Approximate, quasi-one-dimensional conduction models have been developed to predict the changing shape of holes, single grooves, or overlapping grooves carved by ablation into a thick solid that is irradiated by a moving laser source. For CW or pulsed laser operation a simple integral method is presented, which predicts shapes and removal rates with an accuracy of a few percent, while requiring one order of magnitude less CPU time than a three-dimensional, numerical solution. For pulsed operation a “full-pulse” model is presented, computing the erosion from an entire pulse in a single step, and reducing computer time by another order of magnitude.

This study aims to develop a simple and quick, but sufficiently accurate solution method for calculating the air flow and tracking the particles in a complex tubular system, where the flow changes its magnitude and direction in a periodic manner. The flow field is assumed to be quasi-two-dimensional and a pressure-correction method is employed to calculate the spetio-temporal variation of the air velocity inside the larynx. Then, the calculated one-dimensional flow distribution is used to reconstruct a two-dimensional flow field is constructed based on the average velocity along the axial direction. The system geometry is taken as close as possible to the actual larynx for an average person with an average glottis opening. For the current study the walls of the larynx is approximated as rigid walls, but different ways to account for compliant walls are proposed within the context of the one-dimensional mode. The 1-D transient model is validated against a two-dimensional model using a verified commercial code. Particles are introduced into the system and tracked during every time fraction of the respiratory cycle. Then, the histograms of particles that come into contact with the larynx are calculated, and regions with a higher probability for particle deposition are identified.

The effect of inverter ripple current on fuel cell stack performance is not well understood. This paper provides a first-order examination of the impact of inverter load dynamics on SOFC fuel cell operation. Previous work using steady-state fuel cell loading has shown that DC-current loading itself results in degradation of the fuel cell, albeit in ways yet to be fully understood. This result suggests that the varying reactant conditions that result from ripple may modify degradation processes, and, therefore, the lifetime of the cells. This paper investigates these conditions through the use of a dynamic one-dimensional model for the detailed mass transport occurring within the electrode of a cell. In this work, the inverter load is imposed as a boundary condition to the transient model. Results show the behavior of the reactant concentrations within the stack electrodes under inverter loads with frequencies between 60 Hz and 1250 Hz. It is concluded that a ripple factor of less than 6% be used to ensure minor impact to the conditions at the electrode-electrolyte interface.
