Multi-Scale Study of High-Temperature Latent Heat Storage With Metallic Phase Change Materials

Energy storage is a central issue in the green economy with half the global end energy usage being heat. Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) provides an energy dense heat storage solution with a well-defined discharge temperature. Utilizing low-cost ...

Ultra-Compact Ka-band Metamaterial Waveguide Filters, Fabricated by Lost-Wax Casting

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Maliheh Khatibi Moghaddam

This paper proposes a novel technique for the design of miniaturized Ka-band filters based on locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs), which are fabricated monolithically using lost wax casting. We implement ultra-small metamaterial filters by exploiting a n ...

Buoyancy-driven melting and solidification heat transfer analysis in encapsulated phase change materials

Sophia Haussener, Nithin Mallya

Controlled melting and solidification in encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) is of practical interest, for example, in latent heat storage applications. The choice of PCMs and the dynamic heat transfer characteristics during phase change - affecting ...

Self-tracking Solar Concentration

Volker Günter Zagolla

Solar concentration is intended to decrease the cost of expensive solar cell material by replacing the solar cell with a focusing optical system as the initial receiving aperture. This reduces the amount of solar cell material needed but adds the need of t ...

Tuneable PTC effect in polymer-wax-carbon composite resistors

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Ludivine Ammon

Purpose: The resistivity dependence on temperature of composite resistors made of carbon fillers dispersed in an organic matrix are known to be strongly affected by the matrix thermal expansion. High positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effects, i.e. ess ...

What impacts skin color in digital photos?

Albrecht Johannes Lindner, Stefan Winkler

Skin colors are important for a broad range of imaging applications to assure quality and naturalness. We discuss the impact of various metadata on skin colors in images, i.e. how does the presence of a metadata attribute influence the expected skin color ...

Composition and fate of gas and oil released to the water column during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Quantitative information regarding the endmember composition of the gas and oil that flowed from the Macondo well during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is essential for determining the oil flow rate, total oil volume released, and trajectories and fates o ...

Scratching as a Fracture Process: From Butter to Steel

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We present results of a hybrid experimental and theoretical investigation of the fracture scaling in scratch tests and show that scratching is a fracture dominated process. Validated for paraffin wax, cement paste, Jurassic limestone and steel, we derive a ...
