In this model, a solution is pumped through a catalytic bed where a solute species reacts as it gets in contact with the catalyst. The model calculates the maximize total reaction rate of the solute for a given total pressure...
A planar transformer is a transformer that is integrated onto a printed circuit board (PCB). They can either be manufactured as standalone devices, or integrated into the PCB of a module. The planar structure improves the cooling...
Laser systems are an important application area in modern electronics. There are several ways to generate a laser beam, but they all have one thing in common: the wavelength is determined by the stimulated emission, which depends on...
This is an introductory tutorial that shows how to model a dipole antenna using the COMSOL RF Module. A dipole antenna is one of the simplest antenna structures, and many radiating structures can be modeled in similar ways to the...
This is an introductory tutorial that shows how to model RF heating using COMSOL. RF heating occurs whenever an electromagnetic wave interacts with matter. Typical areas of interest include modeling of microwave ovens, cell phone...
Furnace reactors are used in the fabrication of semiconductor industry to grow layers on the wafers. These can also be used for epitaxial growth, which is a key technology for fabrication of electrical devices.For the wide band gap...
The rotating machinery application mode makes it possible to model moving rotating parts in for example stirred tanks, mixers and pumps. This model exemplifies this in the Chemical Engineering Module. The application mode takes care...
This model performs a structural analysis of an elbow bracket of steel fixed at one end. The component is part of a support mechanism and is subjected to both mechanical loads and thermal loads. This tutorial model takes you through...
In this model, a frame member with a cutout causing stress concentrations is studied. Concern has arisen that fatigue cracks might occur at the cutout as the service loads are increased. Since the loading is random in nature, it needs...
Designs of circuit boards might have to consider the placements of surface-mount devices, which produce heat. In this model, a heat producing voltage regulator, which reaches temperatures above 70 C is placed close to a surface mounted...
