COMSOL: Simulation of liquid nitrogen cooling (Help please)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating liquid nitrogen cooling using COMSOL for an InSb sample attached to a cooled copper table. The setup involves parameters like a sample size of 10x10x0.5 mm, a temperature of 300 K, and normal pressure of 1 bar. Key modules utilized include Heat Transfer in Solids, Laminar Flow, and Multiphysics. Challenges arose in calculating heating during cooling, but successful simulations were achieved on a more powerful computer. The conversation highlights the complexities of thermal dynamics in such cooling systems.

TL;DR Summary
Simulation of electron beam heating (SEM) of an InSb sample with nitrogen cooling. It is not possible to calculate the heating during cooling in COMSOL. Maybe I'm using the wrong modules for cooling? Without cooling, the heating counts correctly.
The InSb sample (parameters 10x10x0.5 mm) is glued with silver glue to a cooled copper table. Liquid nitrogen passes through the table. While the model is at a temperature of 300 K and at a normal pressure of 1 bar. The sample is affected by a beam of electrons, which causes the surface to heat up. Modules used in COMSOL:
1. Heat transfer in Solids
2. Laminar Flow
3. Multyphysics (auto)
It is not possible to calculate the heating during cooling. Nitrogen Dynamic Viscosity - 161,4 E-6 (Pa*s)

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 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

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...
