Building an App to Optimize the Design of an SOFC Stack
A guest blogger from resolvent ApS discusses creating a user-friendly simulation app to efficiently analyze a solid oxide fuel cell stack.
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.
Li-Ion Battery: Heterogeneous Alternative to the Newman Model
When analyzing lithium-ion battery designs, is it better to use the Newman model or a detailed, heterogeneous geometric model? Find out in this comprehensive blog post…
The Boundary Element Method Simplifies Corrosion Simulation
The boundary element method can be used when simulating corrosion to avoid needing a finite element mesh to resolve the whole 3D structure, saving time for large problems with slender components.
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.
Does the Current Flow Backwards Inside a Battery?
What happens inside a battery? Does the current flow from negative to positive electric potential? Here, we explain the potential profile inside a battery during discharge and recharge.
