We show a new, favourable space-saving method to host a neutron polarizer in the iron-containing monochromator shielding of a time-of-flight spectrometer for cold neutrons. In this poster you can learn e.g., how to create a robust, homogeneous, rectangular magnetic field (here realized ... En savoir plus

Vacuum distillation furnaces (VDFs) are employed for purification and consolidation of heavy metals from their dendritic forms which are entrained with molten salts. The VDF is an induction heated furnace which is operated at a temperature of 700-1400 °C and at a pressure of 0.01-600 ... En savoir plus

High-power couplers working at 350 MHz for particle accelerator cavities are presently under development in the LEHIPA project at BARC. It is important to analyze RF losses on conducting surfaces and resulting thermal profiles. COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to study these coupled RF ... En savoir plus

Metamaterial [1, 2] is an artificially structured material where it’s electrical (ϵ), magnetic (μ) and its refraction properties (n) are simultaneously negative in narrow frequency band. Currently, metamaterials are being widely used in microwave and radio frequencies as devices [3, 4] ... En savoir plus

Noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) tissue heating is frequently used for skin tightening and facial wrinkle reduction as alternative to invasive surgical procedures. However, to ensure a safe and efficient therapy, the temperature of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue must be controlled ... En savoir plus

The optimisation of dimensions, materials choice of heaters in annealing furnaces are done with COMSOL Multiphysics® in 2D-axisymetry. Heat losses sources are identified and corrective actions can be taken in function of simulation results. A power saving of more than 50% is achieved ... En savoir plus

In this paper, we simulated the heating of a work piece by coupling two heat sources. Concentrated solar energy was applied at the bottom of the work piece, which generated a heat flux from the parabolic solar dish concentrator. Subsequently, induction heating was applied, which ... En savoir plus

Ohmic 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 which would ... En savoir plus

Oil production industry investigates new methods to improve oil extraction from natural rocks. Since long time the dedicated simulation software has been used to better understand the behaviour and predict the production from oil reservoirs depending on the developed technologies. Modern ...

Plasmonic resonances arising in gold nanoparticles lead to strongly localized near-field enhancements. These enhancements generate strong field gradients that can be exploited in particle trapping. On the other hand plasmonic resonances lead to enhanced absorption and heat generation. ... En savoir plus
