Infrared imaging of temperature profiles in microreactors for fast and exothermic reactions

Albert Renken, John Richard Thome, Lioubov Kiwi, Navid Borhani, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid, Julien Haber

Though microreactors provide high heat transfer rates, temperature profiles are formed in case of fast and highly exothermic reactions. A method based on non-intrusive infrared thermometry has been developed to track these profiles quantitatively with a re ...

Hydrogen trapping in delta-Pu: insights from electronic structure calculations

Michael Frederick Francis

Density functional theory calculations have been performed to provide details of the structural and charge-transfer details related to the solid solution of hydrogen in (delta)-plutonium. We follow the Flanagan model that outlines the process by which hydr ...

Increasing the Efficiency of Ligands for FK506-Binding Protein 51 by Conformational Control

Ranganath Gopalakrishnan

The design of efficient ligands remains a key challenge in drug discovery. In the quest for lead-like ligands for the FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51), we designed two new classes of bicyclic sulfonamides to probe the contribution of conformational energy ...

Role of Environment for Catalysis of the DNA Repair Enzyme MutY

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jeremy Samuel Arey, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

Control of the N-glycosylase reaction by the DNA repair enzyme, MutY, entails the organization of solvent molecules. Classical molecular dynamics and QM/MM simulations were used to investigate the solvent and environment effects contributing to catalysis. ...

Fabrication of polymer micro-devices based on organic sacrificial pastes

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Nathalie Sophie Adeline Serra, Olivier Gentsch

We investigate in this work the fabrication of polymer micro-fluidic and micro-mechanical devices based on sublimable compounds as sacrificial layers, using a thick-film screen-printing deposition process. Fabrication of printed polymer microstructures fea ...

The dependence of the proton-triton thermo-nuclear fusion reaction rate on the temperature and total energy content of the high-energy proton distribution function

Duccio Testa, Christian Schlatter

The endothermic nuclear reaction between thermal tritons and high-energy protons can represent an important contribution to the total neutron yield in tokamak plasmas heated by radio-frequency waves, as the first JET experiments have demonstrated (see Mant ...

Modeling of thermo-physical properties for FRP composites under elevated and high temperatures

Thomas Keller, Yu Bai, Till Vallée

A decomposition model for resin in glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) under elevated and high temperature was derived from chemical kinetics. Kinetic parameters were determined by four different methods using thermal gravimetric data at diffe ...

Structural response of liquid-cooled GFRP slabs subjected to fire - Part I: Material and post-fire modeling

Thomas Keller, Craig Tracy

Temperature-dependent material properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites were derived from tests performed on the material itself, from references concerned with similar polymer materials and from observations during full-scale fire experimen ...

Proton-triton nuclear reaction in ICRF heated plasmas in JET

Duccio Testa, Christian Schlatter

Fast protons can react with tritons in an endothermic nuclear reaction which can act as a source of neutrons in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. We have performed an experiment to systematically study this reaction in low tritium concentration (approx ...

Etude physique de l'apparition et du développement de la cavitation sur une aube isolée

Mohamed Faiçal Guennoun

The physical mechanism that governs the incipience and development of leading edge cavitation on hydrofoils is still not fully understood. It involves several parameters such as the pressure level, the nuclei content, the surface roughness and the boundary ...
