The dependency of electrochemical processes performances on mass transfer is well-known. Electrolyte flow in the vicinity of electrodes surface can enhance reactions due to increased mass transfer. This flow can be generated by the production of a gaseous phase, leading to a natural ... 詳細を見る

The crystal growth industry uses high temperature processes. To improve production efficiency, a good knowledge of thermal effects is necessary. We show in this article a methodology to get reliable data by mixing simplified models, sensitivity studies and parameters adjustments. The ... 詳細を見る

In the following study COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to simulate evaporation of water droplets in a stream of heated air. This was a precursor to the modeling of a humidifier, which is used to humidify the air supplied to fuel cell stack. Since the percentage of water droplets was ... 詳細を見る

Study of interaction of drops and bubbles with electric field is important for understanding the physics involved in various physical phenomenas and industrial processes. Important applications arise in colloidal systems (Miller and Scriven, 1970), meteorology and cloud physics (Sartor, ... 詳細を見る

Delayed Coking is a refining process, which takes heavy petroleum residue as a feed. A 2D axisymmetric stationary model was created to simulate this pre-run condition with nitrogen gas, as an attempt to calibrate the model before simulating with an oil residue. The single-phase laminar ... 詳細を見る

In optogenetics research it is highly desirable to have a method that can deliver light and excite individual neurons in the brain in a controllable and single cell manner. Working toward this goal, we are developing liquid microlenses with active electronics that enable both focusing ... 詳細を見る

Electric, magnetic and electromagnetic (em) methods are widely used to monitor active volcanoes. A review of such applications is presented in Johnston (cit). Em signals were recorded in correspondence of numerous volcanic eruptions, for example in the case of the Mt. Unzen in Giapppone, ... 詳細を見る

In-situ electrical heating technologies are among the most recent technologies used for bitumen recovery from tar sand and oil shale. These technologies have limited environmental impact because there is little disturbance of the land, and water and solvents are not used. Two-phase ... 詳細を見る

Introduction Droplet-based microfluidics is a large source of research for scientists of new biotechnologies, aerosols or other 2D-Microfluidics devices. Here, we will focus on an industrial application of a 3D microfluidic device : the PH2DG, Pneumo-HydroDynamic Droplet Generator. The ... 詳細を見る
