This work is concerned with a numerical simulation of the thermal behaviour of an electrolysis cell for the production of the aluminium. Aluminium is produced by an electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in a bath of molten cryolite. In this reduction ...
Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of the turbulent compressible ow within heated curved ducts of square cross section are presented. The aim here is to predict the three- dimensional structures which develop inside cooling channels of rocket engines and study t ...
Supercrit. fluids (SCFs) were intensively studied in the last decade as alternative, environment-friendly benign reaction solvents. A new anal. technique was derived from a combination of classical heat flow reaction calorimetry and the supercrit. fluid te ...
We propose a general approach for the numerical approximation of optimal control problems governed by a linear advection–diffusion equation, based on a stabilization method applied to the Lagrangian functional, rather than stabilizing the state and adjoint ...
Micro or mini heat spreaders are used in the interest of providing higher cooling capability for microtechnologies. Heat spreaders using micro or mini channels are not yet well studied, for this the fundamentals of two-phase heat transfer in microchannels ...
This work is dedicated to research on the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process. The problem has been intensively investigated by many research groups. A number of physical phenomena observed in SLS are studied. There is, however, no comprehensive unders ...
A one-dimensional free surface problem is considered. It consists in Burgers' equation with an additional diffusion term on a moving interval. The well-posedness of the problem is investigated and existence and uniqueness results are obtained locally in ti ...
Chem. shift anisotropy (CSA) tensor parameters have been detd. for the protonated carbons of the purine bases in an RNA kissing complex in soln. by extending the model-independent approach [Fushman, D., Cowburn, D. (1998) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, 7109-7110]. ...
The manipulation of living biological cells in microfluidic channels by a combination of negative dielectrophoretic barriers and pressure-driven flows is widely employed in lab-on-a-chip systems. However, electric fields in conducting media induce Joule he ...
The paper deals with long range outdoor sound propagation predictions under range dependant complex environment using the parabolic equation approach (PE). New developments allowing to work beyond the classical limits of the PE method are presented: the re ...
