This study presents a novel microfluidic chip integrated with biosensors and capillary microfluidics, specifically designed for target screening and precise fluid control. The capillary pumps facilitate spontaneous fluid delivery to the sensors, eliminating the necessity for external ... En savoir plus

Working on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic flowmeters measure flowrate on the basis of the electric potential induced when a magnetic flux interacts with flowing water. The electromagnetic coils of the flowmeter are crucial to its operation, given that the ... En savoir plus

In the context of numerical simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics, the implementation of digital twin models for continuous monitoring represents one of the most promising frontiers for improving diagnostics, efficiency and process control in complex systems. In particular, digital twins ... En savoir plus

During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... En savoir plus

Large underground mines (LUMs), which constitute over 60% of metal and nonmetal mining operations in the United States, are critical to national infrastructure and materials supply (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023; Gendrue et al., 2021). These mines are characterized by vast entries exceeding ... En savoir plus

Modern composite membranes for reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) have an ultrathin polyamide active layer (~100 nm) that performs the ion separation. Current theoretical models explain solute and water fluxes by computing concentration and potential gradients developed in one ... En savoir plus

Geothermal energy systems require precise sizing to ensure efficiency and sustainability, particularly for probe fields and groundwater doublets. We present two specialized applications developed using COMSOL Multiphysics’ Application Builder, leveraging the Heat Transfer and Groundwater ... En savoir plus

Ultrasonic levitation is a novel technology for contactless handing of various objects. It is already used in various manufacturing processes where it is important to keep untouched surface. In this paper we introduce a model of so-called near-field ultrasonic levitation which allows ... En savoir plus

Micro electrical discharge machining (MEDM), a scaled down version of EDM process, is a micro machining process used to fabricate micro holes and intricate shapes in electrically conductive materials irrespective of its hardness. In this process, an electric spark is generated in the gap ... En savoir plus
