Investigation of Transport Phenomena in Nanochannels and its Applications in Energy Conversion using COMSOL Multiphysics

Chih-Chang Chang[1]
[1]Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Chutung, Hsinchu, Taiwan

Well‐designed and controlled nanochannels are ideal physical modeling systems to study fluidics in a precise manner. Electrokinetics refers to transport phenomena related to the non‐electroneutral EDL, which is created to neutralize the surface charges produced on surface. Surface ... Read More

The Electrical Impedance Image Reconstruction Using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS

Kuo-Sheng Cheng[1]
[1]Department of Biomedical Engineering, Institute of Oral Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan

Electrical impedance tomography is a non-invasive, low-cost medical imaging technique that can be used long term without radiation hazards. We built a model of the torso, and then used COMSOL Multiphysics® to simulate applied current patterns, compute voltages, and find equi-potential ... Read More

COMSOL in electrochemical applications

Shuo-Jen Lee [1]
[1]College of Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan, Taiwan

Microstructures such as holes, grooves, microchannels, and surface texture are essential geometric profiles for micro-components. Burs can cause interference, affect the positioning of processing, and influence the quality and surface appearance of the structure. Electrochemical ... Read More

Temperature Compensated AIN Based SAW Simulation using COMSOL

Andrew B. Randles[1]
Julius M. Tsai[1]
Piotr Kropelnicki[1]
Hong Cai[1]

[1]Institute of Microelectronics, Agency of Science, Technology, and Research, Singapore, Singapore

We have modeled surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices composed of piezoelectric materials: aluminum nitride (AlN), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), and quartz. These materials are often used in RF filters and wireless sensors, which require temperature compensation for stability. Using our COMSOL ... Read More
