Adiabatic two-phase pressure drop of carbon dioxide in different channel orientations

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Rémi Revellin, David Schmid

Adiabatic pressure drop measurements of two-phase Carbon Dioxide (CO2) have been carried out in horizontal, vertical upward and downward direction with a dedicated test facility at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). A database of more t ...

Autonomous oil flow generated by self-oscillating polymer gels

Vito Cacucciolo

The previously reported gel and polymer actuators require external inputs, such as batteries, circuits, electronic circuits, etc., compared with autonomous motions produced by the living organisms. To realize the spontaneous motions, here, we propose to in ...

Copper battery for heat to power conversion and energy storage

Sunny Isaïe Maye

An important part of the electricity production relies on heat conversion. Indeed power plants burn fuels like natural gas, coal or use nuclear fission to produce heat that can be transformed into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle and the mechanica ...

Guest-dependent negative thermal expansion in a lanthanide-based metal-organic framework

Berend Smit, Kyriakos Stylianou, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Andrzej Gladysiak

A lanthanide-based metal-organic framework (MOF) named SION-2 displays strong and tuneable uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE). The coefficient of thermal expansion alpha(1) reaches -153(6) MK-1 between 100 and 340 K, which is the highest value repor ...

High temperature heat pump using HFO and HCFO refrigerants – system design and experimental results

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

High temperature heat pumps (HTHP) with heat sink temperatures of 100 to 160 °C will increasingly become commercialized in the coming years, especially for industrial drying, sterilization and evaporation processes. In particular, the HFO R1336mzz(Z) and t ...

Effect of Chaotropes on the Transfer of Ions and Dyes across the Liquid–Liquid Interface

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Evgeny Smirnov, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier, Elena Vladimirova

Chaotropes such as urea can break the structure of water, weakening the hydrophobic effect and reducing aggregation. Here, we investigated how the addition of urea affects the transfer of ions and cationic dyes across the interface between immiscible elect ...

Testing and modelling of a novel oil-free co-rotating scroll machine with water injection

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo

Efficient compressed air energy storage requires reversible isothermal compression and expansion devices. The isothermal compression and expansion processes can either be approached by several stages with intercooling or by the more convenient injection of ...

Techno-economic modeling and optimization of solar-driven high-temperature electrolysis systems

Sophia Haussener, Meng Lin

We present a techno-economic analysis of solar-driven hightemperature electrolysis systems used for the production of hydrogen and synthesis gas. We consider different strategies for the incorporation of solar energy, distinguished by the use of differing ...
