The paper presents a comprehensive review of fundamentals and engineering applications of CO2 flow boiling heat transfer, flow patterns and two-phase pressure drops in macro- and micro-channel evaporators. First, distinctions of macro- and micro-channels a ...
Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) can be used to limit fault currents in both meshed DC and AC grids by transitioning from superconducting to resistive state, in the presence of high currents. While the device is theoretically a great way to p ...
Quench protection is a critical issue for magnet using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials such as REBCO. For cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) with twisted REBCO tapes, which is considered for high-current HTS conductor for fusion magnet, the ...
We consider dynamic random walks where the nearest neighbour jump rates are determined by an underlying supercritical contact process in equilibrium. This has previously been studied by den Hollander and dos Santos (arXiv: 1209.1511). We show the CLT for s ...
In the context of temporary events, the use of structural systems suitable for short-term use, is a key strategy in terms of organization. However, this type of infrastructure currently requires the implementation of significant resources, for which the ch ...

In previous research we have demonstrated a micro thermomechanical pyroelectric generator (mu TMPG) as an alternative to thermoelectric generators to harvest ambient heat energy. In such a device, a thermal mass oscillates between a hot and a cold side by ...
Based on closed packed microspheres produced by internal gelation, the Sphere-pac concept provides a safer and cleaner process and better remote production capability compared to the traditional production of nuclear fuels. Whereas classical reactor fuel r ...
In high energy physics, semiconductor-based sensors are widely used in particle tracking applications. These sensors are typically glued on low-mass cooling substrates, which guarantee the correct thermal management and, at the same time, minimise their in ...
