PEM Fuel Cell Modeling Examples

March 3, 2014

What can you study in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell? Mass transport, ohmic losses, temperature distribution, species transport, serpentine flow…should we keep going?

Buoyancy-Driven μPCR for DNA Amplification

February 26, 2014

True crime + simulation: The more DNA in a sample, the easier it is to accurately test and identify biomolecules, cells, and even an entire person during forensic investigations.

Amphos 21: Modeling Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Phenomena

February 18, 2014

A guest blogger from Amphos 21, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, discusses the company’s iCP technology for modeling coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical phenomena.

A General Introduction to Chemical Kinetics, Arrhenius Law

February 13, 2014

Countless complications and pitfalls make chemical simulations challenging. Here, we give an introduction to chemical kinetics and Arrhenius law to help >>

Which Current Distribution Interface Do I Use?

February 10, 2014

See the different current distributions with a wire electrode example to help you choose between the current distribution interfaces in COMSOL Multiphysics® for your electrochemical simulations.

Theory of Current Distribution

February 7, 2014

Here, we discuss one of the building blocks that make up hybrid parallel computing, namely shared memory computing, as well as when and how to use shared memory with COMSOL Multiphysics®.

Research on Microwave Heating and Chemical Applications

November 8, 2013

There were many interesting posters at this year’s COMSOL Conference in Boston. A couple that caught my eye involved microwave heating and chemical applications. One of them showcases the use of microwave irradiation to speed up chemical reactions. Another — one of the recipients of the Best Poster award — used simulations to optimize their microreactor design with respect to microwave propagation.

Simulating the Freeze-Drying Process

August 1, 2013

When thinking about freeze-drying processes, I am reminded of astronaut food like the freeze-dried ice cream I tried as a kid. While this application of freeze-drying is important for preserving food being launched into space, there is also an incredible number of noteworthy applications that are used a little closer to home. Let’s take a look at the freeze-drying process, how it can be simulated, and some of the products and designs that rely on it to function.
