Studying Bioreactor Landfills to Solve a Growing Trash Problem
How are researchers using heat transfer and chemical reaction simulations to help solve the world’s growing trash problem? Get the details here.
Analyzing the Dissociation Process in a Tubular Reactor
To accurately analyze tubular reactor designs, chemical engineers can model the dissociation process. But is it better to use a isothermal or nonisothermal simulation to do so?
Modeling Fermentation in Beer Brewing Yields a Better Product
Fancy a pint? COMSOL Multiphysics® can be used to study the beer fermentation process, identifying ways to optimize its efficiency and serve up a better-tasting glass of suds.
Protein Adsorption: Batch and Space-Dependent Modeling
We take you step by step through developing a detailed protein adsorption reactor model. We start with a simple, perfectly mixed batch reactor and move onto space-dependent modeling.
Using Simulation in the Race Against Corrosion
A German research institute and a well-known car manufacturer joined forces to investigate the corrosion occurring in automotive rivets and sheet metal. Get the full story.
Sensing the Bio in Biosensor Design with a Simulation App
The Biosensor Design demo app predicts the results from measurements of a biomolecule’s concentration (or activity) from an understanding of this molecule’s attachment to an enzyme.
An Analysis of Syngas Combustion in a Round-Jet Burner
By combining the Reacting Flow interface and the Heat Transfer in Solids interface, we can study the syngas combustion in a round-jet burner. Get details…
