Punch Design for Uniaxial Forging Process of γ-TiAl Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
The increasing demand for improved metallurgical products strongly motivates the optimization of manufacturing processes and design of γ-TiAl products. Among the large variety of available forming processes, cold closed-die forging is particularly suitable for producing net shape ... En savoir plus
Modeling of High-Temperature Ceramic Membranes for Oxygen Separation
Oxygen transfer through ceramic membranes at high-temperature can substantially reduce costs respect to conventional separation methods. With the aim to improve the determination of the properties of the ceramic materials, a lab-scale permeation set-up was modeled using the Chemical ... En savoir plus
Large Scale Outdoor Flammable & Toxic Gas Dispersion Modelling in Industrial Environments
HazRes has developed a gas discharge and dispersion model in COMSOL which takes into account the effects of localized wind profiles and turbulence generated by buildings, structures and terrain on the dispersion of gases in question. The main focus of this work is to develop and provide ... En savoir plus
Fluid Flow Simulation of Preconcentration Membranes Using Finite Elements Tools
We use finite elements simulations in order to study the fluid flow behavior in a chamber of a preconcentrator. We realized that most part of the fluid does not affect our preconcentrator because it is going out the chamber at high distance above it and parallel to the preconcentrator. ... En savoir plus
Modeling of Silicon Transport into Germanium Using a Simplified Crystal Growth Technique
A numerical simulation study, using COMSOL Multiphysics®, was carried out to examine the temperature and concentration fields in the dissolution process of silicon into germanium melt. This work utilized a simplified configuration which may be considered to be similar material ... En savoir plus
Thermo-fluid Dynamics Modelling of Hydrogen Absorption and Desorption in a LaNi4.8Al0.2 Hydride Bed
A two-dimensional mathematical model for the absorption and desorption of H2 in LaNi4.8Al0.2 was developed and experimentally validated. The model is composed of an energy balance, a mass balance and a momentum balance. These differential equations are numerically solved by means of the ... En savoir plus
Chemical Reactions in a Microfluidic T-Sensor: Numerical Comparison of 2D and 3D Models
In recent years lab-on-microchip technology has become a powerful tool for micro-scale analysis of biochemical processes. In the studied system the overall process consists of transport, convection, diffusion, reaction and adsorption processes. Two compounds A and B, contained in a ... En savoir plus
3D-Simulation of Action Potential Propagation in a Squid Giant Axon
Study of neurons plays a key role in the fields of basic and medical research aiming at the development of electrically active implants. The Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations are used to model and simulate the spike generation and propagation in a squid giant axon using COMSOL Multiphysics® 3.5a ... En savoir plus
Accuracy Assessment of The Linear Induction Motor Performance using Adaptive FEM
The majority of electrical machines are designed to produce the rotary motion, there by exploiting the blessing of circularity which man has enjoyed since the discovery of the wheel. Electromagnetic forces may also be employed to produce the linear motion resulting in linear motion ... En savoir plus
