Degassing of PP Pellets in a Silo: Keeping C9 Concentrations Below the Lower Explosion Limit
When polypropylene (PP) is produced it contains impurities in the form of dissolved gasses. These gasses can be removed by heating the material (in the form of pellets in a silo) and flushing with plenty of fresh air. However, one of the gasses is C9, which is flammable. We built a model ... Read More
Monte Carlo Simulation to Model Natural Variability in Food Drying
Convective drying of fruits and vegetables is a widely used preservation method and serves to reduce food waste, to make them available off-season and to reduce weight-related transport costs. However, the high energy consumption and impact of the process set-up and process settings on ... Read More
Raytracing the Ionization Reference Gauge
In the framework of the EURAMET project 16NRM05, a novel ionization gauge was developed. The goal was to develop a more stable ionization gauge that could be suitable for standardization. The AC/DC Module and the Particle Tracing Module in COMSOL® have been used to design and model the ... Read More
Thermal Plasma Modeling Using COMSOL Equilibrium Discharges Interface
Used for welding, cutting, deposition by projection, for the treatement of waste, or in analysis for ICP torches, for the synthesis of high purity silica or for the manufacture of nanometric powders or nanoparticules, thermal plasmas are fundamental in processing of materials and in ... Read More
Indoor Thermal Analysis of a Storehouse
The aim of this study is to evaluate the airflow thermal distribution inside a storehouse in different operational conditions. A warehouse of 12,600 m3 in volume is considered for fluid-dynamical and thermal analysis. Coupled Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved considering or ... Read More
A Framework for Automated, Data-Driven Digital Twin Generation from Multiphysical Simulation Models
A digital twin is a virtual set of information replicating its physical counterpart at the utmost fidelity. Digital and physical twin benefit from bi-directional data exchange that occurs in real time and over the whole process lifecycle. Until now, experts in the design phase have ... Read More
Two-Scale Modeling Of The WAAM Process: Link Between Thermo-Hydrodynamics And Mechanics
Simulation of arc-wire additive manufacturing is under development in many academic and industrial sectors and at different scales. The study at the melt pool scale is often interesting to study deposition shapes and defects but not very relevant to calculate the stresses and strains at ... Read More
Visualization of a Noise Barrier for Educational Purposes Using a COMSOL App
The COMSOL® app library of the Technical University of Munich is a collection of applications for simulating acoustic phenomena. They are used in the teaching of acoustics to visually represent fundamental vibrational aspects and provide learners with a visual understanding. In the ... Read More
Development of a Special COMSOL® Interface Based on an Alternative Model for Bentonite Re-Saturation
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in most countries worldwide for use in radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydro-mechanically (THM) coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based ... Read More
Using of General Extrusion Operator in Heat Transfer Applications
In this paper, the COMSOL Certified Consultant BE CAE & Test shows as the general extrusion operators can be successfully used to simulate thermal transfers in an industrial rotating furnace. Heat transfer in translating and rotating furnaces is a topic of high interest in several ... Read More
