Providing heat pumps for the retrofit of fuel based boilers in residential heating, is a short or medium term challenge and a major opportunity for a substantial reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. While effective solutions for improved high temperature ...
The project addresses the problem of chemical and mechanical stability of dense ceramic oxygen separation membrane for the partial oxidation (POX) of methane to synthesis gas. In operating conditions, the membranes are exposed to strong thermal and composi ...
A heat transfer assembly for transferring heat from a heat generating device (5) to a circulating fluid, said heat transfer assembly comprising - an evaporator device (3) having at least one microchannel (1) formed therein, in thermally conductive contact ...
In the ITER design, CuCrZr has been selected as the heat sink material for components of the first wall and the divertor. The objective of this work is to check the material fatigue performance when the CuCrZr alloy is cyclically deformed concurrently with ...
An overview is given of the wide range of activities contained within recent R&D being performed within Europe on In-vessel materials for structural, heat sink and plasma facing purposes for ITER. The effect of creep-fatigue interaction on the fatigue life ...
The devlopment of domestic heat pump systems is mainly based on the use of volumetric oil lubricated compressors. Following the implementation of economizer based rotary compressors, which represented a major improvement step, one major opportunity to impr ...
A new model for predicting the thermal and electrical performance of solid- oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cogeneration devices for residential buildings has been developed. This is a system-level model that considers the thermodynamic performance of all component ...
Five subsize NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations were fabricated and their DC performance was tested in the SULTAN facility. A comparison of the measured strand data and the cable performances clearly indicates that the current carr ...
Using pulsed near infrared laser radiation for selective laser sintering bears several advantages compared to cw sintering such as low required average power, less residual heat and improved lateral precision. By adapting the pulse length (and thus the hea ...
