Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising photovoltaic technology but their performance remains limited by incomplete absorption of incident photons, primarily due to reflection at the transparent front electrode [1]. To address this issue, interface engineering with graphene-based ... En savoir plus

Splitting a 3D model into two coupled components can increase performance [1]. Two offshore applications with the AC/DC module and the heat transfer module are presented, but the approach is general. The examples simulate the hotspot temperature in a three core cable with cross-sectional ... En savoir plus

Induction heating (IH) [1] is a good candidate for decarbonization of chemical processes: energy savings, process intensification and production costs reduction [2-5]. Heat can be generated directly into the reactor at the surface in contact with the gas flux passing through a specific ... En savoir plus

Balises are an essential part of pointwise train control systems ensuring the operational safety. Combined with a corresponding onboard unit, it represents an inductive transponder system (Fig. 1). During a crossing, the balise is activated by the 27 MHz magnetic field of the vehicle ... En savoir plus

The aim of this work is to compute the mechanical forces in a 12-pulse converter transformer winding in different short-circuit modes. A 12-pulse converter transformer is a three phase transformer with two secondary windings whose tension have 30° phase displacement and one primary ... En savoir plus

Eddy current thermography (ECT) is a non-destructive contact-free method of defect detection in a conductive material combining the electromagnetic induction of eddy currents and thermal imaging. This technique uses an excitation system consisting of an inductor with coil(s) carrying ... En savoir plus

In this work, a 2.8x0.22 μm^2 silicon strip waveguide (n = 3.43 @4.234 μm) on a silica substrate (n = 1.38 @4.234 μm) and a superstrate with n = 1 was designed and evaluated through 2D (i.e., mode analysis), and 3D (i.e., wave propagation) analysis to strengthen the interaction between ...

The contamination of food products with low water contents is a safety issue that cannot be disregarded. Despite their low water activity, they are indeed susceptible to infection by micro-organisms that are highly resistant to heat. In this case, conventional pasteurisation techniques ...

Quasi-static 2D-MEMS vector scanners are micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) made of monocrystalline silicon. The primary application for these controllable micromirrors is the high dynamic and precise deflection of laser beams, for example in light detection and ranging ... En savoir plus

Increased traffic and load on railway infrastructure require regular inspection of track components. Railway track elements such as fasteners, insulation joints, and weld joints are subjected to extreme loading conditions, making their regular inspection essential for ensuring the safety ...
