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
