The storage of CO2 in the sub-surface is seen as a technology that can contribute to the generally accepted goal of a de-carbonized society. As real field experiments are hardly feasible, many current studies utilize the capabilities of numerical modelling. Concerning the practical ... En savoir plus

CO2 capture and storage constitutes a promising solution to control and reduce these emissions. Wellbore integrity is a key challenge to ensure long term safety and for public acceptance. For this objective, a two-phase flow model in porous media based on Darcy’s law has been proposed to ... En savoir plus

Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) systems are key components for expanding the renewables share in the energy scheme as they offer the dispatchability and flexibility. Therefore, thermal behaviour of such systems is of interest. STES can influence the surroundings causing a ... En savoir plus

Renewable energies generate temporary mismatches between energy demand and supply. The conversion of surplus energy to hydrogen and its storage in geological formations is one option to balance this energy gap. Storage in deep saline aquifers is the most cost-effective option for ... En savoir plus

Geologic carbon storage that involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a subsurface sequestration site provides the vital approach for reducing CO2 emissions into atmosphere and thus addressing climate change issue. One challenge associated with CO2 geologic storage is that pore ... En savoir plus

Solar energy storage has been an extensive research topic among the several thermal energy applications over the past three decades. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems in general, improve the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between ... 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

The most common cause of lithium ion battery failure is high temperature. Improper thermal management strategies can contribute to the temperature related premature battery failure. Excessive heat significantly impacts the performance, safety and cycle lifetime of the lithium ion ... En savoir plus

This work concerns the performance of an oxidation catalyst used in a NOx storage and reduction system. The oxidation of NO is the main objective of this study, where the presence of CO and propene has also been taken into account. Experimental data has been determined on a monolithic ...
