Compact Heat Exchangers, specifically Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers, are widely used in industry as a replacement for traditionally large heat exchangers (e.g. Shell and Tube) due to their small size and high effectiveness. Modelling of PCHEs, specifically those manufactured by Heatric ... Read More
Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD) is a versatile tool for performing basic operations in Digital Microfluidic Systems. In EWOD, surface tension between a liquid droplet and solid substrate is modulated by applying voltage to an electrode and a hydrophobic surface is transformed into a ... Read More
Reducing HVAC energy consumption in buildings has provoked a lot of thought and has, subsequently, drawn a lot of attention. Out of the several methods that have been introduced to achieve this goal, the usage of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in the structural components is one of the ... Read More
Abstract: Due to the restriction of the number of probes that a patient can tolerate, and the inaccurate information provided by the invasive temperature measurements, which provide information only at discrete points, a mathematical model simulation is more effective to help doctors in ...

In underground mining operations, the mined-out spaces (called stopes) need to be backfilled to maintain the stability of surrounding rock mass and increase the ore recovery. Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a mixture of water, binder, and tailings, has been intensively utilized in ... Read More
INTRODUCTION Our group at ORNL started using COMSOL Multiphysics® software shortly after version 3.0 was released in the Spring of 2004. After 11 years and several releases, the application usage has grown along with number of licenses we are responsible for. This paper will broaden ... Read More
Introduction: Developments intended to improve system efficiency and reliability for water and carbon dioxide separation systems to be used on crewed vehicles combine sub-scale systems testing and multi-physics simulations. This paper describes the development of simulations in COMSOL ... Read More
A frequently occurring geometry for heat exchangers is that of a long tube wound into a helix or spiral around a core volume. There is to be heat exchange between the tube and the gases (or solids) in the core. However, the length scales of these two parts of the geometry are very ... Read More
An external library, M4Dlib [1], has been developed to solve multiphysics problems coupled to solution thermodynamics. This approach extends the local equilibrium concept[2] to multiphysics modeling by incorporating a full Gibbs energy minimization routine at each numerical node to ... Read More
Standing column wells (SCW) are open-loop geoexchange systems used to provide space heating and cooling to buildings. As they use groundwater as heat carrier fluid and modify its thermo-chemical conditions along the year, they may favor calcite dissolution and precipitation, thus ... Read More
