[1] Haute École du paysage, d'ingénierie et d'architecture, Genève, Switzerland
[2] California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA

A thermal model to predict the heat generation during the charge and discharge of a battery pack is an essential tool to manage the thermal behavior, performance and life of the batteries. In this work, a battery cell is modeled in COMSOL Multiphysics® using the Batteries and Fuel Cells ... Read More

Cooling and Hardening during Injection Molding of Field Joint Coatings for Deep Sea Pipelines

L. Van Lokeren [1], R. Verhelle [1], S. Loulidi [1], H. Boyd [2], G. Ridolfi [2], G. Van Assche [1]
[1] Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium
[2] Heerema Marine Contractors, Leiden, The Netherlands

A multilayer polymer coating is applied to carbon steel pipelines installed in the sea to protect against corrosion and to insulate to maintain the temperature. For field joint coatings, both thermosets (like polyurethane) and semi-crystalline thermoplastics (like polypropylene) are ... Read More

Natural Convection around Horizontal Cylinders subjected to Non-uniform Heating

I. Khan [1],
[1] University of Central Lancashire, Preston, United Kingdom

A two-dimensional steady model of the natural convection around a cylinder is solved numerically using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The cylinder receives non-uniform heat from a radiating panel, which is assumed to be sufficiently far away so that the flow around the panel does not ... Read More

Modeling of Non-isothermal Reacting Flow in Fluidized Bed Reactors

V. Orava [1], O. Souček [2], P. Cendula [1]
[1] Institute of Computational Physics, ZHAW, Winterthur, Switzerland
[2] Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic

We investigate a prototype concept of a back-up electricity device where we use liquid formic acid (FA) to produce a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) which is used in a PEM fuel cell, Fig. 1. In the fluidized bed reactor the liquid FA is decomposed to a gaseous mixture ... Read More

Numerical Characterization of Magnetostrictive Response of GalFeNol Samples for Energy Harvesting

G. Canciello [1], A. Cavallo [1], C. D'Avino [2], D. Tornese [2], C. Visone [3]
[1] Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale e dell’Informazione, Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli, Caserta CE, Italy
[2] Teoresi Group S.p.A, Torino, Italy
[3] Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Università del Sannio, Benevento BN, Italy

GalFeNol is a new Giant Magnetostrictive Material that can be used in energy harvesting especially in vibration reduction applications, thanks to the Joule and Villari effects. A 3D-model of GalFeNol rod is stressed by a time varying longitudinal force of 1000 N. The study has been ... Read More

Computer Simulation of Microwave Heating of Initially Frozen Sandwiches Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder

D. Fu [1], L. Wang [2], J. Liao [1], S. Dus [1], K. Bearson [1],
[1] Tyson Foods, Downers Grove, IL, USA
[2] Simulprocess, Summerfield, NC, USA

Customers typically prepare sandwiches using a microwave oven to heat a frozen sandwich. This causes huge temperature variations and quality issues due to multicomponent with different dielectric and physical properties and with phase changes at different freezing points in the heating ...

FEM Convergence for PDEs with Point Sources in 2-D and 3-D

M. Gobbert [1], K. M. Kalayeh [2], J. S. Graf [1],
[1] Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA
[2] Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA

Numerical theory provides the basis for quantification of the accuracy and reliability of a FEM solution by error estimates on the FEM error vs. the mesh spacing of the FEM mesh. This paper presents techniques needed in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to perform computational studies for ... Read More

Single-Phase Modeling in Microchannel with Piranha Pin Fin

X. Yu [1], C. Woodcock [1], Y. Peles [2], J. Plawsky [1],
[1] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA
[2] University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA

Microchannel has shown potential to dissipate high heat flux in past years [1][2]. At the same time, liquid cooling attracts more and more attention from researchers for its favorable thermal properties and ability to cool down hot and keep acceptable system temperature [3][4][5]. This ... Read More

Simulation of the Cooling and Phase Change of a Melt-Cast Explosive

W. Sanhye [1], C. Dubois [1], P. Pelletier [2], I. Laroche [2],
[1] Department of Chemical Engineering, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada
[2] General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems-Canada Inc., Repentigny, QC, Canada

Introduction Numerical modeling of melt-casting is becoming a popular tool for the energetic materials and explosives industry. Compared to traditional metal casting, the cooling cycle for explosive melts is significantly longer because of their high Prandtl numbers [1]. Improving the ... Read More

Design of Solar Thermal Dryers for 24-hour Food Drying Processes

F. S. Alleyne [1], R. R. Milczarek [1],
[1] Healthy Processed Foods Research Unit, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Albany, CA, USA

Solar drying is a ubiquitous method that has been adopted for many years as a food preservation method. Most of the published articles in the literature provide insight on the performance of solar dryers in service but little information on the dryer construction material selection ... Read More
