AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling the thermal effects of laser irradiation on a three-layered human skin structure using Comsol. The user, Sophia, is experiencing issues with the temperature of the epidermis not changing as expected after laser exposure. She seeks advice on whether to continue using the General Heat Transfer Module or consider a different module for better results. Additionally, she is interested in analyzing how varying laser wavelengths affect temperature changes and creating a corresponding plot. The conversation highlights the need for effective modeling techniques in thermal simulations related to skin and laser interactions.

Hello everybody,

I am a newbie in Comsol and I would like your help regarding a problem I have.

I am modeling the 3-layered human skin (epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue) and I would like to know how the temperature of each layer is affected after laser irradiation on the top layer (epidermis). Until now, I have been using the General Heat Transfer Module but the problem I seem to stumble upon is that the temperature of the top layer isn't changing. Also, I would like to monitor the temperature change when the laser wavelength changes and form a plot of some kind. So finally my question is, should I use a different module or am I in the right path and should investigate more the current one.

Thanks in advance,
Sophia

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
