Multiphysics Studies for the Micromegas Detector

E. Karentzos [1], T. Alexopoulos [2],
[1] National Technical University of Athens, CERN, Switzerland
[2] National Technical University of Athens, Greece

We present studies of the electric field configuration that guides the electrons to the strips through the mesh and its importance to the detector’s optimal operation. Furthermore, analysis of the gas propagation inside the chamber for different gas distribution schemes is discussed. All ... Read More

Toroidal Spring Coil: Displacements & Stress Analysis to Detect the Sealing Parameters

V. Riccardi [1],
[1] Cesare Bonetti, Garbagnate Milanese, Italy

The aim of the simulation is to study the behavior of a particular arrangement of a sealing system made of a Toroidal Spring Coil encapsulated in an thin casing, which is provided with a circumpherential cut to permit the pressure fill it inside. The mechanical simulation implemented ... Read More

Determination of Electric Potential Distribution and Cell Resistance of a Uranium Electrorefining Cell

Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam 603 102, Tamil Nadu, India

Electrorefining is an electrolytic process for obtaining high purity metal. In this process the impure metal is made anode and the high purity metal is deposited on cathode. Electrorefining is a key step in pyrochemical reprocessing of spent fuel from metal fuel fast reactors. ... Read More

Numerical Optimization of Heating for High-Speed Rotating Cup by Means of Multiphysics Modeling and its Experimental Verification new

K. Kyrgyzbaev[1], M. Willert-Porada[1], M. Terock[1]
[1]University of Bayreuth, Chair of Materials Processing, Bayreuth, Germany

The physics of rotating cups and disks is an important research subject in many areas of engineering. The rotating cup/disk has been employed in many industrial applications such as spin-coating of phosphor on television screens or photoresist films on silicon wafer, concentrating ... Read More

3D Dynamic Linear Electromagnetic Actuator Modeling and Simulation

O. Craciun[1]
[1]ABB AG, Ladenburg, Germany

Single coil actuators are representing one important component of ABB’s medium voltage reclosers. Their performance is strongly influenced by the considered material properties as well as by the electronic control units’ properties that will power the actuator. Therefore, this paper ... Read More

Investigation of a Hybrid Winding Concept for Toroidal Inductors Using 3D Finite Element Modeling

H. Schneider[1], T. Andersen[1], J. D. Mønster[1], M. P. Madsen[1], A. Knott[1], M. A. E. Andersen[1]
[1]Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark

This paper investigates a hybrid winding concept for a toroidal inductor by simulating the winding resistance as a function of frequency. The problem of predicting the resistance of a non-uniform and complex winding shape is solved using 3D Finite Element Modeling. A prototype is built ... Read More

Simulation of Nanopores in Capacitive Energy Extraction Based on Double Layer Expansion (CDLE)

E. Ruiz-Reina [1], F. Carrique [2], A.V. Delgado [3], M.M. Fernández [3],
[1] Department of Applied Physics II, University of Málaga, Málaga, Spain
[2] Department of Applied Physics I, University of Málaga, Málaga, Spain
[3] Department of Applied Physics, University of Granada, Granada, Spain

Capacitive energy extraction based on double layer expansion (CDLE) is a new method devised for extracting energy from the exchange of fresh and salty water in porous electrodes. First suggested by D. Brogioli, it is enclosed in a group of emergent technologies jointly known as Capmix ... Read More

Electron Trajectories in Scanning Field-Emission Microscopy

H. Cabrera [1],
[1] Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland

The Scanning Field Emission Microscopy (SFEM) is a novel technology similar to the better known Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). In STM, electrons are exchanged between the outermost atom of a sharp tip and the outermost atom of a target over sub-nanometer distances by means of the ... Read More

Multiphysics Analysis of Electromagnetic Flow Valve

J. S. Crompton [1], K. Koppenhoefer [1], S. Yushanov [1],
[1] AltaSim Technologies, Columbus, OH, USA

Solenoid valves control fluid flow by using the passage of an electric current to produce a magnetic field that controls the displacement of a pre-tensioned plunger. As the electric current increases, the induced force causes the plunger to move upward against the force exerted by a ... Read More

Modeled Electroformed MEMS Variable Capacitors for Cobalt Iron Alloy Magnetostriction Measurements

E. Langlois [1], P. Finnegan [1], J. Pillars [1], T. Monson [1], C. J. Pearce [1], C. St. Johns [1], M. Ballance [1]
[1] Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Electroplated CoFe alloys demonstrating Joule magnetostriction (i.e., a large change in material shape induced by an applied magnetic field) have been recently developed for the creation of microfabricated magnetoelastic resonators for tagging applications. This development requires a ... Read More
