In this project, we attempted to determine the drug concentration in a breast cancer tumor after a drug has been delivered. We created a COMSOL Multiphysics® finite element model. We investigated the relationship between drug delivery efficiency and parameters such as diffusivity, ... Read More

Drying Model of Two-Particle System Solution Considering Capillary Pressure

Kanji INOKO[1]

[1]Toyota Technical Development Corporation, Toyota, Aichi, Japan

The performance of Li-ion battery is known to be dependent on the thickness direction distribution of binder volume fraction. The distribution is determined by drying process of electrode ink, which contains large active material and small binder. With the aim of predicting binder ... Read More

Numerical Simulation for Landfill Stabilization Process considering Degradation of Organic Chemical Compounds in Waste

Hiroyuki ISHIMORI[1]
[1]Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan

This presentation describes the numerical simulation model where gas/liquid two-phase porous media flow equations are coupled to multicomponent gas-phase transport and water-phase transport equations in COMSOL Multiphysics. This is done in order to predict the landfill stabilization ... Read More

Modeling Charge/Discharge Heat Generation of Li-ion Cells and Experimental Verification of Temperature Distribution

Tatsuya YAMAUE[1]
[1] Kobelco Research Institute, Inc., Kobe, Hyogo, Japan

Modeling the heat generation and the heat transfer of the electrode of lithium-ion battery are introduced. There are several models, such as an homogeneous heating model and a model considering the current and reaction distribution of electrode. Generally, electrodes have large area and ... Read More

Optimal Design of Flow Distributors for Detecting Blocked Microreactors

Osamu TONOMURA[1]
[1]Kyoto University, Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan

When the production capacity of micro chemical plants is increased by numbering-up approach, it is important to realize the uniform flow distribution among the parallelized microreactors. In addition, a blocked microreactor needs to be identified as early as possible to achieve the ... Read More

Analysis on Reaction Mechanism and Kinetics of CVD using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Yudai SUZUKI[1]

[1]The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is widely used in various fields including the fabrication of electronic devices due to its uniform film formation capability on the large-scale wafers and the minute 3D structures. In CVD, precursors (metal compounds) are commonly reacted in gas-phase as ... Read More
