Power Electronic components require cooling to limit junction temperatures to ensure long and reliable operation. Heat sinks are used for cooling the components. In applications which entail operation at altitudes, derating factors are provided by manufact ...
We measure the lasing dynamics of single and coupled photonic crystal nanocavity array lasers fabricated in the indium gallium arsenide phosphide material system. Under short optical excitation, single cavity lasers produce pulses as fast as 11 ps (full wi ...
We present an analytical solution for the induced eddy currents and the corresponding losses generated in the rotor of a slotless permanent magnet (PM) motor. The field excitation is a current layer placed at the stator interior surface. The solution is ba ...
The integration of steam cycles in the power plant industry aims at optimizing the conversion of the available heat into mechanical power. The proposed method uses process integration techniques and a multi-objective optimisation procedure to generate opti ...

Laboratory soil column experiments, often involving steady flow, have a long and enduring history in hydrology and soil science. Typically, analyses of laboratory column data assume that the flow is both steady and uniform within the soil column. However, ...
We present experiments on the magnetic-field-dependent thermal transport in the spin-1/2 ladder system (C5H12N)(2)CuBr4. The thermal conductivity kappa(B) is only weakly affected by the field-induced transitions between the gapless Luttinger-liquid state r ...
In the presented study Gd and the alloy Fe49Rh51 are considered to be possible magnetocaloric materials for a new hyperthermia method. From general principles of thermodynamics a new mathematical model allowing the calculation of heat transport in a tumor ...

In this paper we discuss the application of the certified reduced basis method and the associated software package rbMIT (c) to ``worked problems'' in steady and unsteady conduction. Each worked problem is characterized by an input parameter vector --- mat ...
The main scope of this thesis work is to compare theoretical models with experimental observations on particle transport in particular regimes of plasma operation from the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) located at CRPP–EPFL in Lausanne. We introduc ...
The paper presents a completely analytical solution for the magnetic field, the induced eddy currents and corresponding losses in a toroidal laminated core with a rectangular cross section. The diffusion equation is analytically solved using a separation o ...
