Over time, rechargeable batteries degrade and eventually stop working. You see some combination of declining capacity, rapid self-discharge, and reduced power. Degradation mode depends on battery design, but also on the application. Often, multiple physical processes contribute to ... En savoir plus

Impact of human activities on the climate is evident, and the recent anthropogenic production and discharge of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is highest in history. The current climate change have had worldwide influence on human and natural systems for example; global warming, ... En savoir plus

Humanity is faced with an imminent energy crisis. The exponential growth of the human population and the consequential increase of the required energy on a global scale, the dramatic climate change and the exhaustibility of natural resources combined, force us to strive towards a ...

The earlier work in our group has established that natural convection plays a dominant role in SLRFB. We used it to run a battery in which interestingly, the contents are agitated for brief spells when no current flows through it. The present work focuses on electrode configurations ...

The solidification of a fluid in a partially-filled circular cylinder is encountered in a number of industrial processes and in the oil and gas sector. The characteristics of the process depends on various fluid and geometrical parameters. In the current study, a fluid with temperature ... En savoir plus

The finite element method was used for simulating the dielectric response of polymer matrix dielectric composites with randomly and evenly distributed fillers. The dielectric simulation of the composite materials was conducted using a time harmonic-electric current solver in the AC/DC ... En savoir plus

Improved performance of aeroengines requires the development of new manufacturing technologies for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). This has been simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics. Specialized simulation technologies have been developed to describe the infiltration of molten material ... En savoir plus

Permanent Magnet Flowmeter (PMFM) is a non invasive device, which is used to measure the flow of electricallyconducting sodium in Fast Breeder Reactor Circuits. PMFM works on the principle of generation of motional EMF by magnetic forces exerted on the charges in a moving conductor. In ... En savoir plus

Sediment transport in shallow water is of concern in many hydro-ecological problems. Erosion or sedimentation processes are not only relevant in perennial systems as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and coastal regions, but also in ephemeral phenomena like gullies, inundations and floods. ...

Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... En savoir plus
