A tapered cylindrical microwave resonant cavity, a frustum, also commonly known as an EM Drive, has been reported to produce thrust by the generation of EM radiation within a resonant cavity without using any propellants. In order to determine how a sealed microwave cavity can produce ... En savoir plus

To increase the power transfer capacity of existing lines, a transmission system operator in Germany plans to replace an existing 380-kV three-phase AC system into a bipolar HVDC system on the same tower that is called a 'hybrid line'. Due to the proximity of AC transmission systems and ... En savoir plus

Localized convection heat and mass transfer can be intensified and optimized by providing exposure to electromagnetic energy. Conjugate heat and mass transfer are configured by solving the momentum, heat and mass transfer simultaneously in both solid (substrate, comprising of a two-phase ... En savoir plus

We have developed Thor: a pulsed power accelerator for performing dynamic material experiments. The design was aided by using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the AC/DC Module and RF Module. Our design process involved optimizing the impedance of the system while maintaining a good ... En savoir plus

Metamaterials and metasurfaces are emerging technologies in the field of nanophotonics. They can enable the engineering of arbitrary optical response based on their nano structure. The desired effective optical response is quantified by amplitude and phase of the light reflected and ... En savoir plus

EDF Energy use an Eddy Current Inspection Tool (ECIT) to test the properties of graphite bricks in the cores of UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs). The tool comprises a coil containing an alternating current which generates a magnetic field, inducing eddy currents within the nearby ... En savoir plus

New methods of generating high-frequency magnetic fields of tens or even hundreds of millitesla at frequencies exceeding 2 MHz are allowing important new applications for induction heating. These include heating low conductivity ionic solutions in situations where electric or ... En savoir plus

Localized Joule heating within integrated circuit (IC) chips is the leading cause of non-uniform temperature distribution within the circuit structure of the chips. Such variation in temperature enhances the biased diffusion of metal atoms along current carrying interconnects, a ... En savoir plus
