Food dehydration processes assisted by high-power ultrasound (HPU) have become an efficient technology with a great potential in its implementation. To produce the desired effects in the samples, it is necessary that the dehydration system, composed by a HPU transducer and an ultrasonic ... En savoir plus

Plasma torches are used in processing of materials and in energy industry for producing plasma. In this work we use the Equilibrium DC Discharge physics interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a DC non- transferred arc plasma torch, under hypothesis of local thermodynamic equilibrium. ...

The confinement clean rooms used in industry are susceptible to higher count of particles per cubic meter of air after the usual work program. To decrease the economic and technological effects of particle concentration a micro-cleaning device was elaborated. A first approach of a 3D ... En savoir plus

In this paper, we use the PDE interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to implement the 2.5D frequency wave-number domain method to investigate the wave propagation in a deviated borehole penetrating a transversely isotropic formation. A convolutional perfectly matched layer is ... En savoir plus

A flow sensor based on calorimetric principle is designed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The sensor is capable of measuring the velocity from 0 to 1 m/s with a resolution of 0.001m/s. The system works with intrusive type mechanism in which the fluid flows across the sensor and ... En savoir plus

This paper presents a three-dimensional fluid model for a low-power microwave-excited argon microstrip plasma source operated at 2.45 GHz. The gas pressures in the gas channel are 50 and 100 Torr and the input power is 2 W. Simulations are performed by the Plasma Module of COMSOL ... En savoir plus

Exhaust noise must meet legislation targets, customer expectations and cost reduction which call for design optimization of the exhaust systems in the design phase. One solution is to use 3 dimensional linear pressure acoustics and calculate the transfer matrix of the muffler. The ... En savoir plus

This study presents investigations on a developed process design for manufacturing internal precision geometries by pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM) with help of multiphysics simulations. Therefore, a 2D axisymmetric transient model was created. The considered physical phenomena ... En savoir plus

Bloch waves in infinite periodic structures – much in vogue in the present metamaterial age – can be conveniently studied by COMSOL Multiphysics® software. This is demonstrated by a simple, yet rich two-dimensional example: a perforated sheet with square symmetry. Instead of plane waves ... En savoir plus

PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ... En savoir plus
