Fat-Washing Cocktails on an Industrial Scale

February 2, 2017

Bacon-flavored vodka? Pecan-infused bourbon? The fat-washing process extracts the flavors from fat and dissolves it into alcohol, and it can even be scaled up to an industrial level.

Finding the Best Coal Arrangement for Even Heat in a Grill

January 25, 2017

Pizza on the grill? It’s actually quite delicious. Here, we use heat transfer modeling to determine how the grill’s coals should be arranged for even heating.

Why Doesn’t the Ice Cream in a Baked Alaska Melt?

November 18, 2016

The ice cream in a baked Alaska stays frozen, even when placed in a hot oven. How is this possible? We investigate this mysterious dessert with heat transfer simulation.

Studying the Migration of Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons in Food Packaging

November 17, 2016

Food packaging can contain hazardous mineral oils. To analyze the migration patterns of mineral oil hydrocarbons for various food packaging scenarios, German researchers used COMSOL Multiphysics®.

Numerical modeling apps can be used to accelerate the optimization of induction heating processes for food processing applications.

Making a Recipe for the Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg with Simulation

March 31, 2016

In a physics course at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e), students investigate the science behind cooking the perfect soft-boiled egg using simulation and real-world experimentation.

Model How the Bubbles in a Glass of Stout Beer Sink, Not Rise

March 17, 2016

Ever notice how the bubbles in certain kinds of stout beer sink to the bottom of the glass instead of rising to the top? We explain this phenomenon using fluid flow simulation.
