Multi-objective optimisation (MOO) of super-structured process designs are expensive in CPU- time because of the high number of potential configurations and operation conditions to be calculated. Thus single process units are generally represented by simpl ...
Density functional theory calculations have been performed to provide details of the structural and charge-transfer details related to the solid solution of hydrogen in (delta)-plutonium. We follow the Flanagan model that outlines the process by which hydr ...
Using an optimally coupled nanometer-scale SQUID, we measure the magnetic flux originating from an individual ferromagnetic Ni nanotube attached to a Si cantilever. At the same time, we detect the nanotube's volume magnetization using torque magnetometry. ...
Within the global challenge of climate change mitigation, CO2 capture and storage is regarded as a potential option to reduce the CO2 emissions in power plants. The most common technology to capture CO2 is chemical absorption with amines, requiring however ...
This study presents a methodology based on the process integration techniques and multiple representation of heating and cooling requirement concept to improve the energy efficiency of a large-scale chemical plant. Considering the difficulties of data gath ...
The efficiency of an operating photoelectrochemical solar-fuels-generator system is determined by the system design, the properties and morphology of the system's components, and the operational conditions. We used a previously developed model comprising o ...
Naturally occurring intrastrand oxidative crosslink lesions have proven to be a potent source of endogenous DNA damage. Among the variety of lesions that can be formed and have been identified, G[8-5]C damage (in which the C8 atom of a guanine is covalentl ...
Multistage heat pumps are one of the most efficient technologies for delivering heat at temperatures below 100°C, Thanks to their fairly high exergy efficiency. In the recent years the development of radial compressors mounted on gas bearings have unlock t ...
The fabrication of high precision miniaturized components in micro- and nano-technologies requires a deep understanding of the physical mechanisms governing the nanomachining process. To aid with this need, the current article employs molecular dynamics to ...
The analysis of cooling of a binary high T-c superconductor (HTS) 20 kA current lead (CL) operating between 4.5 and 300 K is carried out. We assume that the HTS module is conduction cooled, whereas the cold end of the copper heat exchanger (HEX) is immerse ...
