In our dynamic energy landscape, it is increasingly important to utilize energy efficiently and minimize waste. To achieve this, advancing our research beyond traditional battery storage, which has numerous limitations, is crucial. One promising solution is compressed gas energy storage. ... En savoir plus
While prosthetic joints can improve people’s quality of life, there is an unmet need for the treatment of post-surgery infections. A novel technology has been developed that can treat these infections with electromagnetic heating. A series of anatomical models of knees with implants ... En savoir plus
Toxic and hazardous air pollutants are released during chemical processes. The surrounding area of a chemical facility always has a high risk of air pollution by released chemicals. Furthermore, the personnel of the facility as well as community residents have risks of sudden ... En savoir plus
Large arrays, typically consisting of thousands of devices, made from thin film PZT MEMS technology are increasingly being used in several applications including industrial inkjet printers, adaptive optics and so on. Thin film PZT is attractive because of lower operating voltages and ... En savoir plus
Closed loop geothermal systems (CLGS) are continuous energy systems that rely on the earth’s constant temperature deep beneath the surface. Pipes, filled with liquid, are drilled down deep into the earth and heated by hot rocks as they run horizontally underground. The heat from the ... En savoir plus
A fully-parameterized 3D model of thermoelectric generator (TEG)-based energy harvesters is built. With the use of a coupled CFD and heat transfer FEM simulation, the temperature field within the complete system (heat source, TEG, cooler, ambient air) is computed. Especially the ... En savoir plus
Food sterilization is a thermal industrial process used to give products in airtight food packaging shelf life, stability and safety from a microbiological point of view. The term sterilization mainly includes treatments at high temperatures (greater than 100 °C), even in pressurized ... En savoir plus
The pore water pressure in the vadose zone is controlled by the interaction between the soil and the atmosphere through evaporation and infiltration. These processes are strongly influenced by the soil's hydraulic conductivity and water retention properties (Guida et al., 2023). In this ... En savoir plus
During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... En savoir plus
In power electronics applications, microelectronic chips face swift temperature changes during operation, characterized by heat pulses of sub-millisecond duration with temperatures rising by hundreds of Kelvin. Over time, these conditions may lead to degradation in the metallization ... En savoir plus
