​At intrigon LLC, we understand that without the necessary experimental validation the trust in the model is limited and the model would allow limited dependency in conceiving alternative design and solution. We work with the company development team to design and perform the experiments needed to validate the multi-physics modeling.
Optical Window and Mirror Purging: From Modeling to Design and Validation
Problem statement: Design a debris protection system for the mirror and window, ensuring compliance with constraints on space, mass flow, and optical alignment. Quantify window lifetime based on mass flow and validate predictive models with experimental data.
Solution outline: Develop a debris protection system that meets space, mass flow, and optical alignment requirements. Use simulations to estimate window lifetime as a function of mass flow, and compare results with experimental data to validate the models.
Thermal Vaporization Setup
Problem statement: Accurately measure the evaporation rates of a novel material under specified processing conditions to validate its vapor pressure, considering tooling factors to ensure reliable correlation with theoretical models and deposition behavior.
Solution outline: Set up a controlled desktop system with known apertures, temperatures, and tooling factors. Measure evaporation rates under the specified conditions, and validate results against theoretical models and practical deposition behavior for reliable correlation.
Cryogenic Pulsed Heating
Problem statement: Estimate the undesired evaporation from a cryogenic surface subjected to pulsed heating.
Solution outline: Develop a transient thermal model to capture temperature evolution during heating. Use the Antoine and Knudsen equations to calculate evaporation rates. Assess total mass loss by comparing substrate weight before and after heating across varying pulse repetition rates and spatial configurations.
