Modeling PCB Based Inductive Position Sensors with the COMSOL® AC/DC Module
The growing adoption of electric vehicles has led to increased exposure of cars to stray magnetic fields. To address this issue, inductive position sensors have emerged as a viable solution due to their inherent immunity to stray magnetic fields. Widespread adoption of the inductive ... Read More
Combustion Resistance of Fine Metal Parts
The presence of oxygen in metal installations can influence their flammability, which leads to frequent combustion ignitions. Various studies have been done to characterize this ignition, in order to classify metals according to their degree of flammability, and to minimize the risk of ... Read More
Modeling of a Vapor Chamber Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
High power consumption chips have already become a major challenge for modern processors causing low thermal performances. Existing thermal solutions are not able to solve these high temperature issues efficiently. Two-phase cooling devices such as heat pipes and vapor chambers have ... Read More
Simulating Condensate Layers on Thermal Bridges in Train Walls
Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Heat Transfer Module, we calculated coupled heat and moisture transport to simulate the amount and distribution of condensed moisture in a train wall, with a special focus on the surface of thermal bridges. We tested two approaches to ... Read More
Complete Design of a High Power Ultrasonic Flow-Cell Reactor with Special Air Cooling System
Ultrasonic flow-cell reactors are used for many industrial applications, where fluid substrate is sonicated in a small region, where very high ultrasonic acoustic power is present. The electromechanical transducer (converter) that drive the sonotrode inside the flow-cell is designed in ... Read More
Simulation of the Arc Motion in Low-Voltage Surge Protection Devices
Nowadays, surge protection devices are widely used in electrical grids to suppress over voltages during transient conditions caused by voltage surges and to prevent damages of industrial or household devices. The working principle is based on the initiation of an arc with a burning ... Read More
Copper Corrosion Mechanisms by Simulation and Experiment Using Small Test Structures
Product lifetime prediction is a crucial task in microelectronics design and fabrication. Understanding of the underlying processes causing material degradation and product failure is essential for establishing accurate lifetime models. This work aims to investigate and model the ... Read More
Methanation in Catalytic Reactor
Power-to-gas is an important area of research for reducing greenhouse gases and seasonal energy storage. Methane, with a Lower Heating Value of 50 MJ/kg, is already a commonly used gas, and its synthesis using green hydrogen production (electrolysis of renewable energy) is a remarkable ... Read More
Modeling the Indoor Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Botanical Biofiltration
Historically, indoor air quality (IAQ) has received less attention than outdoors, although people spend >90% of their time in the indoor environment. A major group of indoor air pollutants is volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are detrimental to human health even at low ... Read More
Modelling of Custom-Made Photocatalytic Wind Tunnel for Air Purification by Solar Photocatalysis
Heterogeneous photocatalysis an advanced oxidation process (AOP) which in combination with a catalyst and UV irradiation completely mineralizes organic pollutants from water or gases into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photocatalysis as a process is ... Read More
