Enzyme Kinetics, Michaelis-Menten Mechanism
For the 100-year anniversary of the Michaelis–Menten mechanism, we honor the trailblazing publication the best way we know how — with simulation.
PEM Fuel Cell Modeling Examples
What can you study in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell? Mass transport, ohmic losses, temperature distribution, species transport, serpentine flow…should we keep going?
Buoyancy-Driven μPCR for DNA Amplification
True crime + simulation: The more DNA in a sample, the easier it is to accurately test and identify biomolecules, cells, and even an entire person during forensic investigations.
Amphos 21: Modeling Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Phenomena
A guest blogger from Amphos 21, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, discusses the company’s iCP technology for modeling coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical phenomena.
A General Introduction to Chemical Kinetics, Arrhenius Law
Countless complications and pitfalls make chemical simulations challenging. Here, we give an introduction to chemical kinetics and Arrhenius law to help >>
Which Current Distribution Interface Do I Use?
See the different current distributions with a wire electrode example to help you choose between the current distribution interfaces in COMSOL Multiphysics® for your electrochemical simulations.
Theory of Current Distribution
Here, we discuss one of the building blocks that make up hybrid parallel computing, namely shared memory computing, as well as when and how to use shared memory with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Research on Microwave Heating and Chemical Applications
There were many interesting posters at this year’s COMSOL Conference in Boston. A couple that caught my eye involved microwave heating and chemical applications. One of them showcases the use of microwave irradiation to speed up chemical reactions. Another — one of the recipients of the Best Poster award — used simulations to optimize their microreactor design with respect to microwave propagation.
