Streamer Propagation in a Point-to-Plane Geometry
M. Quast[1] and N.R. Lalic[1]
[1]Gunytronic GmbH, St Valentin, Germany
Corona discharge is used in several applications such as surface treatment of polymers, photocopying or dust removal in air conditioning. Streamer formation is undesirable for most of these applications. Therefore, several studies have been dedicated to investigate the formation and propagation of streamers, which are still not fully understood. The most suitable models to describe streamers are ...

The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) was designed to characterize the physical properties of the lower atmosphere and surface of Titan, the planet-size moon of Saturn. The Relaxation Probe (RP) sensor on the Huygens probe, determined the electrical conductivity in the lower atmosphere of Titan, from 140 km to 40 km. It was suspected that at an altitude above 100km, the booms were ...
Microfluidic Design of Neuron-MOSFET based on ISFET
A. Jain[1], and A. Garg[2]
[1]BITS Pilani, Goa, India
[2]Bhartiya Vidyapeeth College, New Delhi, India
In this paper we suggest a device which combines the operation of a neuron-MOS and an ISFET. An ISFET is an ion-sensitive field effect transistor used to measure ion concentrations in a solution; when the ion concentration changes, the current through the transistor changes accordingly. A voltage between substrate and the oxide surfaces arises due to an ions sheath. It contains a conventional ...
Numerical Investigation of Mass Transfer with Two-Phase Slug Flow in a Capillary
W. Han, and B.H. Dennis
University of Texas, Arlington, TX, USA
The multiphase flow of two immiscible liquids in a microchannel was investigated numerically. A Y-shape micromixer was designed to produce a pattern of slugs from the flowing liquids. The mass transfer characteristics of this flow pattern are of primary interest in this study. A simple neutralization titration reaction was chosen as the basis. The liquid-liquid two phase slug flow was formed ...
Improved Finite Element Modeling of Heat and Mass Transfers in Single Corn Kernels During Drying
A. J. Kovacs, and M. Nemenyi
University of West Hungary
Institute of Biosystems Engineering

GYMS, Hungary
Our Institute at the West Hungarian University is dealing with modelling of heat physical treatments in agricultural (biological) materials. The essential key in order to gain accurate results is to know the driving forces during heat and mass transfers. In case of mass transfer processes the application of moisture gradient as driving force gives false results. Therefore, we use water ...
Simulation Study in Design of Miniaturized MID-Infrared Sensors

Universität Ulm
Ulm, Deutschland
Evanescent-wave optical waveguide is widely used as sensing platform for chemical/biological sensor applications. Our research group contributed to on-chip IR sensor technology and made recent progress in miniaturizing such devices utilizing quantum cascade lasers (QCL) in combination with planar GaAs/Al0.2Ga0.8As waveguides. Furthermore progress is reported toward microfabricated Mid-infrared ...

[1]Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada Unidad Legaria del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico, Distrito Federal, Mexico
We applied the Hot Wire (HW) technique and COMSOL Multiphysics software to study the heat transfer of a homogeneous and isotropic solid material. The HW technique is based on the application of a linear power density modulated by a rectangular pulse of heat, in a specific time period. The power density is applied over the symmetry axis of the sample to produce a radial heat flux and investigate ...
Optimization of Thermal Properties Identification of Complex Thin Films Using MATLAB® and COMSOL Multiphysics

[1]GREMI, UMR7344, CNRS-University of Orleans, Orléans Cedex 2, France
The importance of laser processing and thermal properties investigation of bulk materials and thin layers is still increasing. For thermal properties investigation many experimental systems were developed based on the photothermal effect. One of typical ways is to induce a rapid surface temperature increase is to use a pulsed laser beam, create a simplified model of this interaction, and compare ...

FMR spectra of the periodic microstructures (one-dimensional magnonic crystals, 1D MCs) were obtained using COMSOL with use partial differential equation interface. Results of these calculations were successfully compared with an experimental data for Damon-Eshbach (DE) and Backward-Volume (BV) geometries. The presented tool allows to analyze periodic structures with various geometries and ...
