In the sphere of pasta drying, where accurate prediction of temperature and moisture distribution is crucial, the application of modeling and simulation emerges as highly significant. This work focuses on the development of a physical-mathematical model capable of estimating the space ... En savoir plus

In power electronics applications, microelectronic chips face swift temperature changes during operation, characterized by heat pulses of sub-millisecond duration with temperatures rising by hundreds of Kelvin. Over time, these conditions may lead to degradation in the metallization ... En savoir plus

The experience of the eruption in Montserrat in 1997 has shown that the resistance of openings of buildings represents a crucial factor in the evaluation of vulnerability to the stresses caused by pyroclastic flows, although the static nature of the building itself is not compromised. ...

The blast furnace shaft is a huge counter flow reactor in which heat and mass exchange play a significant role in its mathematical modelling. The heat exchange model is already available in COMSOL Multiphysics® via the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium interface. This multiphysics coupling ... En savoir plus

Flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams are widely used as noise and vibration damping materials. Their porous random microstructure is composed of a visco-elastic frame structure with an interstitial fluid, normally air, filling the voids. The viscoelasticity of the foams is due to ...

Introduction Most current thermoregulation models represent the body in significantly simplified forms, e.g., cylinders or spheres. These simple geometries do not fully represent the complexity of bones, organs, etc. contained in the human body. Modern medical technologies allow for more ... En savoir plus

This research presents the design, simulation, and characterization of novel resonator structures based on the principles of coupling electric fields using periodic metamaterial-inspired configurations using COMSOL Multiphysics RF module. The resonators are meticulously crafted to ... En savoir plus

COMSOL® models of basal body deformation using the Beam Interface are compared to electron tomograms of Tetrahymena thermophila basal bodies high-pressure frozen while undergoing beating deformation. This approach provides insight into the nanoscale structures and internal forces ... En savoir plus

Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... En savoir plus

Water removal during paper and board manufacturing is an intensive energy process. The dewatering process generally consists of four stages wherein the last stage is comprised by thermal drying in where remaining water in fibres are evaporated on steam-heated cylinders. The thermal ... En savoir plus
