Dear friend, I am pleased to share with you my keynote speech at COMSOL Conference 2014 (University of Cambridge, UK).
Watch this video to see how multiphysics simulation was used to help reduce the energy consumption of electric ovens by 15% – close to the 20% target. Through transient simulation of heat and mass transfer, parameters such as the emissivity of the oven door glass, dimensions and materials of the oven walls, and heating element design are being optimized, which results in a better product that saves both energy and money.
