Example Models

Boat Reactor for Low Pressure Chemical Vapor DepositionBoat Reactor for Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an important step in the process of manufacturing microchips. One of the common applications is the deposition of silicon on wafers at low pressure. Low pressure reactors are used to get a high...

Drug Release from a Biomaterial MatrixDrug Release from a Biomaterial Matrix

In this example, drug-release from a biomaterial matrix to damaged cell tissue is modelled. Specifically, a nerve guide delivers a regenerating drug to damaged nerve ends. The model involves detailed drug release kinetics, with rate...

A 3D Model of a Diesel Particulate FilterA 3D Model of a Diesel Particulate Filter

Several factors influence a diesel particulate filter’s (DPF) efficiency and durability. Important issues include the removal of soot particles from the filter membranes and the influence of thermal stress on the ceramic structure,...

Chemical Vapor Deposition of GaAsChemical Vapor Deposition of GaAs

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) allows a thin film to be grown on a substrate through molecules and molecular fragments adsorbing and reacting on a surface. This example illustrates the modeling of such a CVD reactor where...

Hydrocarbon Dehalogenation in a Tortuous MicroreactorHydrocarbon Dehalogenation in a Tortuous Microreactor

Removing halogen groups from hydrocarbons is an important reaction step in several chemical processes. One application is water purification. Other examples involve organic synthesis, where the removal of halogen groups serves as a...

Polymerization in a Multijet Tubular ReactorPolymerization in a Multijet Tubular Reactor

This example considers condensation polymerization in a tubular reactor, where mixing in the reactor is achieved by impinging turbulent jets of reactants onto each other. Turbulent flows involving rapid reaction kinetics are quite...
