Ohmic heating (Joule heating) is a volumetric heating technology which can effectively process almost any pumpable fluid with extremely high energy efficiency (>95%). This is particularly useful for very thick fluids, those that burn on to hot surfaces and those with high solids content ... En savoir plus

In this paper an attempt has been made to design and analyze integrated circuit interconnects for unshielded four conductors with three levels system using Finite Element Method (FEM). The computational and simulation work has been carried out with help of COMSOL Multiphysics software. ... En savoir plus

Proportional solenoids are well-known and used in a wide range of applications today. This paper is about methods of influencing the characteristic force-stroke-curves of magnetic actuators by means of different pole geometries. The conical design of the stator pole which is mostly used ... En savoir plus

This paper presents an application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software in the study of the temperature distribution of a 5kVA three-phase air-cooled transformer. A 3D, steady state model was utilized on the simulations. The interface with the surrounding air was modeled by Newton's Law of ... En savoir plus

For automotive applications, simulation methods are used to get the best audio acoustic performance. Because a loudspeaker is a non linear device, the sound pressure in the vehicle includes harmonics which are mainly created by the force factor, suspension stiffness and voice coil ...

The optimized design of a waveguide applicator has been proposed for superficial microwave hyperthermia using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a. In microwave hyperthermia cancer treatment body tissue is exposed to high temperatures using external and internal heating devices. Non-Invasive or ... En savoir plus

INTRODUCTION: Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are fabricated with an in-plane fabrication technology. Out-of-plane structures can be designed to be assembled to provide thermal and electrical isolation from the substrate [1 -3]. These isolations can potentially improve the ... En savoir plus

Introduction: Vibration energy harvester can convert mechanical vibration energy into electrical energy and store it in battery for later use. It can create clean renewable energy from vibration movements such as walking, jumping, running, etc. This can convert energy previously wasted ... En savoir plus

The design of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) RF coil using finite element method-based analysis is an essential part of a multi-year research project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, where the goal of the project is to develop a “phantom” ...
