Spring-Loaded Centrifugal Governor
A centrifugal governor is used to control the speed of rotating machinery. One of the most common applications is in controlling the RPM of an engine by regulating the fuel supply. This model illustrates the functioning of a spring loaded centrifugal governor. The dynamics of the ... Read More
Optical Smart Radiator Device (SRD) for Solar Applications
The "Smart Radiator Device," a multilayer structure, has the capability to control thermal emissivity at different temperatures. This multilayer structure is lightweight thus finds its application in spacecraft mission. The thermochromic vanadium oxide (VO2) material is the heart of ... Read More
Steam Reformer Geometry
In this tutorial you will learn how to use selections when creating the parametric geometry for the analysis of a steam reformer, and set up the selections needed for the physics definitions. The multiphysics analysis of the steam reformer is described in the model Steam Reformer found ... Read More
Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe
This tutorial utilizes the Particle Beam feature to examine the performance of a high-precision spectrometer. An ion beam is subjected to electric and magnetic forces, and only a fraction of the incoming beam is transmitted to the detector. The Particle Counter feature is used to compute ... Read More
Anisotropic Hygroscopic Porous Medium
This example compares moisture transport within two types of anisotropic porous medium. The first component defines a layered structure. The structure alternates between layers with high and low moisture diffusivity. So the moisture spreads more easily along the layers than transversely. ... Read More
Split and Recombine Mixer Benchmark
This example models a split-and-recombine mixer channel in which a tracer fluid is introduced and mixed by multilamination. Diffusion is removed from the model using an extremely low diffusion coefficient so that any numerical diffusion can be studied in the lamination interfaces. The ... Read More
Evanescent Mode Cylindrical Cavity Filter
An evanescent-mode cavity filter is resonant at a frequency lower than its original fundamental mode frequency. Evanescent mode resonance can be realized by creating a discontinuity or reactance inside the cavity. The basic model was modified by the addition of a metal box at either end ... Read More
Temperature Field in a Cooling Flange
A cooling flange in a chemical process is used to cool the process fluid, which flows through the flange. The surrounding air cools the flange via natural convection. In the stationary model, the forced convection to the process fluid is modeled using a constant heat transfer ... Read More
Geometric Parameter Optimization of a Tuning Fork
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from SolidWorks via the LiveLink interface. The length of the fork is then optimized so that the tuning fork sounds the note A, 440 Hz. Read More
Electrocoating of a Car Door
This example models electrocoating of paint onto a car door in a time-dependent simulation. The deposited paint is highly resistive which results in lowered local deposition rates for coated areas. A primary current distribution in combination with a film resistance model is used to ... Read More
