Seco Tools produces inserts for machining metals. Roughly half the number of inserts Seco Tools produces are coated by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) which extends the inserts lifetime in machining operations significantly. More than 10 000 inserts are coated on trays in each CVD run. ... En savoir plus

Existing commercial pyrolysis systems do not have the capability to perform millisecond-scale temporal analysis of pyrolysis vapors that can provide time-resolved experimental data on the reactive and stable gas-phase intermediates predicted by models based on Density Functional Theory ...

The UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor fleet, operated by EDF Energy, utilize a graphite core consisting of a lattice of around 3000 annular bricks. Due to irradiation, oxidation and thermal effects, the bricks deform and loose mass as they age. Of key concern is the late-life behavior of ... En savoir plus

Recently, the advanced plasma tools have been using very high frequency power sources (>100 MHz) and their combination to excite plasma utilized in semiconductor technology. This approach is evoking the regimes that are less understood and currently a subject to many studies and ... En savoir plus

Microalgae can be directly used in health food or as biofilters for waste water treatment. They also have numerous commercial applications in cosmetics, aquaculture and chemical industry as a source of highly valuable molecules, e.g., polyunsaturated fatty acids, and they are ... En savoir plus

The vacuum arc remelting is a refining process used to melt reactive metals like titanium, zirconium or hafnium. Melting is performed under vacuum to avoid reactions between liquid metal and oxygen which could be a source of pollution. This process is particularly well suited to purify ... En savoir plus

Vacuum window is required in the millimeter wave transmission line in ITER*. It is to be designed to minimize the microwave reflection while keeping a robust and safe approach to meet the requirements. We have studied transmission characteristics of various dielectric materials over D ... En savoir plus

高温气冷堆中使用了大量的碳素材料，作为多孔材料，碳素材料含有一定水分等杂质。为了减小反应堆高温运行条件下的堆内材料腐蚀，高温堆在初装堆和事故后需要对一回路进行严格的加热除湿操作。目前一回路加热除湿主要是依靠主氦风机旋转，将动能转换为热能来提升温度。本文将采取另外一种方案，在蒸汽发生器处增加外加热源来加热一回路工质。基于大型商用软件COMSOL Multiphysics建立高温堆内一回路加热的流动传热模型，对两种加热方案的一回路升温过程作数值分析，为高温堆加热除湿方案的选择提供有益的指导。本文中使用的物理场为传热——共轭传热——湍流，多物理场耦合为非等温流动。 En savoir plus

The multiphysics simulation package COMSOL was incorporated into a course in mathematical modeling for chemical engineers. Our implementation for the first year of using COMSOL in the course is described, and assessment results based on examinations and student survey results are ... En savoir plus

Thrombosis is the formation of a thrombus or blood clot within a vessel to maintain the integrity of the circulatory system [1]. The process involves surface interactions, with coagulation leading to the formation of thrombin and a fibrin network, and platelet aggregation [2]. ... En savoir plus
