COMSOL Simulation of Solar-Powered Evaporator
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
Project Overview:
I am looking for a professional with strong expertise in COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate a solar-powered water evaporation system. There are two physical setups already built and tested, and I have real experimental data for both.
This will be a step-by-step project, where each stage will be modeled individually. You will receive detailed data and input files after completing each step.
Stage 1 – Basic System:
A simple pyramid-shaped structure with a water basin that is heated via solar radiation. Heat transfer also occurs through the walls and floor of the basin naturally.
Requirements:
Heat Transfer in Fluids (radiation, conduction, natural convection)
Accurate boundary conditions
Comparison with real test data
Stage 2 – Enhanced System (Each sub-feature modeled separately):
1. Controlled Water Input: Constant water feed improves thermal stability and evaporation uniformity.
2. Thermal Storage Material (PCM): Material at the basin floor absorbs heat during the day and releases it later.
3. Fine Droplet Generator (Centralized): A fog-generating unit disperses fine mist in a controlled manner, and airflow helps carry it gently toward the upper region of the structure.
4. Surface Movement Inducer: Gentle surface waves in the basin improve internal heat distribution.
5. Localized Cooling at Top Section: A cooling system at the top improves condensation efficiency.
6. Electric Heating at Basin Floor: An electrically controlled heat source embedded under the water to maintain thermal input.
7. Adjustable Solar Concentrators: Mirrors on the structure’s exterior to focus sunlight on the basin surface.
8. Full Integration: Simulating all features together to analyze cumulative effects.
Your Tasks:
Perform accurate 2D simulations in COMSOL for each stage
Mesh optimization, realistic material properties, and physical conditions
Validate simulation with provided experimental data
Submit structured files and reports per step
All models and content are confidential and cannot be reused
What I Will Provide:
Geometry and system schematics (per stage)
Material properties and input parameters
Real lab data for validation
Environmental and boundary condition data
Confidentiality Notice:
This is a strictly confidential project
Reuse, redistribution, or publication of any content is prohibited
All rights belong exclusively to the client
Required Skills:
Advanced knowledge of COMSOL, multiphysics simulation, heat transfer, and fluid flow modeling. Prior experience with industrial or applied simulation projects is preferred.
