Virtual Factory -Thermal RSM for Rapid Adaptable Packaging Line
A tablet blister cavity is thermally modelled using the Shell interface in COMSOL® and a response surface created to connect to other simulations such as process flow/cost models to form a surrogate model. This virtually represents a pharmaceutical tablet packaging line, that is ... En savoir plus
Combustion Resistance of Fine Metal Parts
The presence of oxygen in metal installations can influence their flammability, which leads to frequent combustion ignitions. Various studies have been done to characterize this ignition, in order to classify metals according to their degree of flammability, and to minimize the risk of ... En savoir plus
Heat Transfers and Solid Mechanics in Microarchitectured Materials Using Periodic Homogenization
Microarchitectured materials are generally made of different compounds bound at the microscopic level using a periodic pattern. This results in a macroscopic material with new properties arising from each of the individual compound properties and the way the microarchitecture binds them. ... En savoir plus
