Heat Transfer Modeling and Analysis of a Rotary Regenerative Air Pre-heater
An attempt has been made to sustain the efficiency of an air pre-heater(APH) in the long run. The APH is modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics in 3D and fed with real life conditions. Upon Heat transfer analysis, the temperature profile was found out and from that, the regions undergoing ... Read More
Simulation of Fast Response Thermocouple for the Nuclear Reactor Core
Thermocouples have been used for measurement of temperature ever since the discovery of Seebeck effect. Though the voltage output of a thermocouple is a function of the temperature difference between hot and cold junctions, the response time and the magnitude of voltage depends on the ... Read More
Solution of Inverse Thermal Problem for Assessment of Thermal Parameters of Engineered H2 Storage Materials
Materials based H2 storage systems for light duty vehicles need to meet challenging performance targets that have been developed by the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership. On-board reversible metal hydrides are typically integrated with heat transfer surfaces, e.g. in fin and tube heat ... Read More
Modeling a Cooling Skylight
Air-conditioning produced by traditional vapor compression cycle is an energy demanding operation. By using passive cooling methods is it possible to avoid, or at least reduce, the need for vapor compression cooling. A passive radiative cooling method could be a three windowed skylight, ...

Study of Gas Dynamics in the Heat-accumulation Stoves
The paper aims to clarify some aspects of the gases hydro-dynamics within the twisted conduct of heat accumulation stoves (ceramic-refractory stoves) downstream the combustion chamber. Both Comsol laminar and k-e turbulent models have been used in case of straight and curved pipes with ... Read More
Heat Transfer Model for Embedded Thermocouple in Firefighter Glove
The Integration of contact heat measurement with intelligent fire fighter gloves assumes parametric simulations with the heat transfer module of COMSOL. A thermocouple is embedded into high temperature protective layers of the glove and measures contact heat. This is done by by pressing ... Read More
Thermo-Fluidic Impulse Response and TOF Analysis of a Pulsed Hot Wire
In this work the authors report on a CFD simulation of a pipe flow model. Fluid mechanics are here combined with heat transfer phenomena. To create a mathematical model of a pulsed hot wire system i.e., the thermo-fluidic impulse response of a pulsed hot wire, a simulation model is going ... Read More
3D FEM-analysis of a Micromachined Wind Sensor Based on a Self-heated Thermistor Array
We present COMSOL-based analyses and design optimizations of a micromachined wind sensor. The sensor relies on eight germanium thermistors embedded in a thin silicon nitride membrane, where two orthogonally arranged ensembles, each consisting of four thermistors, are connected to form a ...

Numerical Modelling of Compact High Temperature Heat Exchanger
For the numeric investigations of the high temperature compact heat exchanger two numeric models with and without the regards of the velocity field development were used. The results of the comparison of the numeric and experimental data confirm the necessity of regarding the velocity ... Read More
Homogeneous Heating of Milk
When milk is taken out of a refrigerator it has to be heated up to 37°C. The standard solution is to put the bottle in a bath of warm water and wait. The goal is quickly to achive a uniform temperature of 37°C, without ever exceeding 40°C. Using COMSOL Multiphysics and a measurement ... Read More
