Aim of the study is to determine the influence of some of the most important operating variables, especially humidity and temperature, of drying air on the performance of cooking process of pork meat. The process is simulated using finite elements software COMSOL Multiphysics®. The ... En savoir plus

The implementation of thermal insulation in old residential building walls could compromise the hygrothermal behavior of the construction, especially in summer time when it is placed inside. A bad installation of insulation could have consequences on the quality of indoor air conditions ... En savoir plus

Fluid flow has the potential to provide significant mechanical energy input for electromagnetic energy harvesters. The effect of a bluff body, such as cylinder played a significant role in the creation of a Karman vortex profile in the fluid flow. We study the effect of the number and ... En savoir plus

The paper presents a student guide on how to implement surface to surface radiation within COMSOL Multiphysics® software for case studies found within the built environment. We included four benchmarks: (1) Radiation in a triangular cavity with infinite length; (2) Radiation between two ... En savoir plus

In this work we report a numerical model of a Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) voltammetry in a finite size domain. Thus, explaining the discrepancy of the diffusion coefficient obtained from the experimental rotating speed, with respect to the literature data. We achieved a very good ... En savoir plus

In the medium term, gas hydrate reservoirs in the subsea sediment are intended as deposits for carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel consumption. This idea is supported by the fact, that CO2 hydrates are more stable than methane hydrates at certain conditions. The potential of producing ... En savoir plus

The paper deals with simulation of rock heating experiment in underground, testing the rock properties for geothermal application. The modeled process is unsteady heat conduction in 3D. We made several parametric studies to find the possible temperature range with uncertainty in some of ... En savoir plus

Reducing HVAC energy consumption in buildings has provoked a lot of thought and has, subsequently, drawn a lot of attention. Out of the several methods that have been introduced to achieve this goal, the usage of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in the structural components is one of the ... En savoir plus

Coal mines in many countries which rely heavily on fossil energy have huge CBM, coal bed methane, reserves. Meanwhile, methane extraction efficiency of low permeability coal seam is very low. It causes seriously waste of low-carbon energy source. For the sake of enhancing the efficiency ... En savoir plus

Metal contaminants and organic pollutants are affecting aquatic environments in urban and industrial zones. Mangrove trees are capable of absorbing metal ions and organic pollutants. To estimate the remediation potential, a two dimensional model of water and substance flow in the soil ... En savoir plus
