Metal hydride based thermal energy storage systems belong to the category of heat storage systems which rely on reversible thermo-chemical reactions to store and release heat. Specifically, these systems utilize metal/alloy hydride decomposition (endothermic) and formation (exothermic) ... En savoir plus

In this work, a COMSOL model that predicts velocity and concentration fields inside an X-shaped millichannel (4 mm diameter) is developed. Water and a ink low concentration are injected simultaneously in the two inlets of the device. The mass transfer problem is solved by a Fickian ... En savoir plus

Induction heating (IH) [1] is an electrically driven process useful for decarbonization of the industry. It can be used for electrification of chemical processes to replace traditional heating with gas burner and avoid CO2 emission. This kind of process can be used to heat efficiently ...

Dissolution of calcite plays an important role in various processes such as enhanced oil and gas recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater transport for the drinking water production. Dissolution rates predicted by pore scale and continuum scale models are often faster than the ... En savoir plus

Iodine absorber is a widely used purification equipment for purifying air in a nuclear power plant. In China, the common type is Ⅱ iodine absorber. Impregnated activated carbon is the main absorber within the iodine absorber. Because of the decays exothermic of radioactive iodine, heat ... En savoir plus

Introduction: Electric swing adsorption is a promising technique for energy efficient gas cleaning and adsorbate recovery. Contrary to state of the art temperature swing and pressure swing adsorption, one can control the mass flow independently of the heat flow for desorption in an ... En savoir plus

Electrospray is a well-known encapsulation method for preparing monodisperse nanoparticles from a multitude of different precursors. It has been used to produce inorganic and polymeric nanoparticles and to encapsulate bioactives having poor solubility in water. Electrospraying is a ... En savoir plus

Currently, there is a great interest in the study of gels, especially their transport or release properties. Hydrogels have countless definitions, but generally speaking, they are hydrophilic systems with a three-dimensional structure that tend to swell and hold large amounts of water ... En savoir plus

Investment casting is practised in both the automotive and aerospace industries, to produce casted components where a high-quality surface finish is critical. Vacuum induction melting (VIM) and direct pouring into an investment casting shell mould is an advantageous manufacturing ... En savoir plus
