Bioreactor landfill is based on a homogeneous distribution of the moisture content to increase waste biodegradation. Most of studies have shown that Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) can be a suitable method to study water content variation (2D and 3D). ERT is influenced by many ... En savoir plus

In this study, a new thermoelectric harvester with fluid flow for increased performance is introduced. The thermoelectric generator is 3D vertical configuration with p- and n-doped Silicon thermolegs. There is water flow between channels integrated through the thermoelectric columns, ...

Sensors for industrial applications require electro-magnetic compatibility protection elements. It is an advantage to incorporate the protection elements directly in the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). These protection elements however experience significant heating. It ...

An axially symmetric multiphysics model for industrial induction furnaces has successfully been converted from COMSOL Multiphysics version 3.5a to version 4.2. The model combines computation of magnetic fields, heat transfer and thermal stresses. The inner part of the furnace is ... En savoir plus

Determining the thermal conductivity of condensed matter attracted much attention in past years. While several techniques exist to measure the thermal conductivity of solids or thin films, the 3-omega-method is one of the most well-established due to its high accuracy. First, COMSOL ...

The purpose of this work is to investigate the triggering behaviour of safety fuses for mobile on board supply systems. The influence of different materials and shapes of the fuses on the triggering behaviour are analyzed. Furthermore, the simulation results obtained by the use of COMSOL ... En savoir plus

The efficiency of bioreactor lanfills depends on a homogeneous distribution of leachate in the waste body. Therefore, optimisation of leachate injection systems is a challenging issue for operators. Most studies have shown that surface Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) can be a ... En savoir plus

For PE insulated cables both the temperature difference ?T and the electric field coefficient ? have a significant influence on the electric field distribution because PE has a nonlinear electric conductivity which is approximately a function of the temperature and the electric field ...

A compression driver is a certain type of electrodynamic loudspeaker which has a phase plug with slits in front of the diaphragm. The slits are narrow enough that the so-called viscothermal effects are of significant importance. In this paper a 2D axisymmetric finite element model of a ... En savoir plus

This elaboration presents a pre-study on automatic rotor construction for the flywheel energy storage system dedicated to operate in the levitation mode. The optimization profile model is used as a basic profile source. The 3D flywheel shape is generated on the base of obtained ... En savoir plus
