Cogswell Scientific, LLC develops lithium extraction model for Lithios Inc.
Cogswell Scientific, LLC recently completed development of a physics-based model of advanced lithium extraction (ALE) for Lithios Inc. The finite element modeling involved coupling electrochemistry and fluid dynamics in a complex geometry with a large aspect ratio. “This was a tricky physical system to model,” said Daniel Cogswell, “but I’m confident this will be a…
