A thermo-physical 3D model of a commercial Li-ion battery was developed and validated. Visualization of the temperature distributions inside a Li-ion cell during cell stacking processes were simulated. Critical temperature levels depend on position, duration and intensity of the thermal ... En savoir plus

Microfluidics is the science of manipulating and controlling fluids at the micron scale. Although, fluid flow in standard geometries can be determined easily by analytical methods, a more rigorous computational model is required for custom geometries. Achira’s microfluidics cartridge has ... En savoir plus

We have modeled surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices composed of piezoelectric materials: aluminum nitride (AlN), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), and quartz. These materials are often used in RF filters and wireless sensors, which require temperature compensation for stability. Using our COMSOL ... En savoir plus

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a growing issue in cars due to the increase in electrification of vehicles. Simulations can be useful for predicting issues at an early stage in the development cycle. This includes investigating EM stray fields that various components generate and ... En savoir plus

Recent developments (1) in thermal metamaterials that enhance the response of thermoelectric generators (TEG) have revived the interest in TEG research. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software offers the unique opportunity to model TEGs with various cooling systems (air, water, etc) and ... En savoir plus

Piezoresistive pressure sensors have received much attention over the years because of low cost, simple measurement techniques, etc. There is a challenge in design with respect to appropriate positioning, shape and temperature compensation. Different models of piezoresistive pressure ... En savoir plus

Pipeline inspection tools present some limitations related to power supply which require recharging after each operation. Using batteries or tethered tools make the duration to inspect any pipeline very limited and time consuming. This paper aims at designing a spherical self-recharging ... En savoir plus

At present, a great deal of research effort has been directed to find eco-friendly and renewable sources of energy. With the rising costs of crude oil and petroleum, along with the derogatory effects that they pose to the environment, this sort of approach is of utmost importance. This ... En savoir plus

Introduction: This work presents the design of a novel flow cell based miniaturized electrochemical respirometer to monitor organic content in water samples semi-continuously, in contrast to current Biochemical Oxygen Demand, BOD, methods. Simulation techniques has been used to ... En savoir plus

A device for monitoring the oxygen consumption of cells has been developed, which consists of two parts; a cell culturing platform (CCP) and an oxygen sensing chip. The CCP possesses inlet and outlet pipes to direct the fluid under the test to the cell culturing chamber through the inlet ... En savoir plus
