Miniature Precision Components, Inc., Walworth, Wisconsin, optimized the design of a new hydrocarbon trap by simulating it with EFD.Lab, a design-oriented flow simulation software package. Mark Van de Bogert, Product Design Manager for Miniature Precision Components, evaluated the performance of 12 different design alternatives in order to minimize backpressure across the trap while achieving the required level of hydrocarbon absorption. "EFD.Lab makes it easy and inexpensive for design engineers to perform computational fluid dynamics simulations that in the past would have required the service of analysts with advanced degrees and software packages that lease for tens of thousands of dollars per year," Van de Bogert said.
