A Modeling Approach for Simulating Geothermal Energy Utilization by Borehole Heat Exchangers and Borehole Heat Exchanger Arrays
Decarbonization of the heating sector requires the exploitation of climate-neutral energy sources and the use of natural heat storage. Shallow and deep geothermal energy can make a valuable contribution to this. The dimensioning and design of geothermal boreholes and larger borehole heat ... Read More
A Multiphysics Approach Towards a Sustainable Future: SC Cables for Next-Generation Fusion Reactors
In recent years, the optimization of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) has shown promising potential for developing advanced cable layouts aimed at the realization of practical fusion reactors. Despite their excellent performance in terms of electromagnetic and mechanical stability, ... Read More
A Multiscale Approach to Simulate Vacuum Drying of a Packed Bed of Spray-Frozen Particles
Preservation of biopharmaceuticals by spray freeze-drying is of great interest as it involves gentle drying and can be easily integrated with continuous manufacturing strategies. The drying of packed beds have been extensively studied experimentally, but a detailed mathematical model of ... Read More
Acoustic Propagation Model in 3D of Dolphin Echolocation Formation Inside Head Tissues
Introduction The echolocation signals of dolphins consist of forward-projected sound pulses that reflect off objects and are used to probe underwater surroundings. Despite rigorous studies of dolphin echolocation, there remain questions about how echolocation sounds are produced and ... Read More
Acoustic-Mechanic Modeling of Polydimethylsiloxane in the MHz Regime for Metamaterials Applications
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a biocompatible material widely used in biomedical applications such as implantable sensors. A realistic modeling of PDMS in acoustic-mechanic simulation is useful especially for medical applications which use ultrasonic waves as interrogation source. ... Read More
Add-In ‘GoalSeeker’ – Advanced Parameter Optimization in Single and Combined Models
Simulations usually depend on a variety of parameters like geometric dimensions, process parameters, loads, or material properties. Typically, some of these parameters are fixed whereas others may be varied to obtain a special result. In many cases a simple sweep can be used to examine ... Read More
Advancements in Acoustic Topology Optimization
The design of products in the audio industry is to a large extent done via a combination of prior knowledge and trial-and-error. Such an approach will sometimes be seen described as an ‘optimization’ of said products, but we will here focus on the formal mathematical approach of ... Read More
An Analysis of the Synchronous Transport Phenomena Involved in Pasta Drying Process
This work is focused on the development of a physical-mathematical model capable of predicting the temperature and water content fields within a pasta sample which is exposed to a stream of drying air flowing under turbulent conditions. Therefore, the equations concerning the transfer of ... Read More
Analysis and Comparison of Modeling Approaches for Heat Pipes
A novel injection molding tool temperature control system based on heat pipes is being researched at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSBI). This temperature control technology offers great potential for improving product quality and saving energy in the production ... Read More
Analysis of Contact Stiffness in Hammer to Anvil Collision for Pyroshock Purposes
When dealing with space and aerospace equipment, their ability to withstand the strong excitations produced during the launch must be tested by the manufacturers according to international standards requirements. In fact, structural subsystems of the rockets are commonly released by ... Read More
