Building an App to Optimize the Design of an SOFC Stack

August 23, 2016

A guest blogger from resolvent ApS discusses creating a user-friendly simulation app to efficiently analyze a solid oxide fuel cell stack.

Analyzing the Dissociation Process in a Tubular Reactor

May 17, 2016

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?

Modeling Fermentation in Beer Brewing Yields a Better Product

April 25, 2016

Fancy a pint? COMSOL Multiphysics® can be used to study the beer fermentation process, identifying ways to optimize its efficiency and serve up a better-tasting glass of suds.

Li-Ion Battery: Heterogeneous Alternative to the Newman Model

April 13, 2016

When analyzing lithium-ion battery designs, is it better to use the Newman model or a detailed, heterogeneous geometric model? Find out in this comprehensive blog post…

The Boundary Element Method Simplifies Corrosion Simulation

February 17, 2016

The boundary element method can be used when simulating corrosion to avoid needing a finite element mesh to resolve the whole 3D structure, saving time for large problems with slender components.

Protein Adsorption: Batch and Space-Dependent Modeling

January 19, 2016

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

December 28, 2015

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.

Does the Current Flow Backwards Inside a Battery?

November 25, 2015

What happens inside a battery? Does the current flow from negative to positive electric potential? Here, we explain the potential profile inside a battery during discharge and recharge.
