Humidity Mass Transfer Analysis in Packed Powder Detergents

F. Zonfrilli[1], V. Guida[1], L. Scelsi[1]
[1]Procter & Gamble Italia, Pomezia, Roma, Italy

Powder detergents containing sodium percarbonate and bleach activators undergo chemical decomposition when exposed to high relative humidity. Controlling the moisture intake in finished product packs is therefore a fundamental need in order to guarantee product stability during the whole ... Read More

Thermo-Mechanical Analysis of Composite Material Exposed to Fire

A. Davidy[1]
[1]IMI, Ramat Hasharon, Israel

This paper presents thermo-mechanical models for predicting the strength of polymer laminates loaded in tension or compression exposed to one-sided radiant heating by fire. The first part is the fire simulation where the FDS model is utilized. The FDS model generates a solution of ... Read More

Thermal Analysis of a Piezo-Disk Ultrasound Probe

L. Spicci[1], M. Cati[1]
[1]Esaote, Firenze, Italy

Ultrasound imaging probes are widely used for several types of diagnosis applications. In the present work we focus our attention on a disk-type probe, which is widely used in CW and PW operating conditions. In particular we present a 2D-axial symmetry FEM for the probe, capable to ... Read More

Multiphysics Modeling of Warm-Air Drying of Potatoes Slices

S. Sandoval Torres[1], A. de Lourdes Allier González[1], L.L. Méndez Lagunas[1]
[1]Instituto Politécnico Nacional, CIIDIR, Oaxaca, Mexico

In this work we solve a model to simulate the drying of potatoes slices. The model considers both the transport of free and vapor water by applying a mechanistic approach. The critical moisture point (CMP) was considered, since it is a transition zone and it represents the point where ... Read More

Multiphysics FEM Simulations Approach for Development of a MEMS Heat Generator

G. S. Masi[1], S. V. De Guido[1], G. Montagna[2], C. Martucci[2], P. M. Congedo[1], L. Vasanelli [1], M. G. Manera[2], R. Rella[2]
[1]Department of Innovation Engineering, University of Salento, Lecce, Italy
[2]CNR-IMM, Lecce, Italy

Introduction: Accurate fluid temperature control in microfluidic channels is a requirement for many lab-on-chip and micro-reactors.Thin films resistive metal heaters have proven to be the best choice for localizing heating applications with integrated microfluidic systems. A thin ... Read More

Calibration of Ultrasonic Testing for Faults Detection in Stone Masonry

M. Usai[1], S. Carcangiu[1], G. Concu[2]
[1]Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy
[2]Department of Civil Engineering, Environmental and Architecture, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy

In the field of assessment methodologies, particular importance is given to Non-Destructive Testing Techniques, which aspire to achieve the highest number of information about materials and structures without altering their condition. Ultrasonic Testing exploits the transmission and ... Read More

Simulation of Piezoelectric Transformers with COMSOL

T. Andersen[1], M. A. E. Andersen[1], O. C. Thomsen[1]
[1]DTU Elektro, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark

In this work COMSOL is utilized to obtain the Mason lumped parameter model for a piezoelectric transformer (PT) design. The Mason lumped parameters are relevant in the design process of power converters. The magnitude of the impedance is simulated for a specific interleaved multilayer ... Read More

Numerical Simulation Study on the Heat and Mass Transfer Through Multi-Layer Textile Assemblies

S.F. Neves[1], J.J.B.L.M. Campos[1], T.S. Mayor[2]
[1]CEFT – Transport Phenomena Research Center, Chemical Engineering Department, Porto University, Porto, Portugal
[2]CeNTI - Centre for Nanotechology and Smart Materials, Rua Fernando Mesquita, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Portugal

A clothing system should offer the user a period of relatively comfort. However, changes in the ambient conditions over day affect the heat and mass transport in the system, influencing the user comfort perception. In order to gather information to allow the optimization of clothing ... Read More
