A model for the evaluation of the electric field associated with the lightning-triggering rocket wire and its corona
In this paper, we analyze the electric field at ground level during the first stage of triggered lightning experiments, i.e., during the rocket ascent and prior to the lightning initiation. At distances of some tens of meters from the triggering wire, the ...
Amer Geophysical Union2015Efficient suppression of back electron/hole recombination in cobalt phosphate surface-modified undoped bismuth vanadate photoanodes
In this paper, we compared for the first time the dynamics of photogenerated holes in BiVO4 photoanodes with and without CoPi surface modification, employing transient absorption and photocurrent measurements on microsecond to second timescales. CoPi surfa ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2015Hematite photoelectrodes for water splitting: evaluation of the role of film thickness by impedance spectroscopy
Kevin Sivula, Florian Le Formal
The electrochemical behavior of alpha-Fe2O3 photoelectrodes prepared by spray pyrolysis with different thicknesses was examined under dark and illumination conditions. The main charge transport phenomena occurring in the PEC cell photoelectrodes were chara ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2014Detailed Heat Transfer Distributions of Narrow Impingement Channels for Cast-In Turbine Airfoils
Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis, Bernhard Weigand
The current capabilities of the foundry industry allow the production of integrally cast turbine airfoils. Impingement cooling effectiveness can be then further increased due to the manufacturing feasibility of narrow impingement cavities in a double-wall ...
American Society of Mechanical Engineers2014Experimental and Numerical Investigation of a Fully Confined Impingement Round Jet
Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis, Gwenael Hannema, Gabriel Charles Gnaegi, Oriana Caggese
The heat transfer characteristics of a fully confined impingement jet are experimentally and numerically evaluated. Full surface heat transfer coefficient distributions are obtained for the target and impingement plate of the model using the transient liqu ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2013Jet impact angle on chute downstream of aerator
Chute aerators protect spillways from cavitation damage. Several parameters affect their efficiency, which were intensively discussed in literature. One implicit parameter is the cavity jet impact angle at the re-attachment point of the flow on the chute b ...
2012Experimental and Numerical Study of the Thermal Performance of a Film Cooled Turbine Platform
Peter Ott, Magnus Jonsson, Dominique Charbonnier
Detailed surface measurements of the thermal performance of a film cooling system have been performed on the endwall of a nozzle guide vane (NGV) mounted in a linear cascade facility at EPFL. An external cooling scheme including several rows of fan-shaped ...
American Soc Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, Ny 10016-5990 Usa2009Dielectric electroactive polymer
Dielectric electroactive polymer comprising an elastomer layer arranged between two compliant elastomer electrodes characterized by the fact that at least one of said compliant elastomer electrodes is obtained by ion implantation on said elastomer layer. T ...
2007Solar photoelectrolysis of water with translucent nano-structured hematite photoanodes
In the context of the diminishing fossil energy resources and global warming, much research is focused on sustainable energy sources. The research that is presented in this thesis falls in this category as it contributes to the development of a device that ...
EPFL2007New tripodal N-heterocyclic carbene chelators for small molecule activation
A review. In an effort to develop new tripodal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands for small mol. activation, two new classes of tripodal NHC ligands TIMER and TIMENR were synthesized. The C-anchored tris(carbene) ligand system TIMER (R = Me, t-Bu) forms ...
