When milk is taken out of a refrigerator it has to be heated up to 37°C. The standard solution is to put the bottle in a bath of warm water and wait. The goal is quickly to achive a uniform temperature of 37°C, without ever exceeding 40°C. Using COMSOL Multiphysics and a measurement ... En savoir plus

Adulteration of automobile fuels, especially petrol and diesel is a rampant malpractice in India. With the rising prices of fuel and the subsidy on kerosene, getting away with even 10-15% adulteration is immensely profitable.To check adulteration effectively, it is necessary to monitor ...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors proved themselves as a promising device for many kinds of applications such as optical biosensing, binding constant determinationor nanofilm thickness measurements. Here we simulate using COMSOL Multiphysics® the light-polaritons coupling for the ... En savoir plus

In this work the authors report on a CFD simulation of a pipe flow model. Fluid mechanics are here combined with heat transfer phenomena. To create a mathematical model of a pulsed hot wire system i.e., the thermo-fluidic impulse response of a pulsed hot wire, a simulation model is going ... En savoir plus

The use of optical sensors in the industry is still growing. A transmission of signal from the sensors is mostly done by optical fibers. Switching the signals from optical paths may be done by using micromechanical silicon switches. The main advantage is an ability to transmit data from ... En savoir plus

Accelerometers are successfully commercialized MEMS devices. COMSOL Multiphysics® has been used in the modeling, simulation and optimizing of this design. The piezoresistive accelerometer is made up of a square proof mass with flexures supporting it. The piezoresistors are placed near ... En savoir plus

The main components in lab on chip are micro fluidic structure, functionalized sensing block , ... En savoir plus

The Integration of contact heat measurement with intelligent fire fighter gloves assumes parametric simulations with the heat transfer module of COMSOL. A thermocouple is embedded into high temperature protective layers of the glove and measures contact heat. This is done by by pressing ... En savoir plus

A three-dimensional finite element model, based on the linear field equations for superimposed small vibrations onto nonlinear thermoelastic stressed media given by Lee and Yong, was developed. This method involves solving the thermal stress and piezoelectric model with geometric and ... En savoir plus

The simulation of a micromirror using polyimide as the structural material is presented. The simulation was used to verify the initial design parameters and to explore the different characteristics of the electromechanical device. For simulation simplicity the electrodes are integrated ... En savoir plus
