A CO2 direct ocean capture system exploiting bipolar membrane (BPM) electrodialysis, gas-liquid contacter and pH-swing of the dissolved inorganic carbon species is designed for efficient and effective CO2 capture. COMSOL Multiphysics was used to study the BPM electrodialysis and CO2 ... En savoir plus

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

Gallium Oxide (β-Ga2O3) is an emerging wide bandgap oxide semiconductor that has garnered attention for power electronic applications because of its large 4.8 eV bandgap energy and critical electric field strength of ~ 8 MV/cm [1]. However, due to Gallium Oxides' poor thermal ... En savoir plus

We have recently published the discovery of avoided crossings present in the spectrum of freely vibrating rectangular thin plates(1). In this poster we show how the Structural Mechanics module of COMSOL Multiphysics was a fundamental tool to accomplish this feat, by easily generating ... En savoir plus

Eddy current thermography (ECT) is a non-destructive contact-free method of defect detection in a conductive material combining the electromagnetic induction of eddy currents and thermal imaging. This technique uses an excitation system consisting of an inductor with coil(s) carrying ... En savoir plus

In nanofluid delivery, backflow along the needle is a major hurdle to deliver drug-carrying nanofluid to the entire tumor. In theory, any approaches to decrease the overall flow resistance in tumors would facilitate drug delivery. The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical ... En savoir plus

Electromagnetic characterization plays an important role in both simulation and microwave heating applications. Particularly in the recovery of Mexican heavy oil, it is essential to perform electromagnetic characterization in order to understand more about the behavior of Mexican heavy ... En savoir plus

Electrothermal actuators convert an electrical signal into a mechanical signal via Joule heating. Due to their simplicity and reliability, electrothermal actuators are commonly used in various fields across length scales: from human-scale soft robotics to nanometer-scale sensors. We ...

A pneumonectomy is an invasive, high-risk surgical procedure performed to remove the right or left lung. Although this may be a life saving procedure for some patients, it has high morbidity rates and many complications post-pneumonectomy. Pneumonectomies result in the heart’s entire ... En savoir plus

Introduction: Modeling biological structures is challenging due to their often complex anatomical geometries and material properties. Finite element studies of the femur, the largest and strongest bone in the human body, have focused on the femoral neck, since this is where fractures ... En savoir plus
