Numerical Modeling of Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Materials During Drying and Shrinkage
Drying is an essential step in many manufacturing processes, for it will have an important impact on the product quality. This is why many numerical models have been realized over decades, in order to predict the hygrothermal behavior of porous media during the drying process. In this ... En savoir plus
Modeling and Optimization of a Mg-Metal Hydride Rectangular Tank in the Hydriding Process
Hydrogen storage can be considered as a key factor in the development of hydrogen economy. Hydrogen storage in a magnesium hydride MgH2 is a very promising technique for numerous of reasons. Magnesium is abundant, relatively cheap, life – friendly , weight storage capacity of 7.6% ... En savoir plus
Theoretical Simulations of Silicon-On-Nothing (SON) Structures
A novel technique for semiconductor manufacturing is introduced: Silicon-On-Nothing. This process consists of an initial cylindrical trench which has a shape evolution under certain conditions: high temperature (1100 °C), low pressure (10 Torr) and a non-oxidizing atmosphere such as ...

3D Simulation of Air-Glass Heat Exchange in a Set of Vials
In this model a three-dimensional heat transfer analysis was performed by using COMSOL Multiphysics\' Heat Transfer Module. The model is about the heating of a set of vials (Figure 1) in a current of hot air in the laminar regime. We used time dependent studies to predict the thermal ... En savoir plus
Numerical Simulation of Warm-Air Drying of Mexican Softwood (Pinus Pseudostrobus)
In this work, the numerical simulation of Mexican softwood (Pinus pesudostrobus) drying is presented by solving a physics-based model. The model was developed by considering the heat and mass transport and the representative elementary volume, which involves the solid, liquid and gas ... En savoir plus
A Mathematical Tool for Studying Drug Delivery to the Eye in Case of Glaucoma
The aim of the poster is to present a coupled 2D mathematical model to predict the evolution of drug concentration - in the cornea and in the anterior chamber of the eye - when therapeutic lenses are used (Figure 1). The mathematical model takes into account (i) diffusion processes in ... En savoir plus
Using Temperature Signals to Estimate Geometry Parameters in Fractured Geothermal Reservoirs
We compare the output of 2D single fracture models as well as analytical solutions of the problem. The temperature signal is evaluated with the heat transfer mode while the flow field is assumed to exhibit Darcy flow everywhere. The problem is time-dependent so we have to take into ...

Heat and Mass Transfer in Reactive Multilayer Systems (RMS)
Established joining techniques like welding, soldering or brazing typically are characterized by a large amount of heat load of the components. Especially in the case of heat sensitive structures like MEMS this often results in stress induced deformation and degradation or even damaging ... En savoir plus
Comparison of Heat and Mass Transport at the Micro-Scale
Phenomena of heat and mass transfer are often compared, in various porous media applications. Questions of practical interest are, for example, if tracers can be used for the prediction of heat flow, or vice versa if heat can be utilized as, possibly retarded, tracer for predicting the ...

Numerical Simulation of Recovery of Light Oil by Medium Temperature Oxidation in Porous Media
One of the methods to recover oil from medium and low viscosity in complex reservoirs uses air injection leading to oil combustion. In this case the oxygen in the air burns the heavier components of the oil, generating a heat wave leading to vaporization of lighter components. In this ... En savoir plus
