Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) use graphite electrodes to strike an arc to melt scrap steel, recycling it for further use. These graphite electrodes oxidize and are consumed over time. To maintain operation new electrodes are attached to others via a joint of complex geometry and fed ... En savoir plus

In recent years the thermal behavior of electric machines is an attractive research topic. Due to the complexity of the problem, several approaches that exploit FEM analysis have been developed and presented in literature. In this research a 3D thermo-fluid dynamic simulation of an ...

The problem under investigation is electrical scale-up of a generic metallurgical process for primary metal production through resistive heating of slag by electric current, typically supplied by an AC three-phase system. Maxwell’s equations are analyzed revealing that the properties of ... En savoir plus

A new microwave cavity for the regeneration of DPF regeneration was proposed and COMSOL Multiphysics® FEM model was used to investigate heating properties of the Silicon Carbide (SiC) based DPF. Electric field profile and thermal profile of the microwave cavity and DPF was established ... En savoir plus

A pulsed Eddy Current (EC) probe, using the transient response to a stepped voltage is being developed for in-reactor inspection of CANDU® fuel channels. Pulsed EC has the advantage of generating a spectrum of discrete frequencies, allowing the simultaneous collection of data from a ... 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

The growing demand for efficient transmission (1), including refurbishing of existing lines, requires technological advances beyond the actual methodologies, basically electric parameters and electromagnetic fields estimation. Some analytical models developed at CEPEL (2, 3) provide ... En savoir plus

This paper deals with the simulation and analysis of SAR and temperature distribution induced by a Planar Inverted-F Antenna on human head model using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The goal of this paper is to compare the SAR and temperature distributions of omni-directional PIFA with ... En savoir plus

Power cable manufacturing is limited by the maximum length of cable that can be produced and stored on cable drums. This creates a need or rather an opportunity for a cable accessory, namely 'Cable Joints'. Joints are an impeccable component in the power cable network that necessitate ... En savoir plus
