The main goal of this master is to define and analyse the best layout options for a combined cycle power plant. The gas turbines used for this combined cycle are known. Methods for power augmentation of the gas turbine are considered. Different layouts and ...
The aim of this thesis work was to obtain a deeper understanding of spin-dependent transport by the study of mixed effects of heat and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, even thermodynamics establish a relationship between both currents, n ...
The infrared predissociation spectrum of t-butyl hydroperoxide excited to the 4-nu-OH level reveals extensive mixing between the zeroth-order OH stretch state and nearly isoenergetic zeroth-order dark states. Because most of these dark states have an OH st ...
We present a two-dimensional granular model for the mechanical behavior of an ensemble of globular grains during solidification. The grain structure is produced by a Voronoi tessellation based on an array of predefined nuclei. We consider the fluid flow ca ...
A comprehensive review of flow boiling characteristics and flow pattern visualization of refrigerant/lubricant oil mixtures is presented in this paper. First, various parameters influenced by the lubricant oil in convective boiling of refrigerants, such as ...
State-selected spectra of the OH stretch overtones of methanol in the range of upsilon(1) = 3-8 reveal spectral splittings and broadenings that result from vibrational couplings within the molecule. We employ a two-color excitation technique in which an in ...
Basic thermodynamic considerations are used to rationalize the formation of thermotropic mesophases incorporating aromatic ligands for trivalent lanthanide metal ions (Ln). Standard flat and bent molecular interfaces, separating the central binding unit fr ...
Recent explosions at two chemical plants, one in the United States and one in Japan, involving hydroxylamine manufacture underline the lack of mechanistic understanding about this industrially relevant compound. The basic chemical properties of hydroxylami ...
