A theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini, micro and ultra micro-channels of different internal shapes is presented in this thesis. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy ...
Numerous characteristic trends and effects have been observed in published studies on two-phase micro-channel boiling heat transfer. While macro-scale flow boiling heat transfer may be decomposed into nucleate and convective boiling contributions, at the m ...

The first cool-down of the EDIPO (European DIPOle) test facility is foreseen to take place in 2011 by means of the existing 1.2 kW cryoplant at EPFL-CRPP Villigen. In this work, the thermo-hydraulic analysis of the EDIPO cool-down is performed in order bot ...
We investigate the propagation of temperature perturbations in an array of coupled nonlinear oscillators at finite temperature. We evaluate the response function at equilibrium and show how the memory effects affect the diffusion properties. A comparison w ...

Long needle-shaped single crystals of Zn1-xCoxO were grown at low temperatures using a molten salt solvent technique, up to x=0.10. The conduction process at low temperatures is determined to be Mott variable range hopping. Both pristine and cobalt-doped c ...
In this paper we consider (hierarchical, Lagrange) reduced basis approximation and a posteriori error estimation for linear functional outputs of affinely parametrized elliptic coercive partial differential equations. The essential ingredients are (primal- ...
In the turbomachines field, friction losses are intensively studied due to their important influence in the overall efficiency of the machine. The parameter helping in quantifying these friction losses is the wall shear-stress. Its role is essential for th ...
The turbine components of a gas turbine need extensive cooling to withstand the high heat loads generated by the flow of the hot combustion gases. The leading edge of a turbine blade is one of the areas that faces the hottest gas flow conditions and is thu ...
In the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme, the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas, CRPP, Villigen, develop a 70 kA current lead to demonstrate the feasibility of the usage of High Temperature Sup ...
