Design, computational and experimental investigation of a small-scale turbopump for organic Rankine cycle systems

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Sajjad Zakeralhoseini

The hydraulic design, computational analysis, and experimental investigations of a high-speed small-scale turbopump for mobile waste heat recovery applications based on organic Rankine cycle systems are presented in this paper. Such applications demand hig ...

DeepValve: Development and experimental testing of a Reinforcement Learning control framework for occupant-centric heating in offices

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

Space heating controls in offices usually follow static schedules detached from actual occupancy, which results in energy waste by unnecessarily heating vacant offices. The uniqueness of stochastic occupancy profile and thermal response time of each office ...

Microgravity induces overconfidence in perceptual decision-making

Leyla Loued-Khenissi, Davide Scaramuzza, Christian Pfeiffer

Does gravity affect decision-making? This question comes into sharp focus as plans for interplanetary human space missions solidify. In the framework of Bayesian brain theories, gravity encapsulates a strong prior, anchoring agents to a reference frame via ...

High power mm-wave loss measurements of ITER ex-vessel waveguide components at the FALCON test facility at the Swiss Plasma Center

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Avelino Mas Sanchez, Anastasia Xydou, Humberto Torreblanca Quiroz

Many future fusion devices will rely heavily, if not solely, on electron cyclotron (EC) heating subsystems to provide bulk heating, instability control (neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilization), and thermal instability control. Efficient use of the i ...

Attaining the PeV frontier of the cosmic ray spectrum in space with HERD

Chiara Perrina

The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection facility (HERD) is a calorimetric experiment planned to be launched in 2027. It will be operational for at least 10 years on board the China Space Station. With HERD we will measure the energy flux of cosmic proto ...

Implicit Distance Functions: Learning and Applications in Robotics

Mikhail Koptev

In this thesis, we address the complex issue of collision avoidance in the joint space of robots. Avoiding collisions with both the robot's own body parts and obstacles in the environment is a critical constraint in motion planning and is crucial for ensur ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Asteroid orbital solution: Properties and assessment

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. We report the exploitation of a sample of Solar System observations based on data from the third Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR3) of nearly 157 000 asteroids. It extends the epoch astrometric solution over the time coverage planned for the Gaia DR4, w ...

Aerodynamic Particle Sizer spectrometer (APS) aerosol number concentrations, measured in the Swiss container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Ivo Fabio Beck, Lubna Dada

This dataset contains particle number size distributions between 1.06-16.1 μm (aerodynamic diameter) and total concentration averaged to 1 min time resolution, measured with a commercial Aerodynamic Particle Sizer spectrometer (APS model 3321, TSI Incorpor ...

Potential scientific synergies in weak lensing studies between the CSST and Euclid space probes

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Jean-Luc Starck

Aims. With the next generation of large surveys poised to join the ranks of observational cosmology in the near future, it is important to explore their potential synergies and to maximize their scientific outcomes. In this study, we aim to investigate the ...

Damping of flexure blades based on bi-material additive manufacturing

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Elias Sebastian Klauser, Florent Alexandre Boudoire, Nikola Kalentics, Nicolas Blondiaux, Lisa Salamin

Flexure-based mechanisms have become state-of-the-art solutions for the design of high-precision mechanisms, free from friction wear, backlash, and lubrication. These properties which are necessary for applications in ultraclean or harsh environments, neve ...
