Sodium is used as a coolant in Fast Breeder Reactors. Eddy Current Flowmeter (ECFM) is used for measurement of sodium flow in the primary pump and at the outlet of the subassemblies. Eddy Current Flowmeter (ECFM) works on the principle of change in the magnetic field profile due to ... 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

Large centrifugal compressors, which are commonly applied in the oil and gas and in the process industry, may fail due to vibrations of the impeller. These vibrations are induced by pressure pulsations in a compressor stage. These vibrations can be especially strong in so-called dense ... En savoir plus

Transdermal drug delivery is an emerging mechanism for continuous systematic solutions in medical healthcare problem. Transdermal drug delivery has significant advantages when compared to conventional methods such as oral administration or intramuscular injection. Most of the ... En savoir plus

This work is focused on the development of a physical-mathematical model capable of predicting the temperature and water content fields within a pasta sample which is exposed to a stream of drying air flowing under turbulent conditions. Therefore, the equations concerning the transfer of ... En savoir plus

Studying the properties of nuclei produced in various types of nuclear reactions at accelerator facilities is challenged by small production yields and short half-lives of isotopes of interest, therefore making high efficiency and fast timing essential parameters of the experimental ...

With the ReactorSTM the relationship between surface structure and catalyst activity under industrially relevant conditions can be investigated. It enables atomic-scale observations of model catalysts under conditions approaching those used by the chemical industry. It consists of a ... En savoir plus

Macroscopic modeling of fluid flow and thermal diffusion, in a porous medium, requires the description of equivalent properties (permeability, conductivity and diffusivity). However, depending on the microstructure topology of the porous medium and the fluid flow regime at the ... En savoir plus

This work is focused on Micropump optimization for drug delivery application. Diabetes is one of the widely pervaded diseases. Among the side effects of hyperglycemia is the weakness of the whole body, so the patient will be unable to inject manually the drug. Therefore, Micropumps are ... En savoir plus
