Two-Phase Heat Transfer Mechanisms within Plate Heat Exchangers
Plate heat exchangers are adopted in many domestic and industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, evaporation or condensation process, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. In the present thesis, an extensive expe ...

Elsevier Science Sa2016Structure and pressure-induced ferroelectric phase transition in antiphase domain boundaries of strontium titanate from first principles
Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Alexander Kvasov
In this work, using zero kelvin ab initio calculations, we revisit the structure and ferroelectric phase transition in antiphase domain boundaries (APBs) in SrTiO3 (STO), which has been previously addressed in terms of a phenomenological approach. We confi ...
Amer Physical Soc2016Experimental study on the influence of abrupt slope changes on flow characteristics over stepped spillways
Stepped spillways have been built since several decades in combination with roller compacted concrete dams. More recently stepped spillways are also excavated into rock along the abutments of embankment dams. According to the prevailing topography these st ...
EPFL-LCH2016Impact of water activity on the stability of ettringite
Karen Scrivener, Thomas Matschei
The stability of ettringite as function of temperature and water vapour pressure was studied on synthetic samples using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, sorption balance measurements and different calorimetry techniques. Crystalline ettringit ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2016Ice VII from aqueous salt solutions: From a glass to a crystal with broken H-bonds
It has been known for decades that certain aqueous salt solutions of LiCl and LiBr readily form glasses when cooled to below approximate to 160 K. This fact has recently been exploited to produce a "salty" high-pressure ice form: When the glass is compress ...
Nature Publishing Group2016Influence of the Coriolis force on the structure and evolution of wind turbine wakes
Fernando Porté Agel, Mahdi Abkar
In this study, large-eddy simulation combined with a turbine model is used to investigate the effect of vertical wind veer associated with the Coriolis force on the structure and evolution of wind turbine wakes. In order to isolate the Coriolis effect on t ...
Amer Physical Soc2016Electrical resistance of single-crystal magnetite (Fe3O4) under quasi-hydrostatic pressures up to 100GPa
The pressure dependence of electrical resistance of single-crystal magnetite (Fe3O4) was measured under quasi-hydrostatic conditions to 100 GPa using low-temperature, megabar diamond-anvil cell techniques in order to gain insight into the anomalous behavio ...
