Electrochemical flow cells have found widespread use in analytical chemistry due to their short response time, high sensitivity and selectivity. The geometrical flexibility and therefore, the ease of coupling the electrochemical to other experimental techniques has attracted considerable ... En savoir plus

In this work, we investigate the resonant properties of finite-sized membrane-mass-type elastic metamaterial thin plates. We find that the effective bending stiffness of such metamaterial thin plates can be controlled independently by the out-of-plane rotational resonances, so as to vary ... En savoir plus

Vacuum infusion processes are well adapted for large composites parts and, therefore, widely used for the manufacturing purposes in several applications fields such as aviation or naval industry. Simply speaking single plies or a given fibrous reinforcement is pre-shaped and positioned ... En savoir plus

Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) is the acoustic wave that propagates along the surface of the substrate with amplitude decaying exponentially away from the surface. A basic SAW device consists of two IDT’s on a piezoelectric substrate such as quartz. Surface Acoustic Wave can be ... En savoir plus

In view of an energy system based on fluctuating renewable sources, the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems plays a crucial role. In particular, large-scale underground water-based TES represent a promising solution as demonstrated by a number of cases currently being established ... En savoir plus

Treatment and prevention of malaria, a disease having an anopheles mosquito as a carrier, have become a severe medical issue to many countries in a tropical zone. It was reported that there have been patients about 300-500 millions all over the world[1]. Many countries in South East Asia ... En savoir plus

Rotating fluids are important in nature and technology. Many applications can be found in the field of meteorology and in rotating machinery. This investigation concerns the application of the swirl flow application mode in COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate nonlinear aspects of flows ... En savoir plus

A 3D model of a magnetic rotor both rotating and translationally moving at high-speed over a conductive guideway is modeled in steady-state using the convective A*-Φ formulation. The presence of the magnetic rotor (source field) is incorporated into the formulation via the boundary ... En savoir plus

Heat and mass transfer involved in drying is studied by using COMSOL 3.4. The effect of air temperature on the performance of the drying process applied to fresh food slices is scrutinized. COMSOL’s flexible formulation is exploited by using special drying kinetics for the substrate, ... En savoir plus

Bubbles trajectories in microchannel laminar flow can be controlled with fluidic forces. This effect finds applications in the field of electrochemical engineering. In this study, we investigate the bubble motion at moderate Reynolds number (1 En savoir plus
