Microheaters used for gas sensing applications have been studied analytically and experimentally. Previously reported microheaters at COMSOL® conferences have shed light on microheaters’ thermal properties, optimized geometries and power consumption—all based on steady-state analysis. In ...

The field of Biomedical Engineering is expanding at an exponential rate. As we began to unravel clues about our complex biological vessels, we uncovered more questions than answers. Our collective curiosity has led biomedical engineering into a broadening field by study of physiological ... En savoir plus

It has already been demonstrated that fluid models can be used to simulate two-dimensional axisymmetric inductively coupled plasma via implementation in the COMSOL (multi-physics simulation software) platform. In this study, we improved the model and simulated a large scale magnetized ... En savoir plus

This paper presents a successful step towards the development of a “web-based laboratory” for teaching basic, and even advanced, electromagnetic concepts. The main idea is to develop a reusable model for the student to be used exactly as a hardware experiment in a physical laboratory, ... En savoir plus

The majority of electrical machines are designed to produce the rotary motion, there by exploiting the blessing of circularity which man has enjoyed since the discovery of the wheel. Electromagnetic forces may also be employed to produce the linear motion resulting in linear motion ... En savoir plus

Industrial microwave ovens are widely used in agri-food and chemical applications. Resonant cavities are used to speed up chemical reactions and have the advantage to be small sized and efficient in terms of microwave distribution. These multimode cavities are considered as batch ovens ... En savoir plus

Because of its high enthalpy of combustion, aluminum has been added to energetic materials. In this paper, a two dimension thermal model is developed and assessed to describe the interrelated processes of Aluminum particle oxidation by using the software COMSOL Multiphysics. The thermal ...

High power Lower-Hybrid RF waves injected at in a Tokamak plasma can strongly modify the edge plasma. This is caused by ponderomotive forces pushing charged particles in an inhomogeneous oscillating electromagnetic field towards weaker field areas. On the Alcator C-Mod Tokamak, edge ...

Microwave imaging has been recently proposed as a potentially useful screening technique for breast cancer. This method detects abnormalities in the tissue based on permittivity difference between breast normal and malignant tissue. In this method breast is illuminated by high frequency ... En savoir plus

The classical optimization method has been applied to many design problems for electromagnetic systems. One of its major difficulties is related to meshing problems arising from shape modifications. In order to circumvent these kinds of technical difficulties with moving mesh problems, ... En savoir plus
