Analyze a Vacuum Dryer’s Speed with Multiphysics Modeling
Vacuum drying is often used to dry heat-sensitive materials such as food and pharmaceuticals. Here, we showcase a model that simulates the vacuum drying of a wet cake.
Model Methane HCCI Combustion to Optimize Engine Ignition Control
Environmental demands have sparked an interest in finding an alternative to traditional spark- and compression-ignition engines. One of the suggested alternatives is HCCI engines.
New Reacting Flow Multiphysics Interface Delivers Greater Flexibility
Get an introduction to the Reacting Flow interface, which can be used to simulate fluid flow and reactions in gases and liquids in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
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?
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.
