Les fumées des trains à vapeur, un débordement industriel et professionnel (France, Grande-Bretagne, années 1860-1930)
Objet d’une héroïsation précoce et durable, notamment à travers la littérature, le travail des mécaniciens et chauffeurs de locomotives à vapeur reste mal connu du point de vue de ses effets sur l’environnement et sur la santé des travailleurs eux-mêmes. ...
2024Design and assessment of an evaporating water-cooled methanation reactor for a SOE-based power-to-methane system
The transition towards clean renewable energy sources, where wind and solar are prone to variation, requires adequate energy storage. Power-to-methane (PtM) systems can be part of the solution. Specifically, solid-oxide-electrolyser (SOE) based PtM systems ...
EPFL2024Solar-assisted clean steam generator, a cleaner production approach for sustainable healthcare facilities
Fernando Porté Agel, Mohammad Jamshidmofid, Ahmad Arabkoohsar
Healthcare sector buildings, particularly hospitals, significantly contribute to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Hospitals require a substantial amount of steam, including the essential hygienic or " clean steam, " that is currently ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Experimental Investigation of a Small-Scale Organic Rankine Cycle Turbo-Generator Supported on Gas-Lubricated Bearings
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Kévin Rosset
Waste heat recovery (WHR) is expected to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions from trucks. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential for this application, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. A novel tur ...
2021Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a 34 Watt Radial-Inflow Steam Turbine with Partial-Admission
Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner
A micro steam turbine with a tip diameter of 15 mm was designed and experimentally characterized. At the nominal mass flow rate and total-to-total pressure ratio of 2.3 kg/h and 2, respectively, the turbine yields a power of 34 W and a total-to-static isen ...
