Understanding the carbonation of concrete with supplementary cementitious materials: a critical review by RILEM TC 281-CCC

Blended cements, where Portland cement clinker is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), provide the most feasible route for reducing carbon dioxide emissions associated with concrete production. However, lowering the clinker co ...

High-humidity processed perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are considered the next-in-line technology in the solar industry. This technology can reduce the cost of solar energy to an unprecedented level given their remarkably high efficiency and ease of manufacturing. Hitherto, many s ...

Dynamic wetting in pressure-infiltration of ceramic particle preforms by molten metal

Gionata Schneider

This thesis investigates the interaction between mechanically induced flow of a liquid metal into a porous solid, and kinetic effects at the triple line. The approach is experimental and focuses on metal-ceramic systems for which the literature gives value ...

Retrieval of ice-nucleating particle concentrations from lidar observations and comparison with UAV in situ measurements

Athanasios Nenes, Dimitra Mamali

Aerosols that are efficient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are crucial for the formation of cloud ice via heterogeneous nucleation in the atmosphere. The distribution of INPs on a large spatial scale and as a function of height determines their impact on ...

Fluorescent Nanodiamonds as Versatile Intracellular Temperature Sensors

Aleksandra Radenovic, Vytautas Navikas, Evgenii Glushkov

Temperature is a widely known phenomenon, which plays an extremely important role in biological systems. Its behavior on the macro-scale has been quite well investigated and understood, thanks to the availability of reliable and precise thermometers such a ...

Experiments-based multi-scale modeling of the alkali-silica reaction in concrete

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Mauro Corrado, Roozbeh Rezakhani

In this study, we investigate the mechanical behavior of large concrete structures affected by the alkali-silica reaction. Particularly, concrete dams are explored. Their permanent contact with water, and thus increased humidity, promotes the ASR. Seasonal ...

Effects of humid air on aerodynamic journal bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

The development of aerodynamic bearings applications where ambient conditions cannot be controlled (e.g., for automotive fuel cell compressor) raises the question of the effects of condensation in the humid air on perfor-mance. A modified Reynolds equation ...

How Are Turbulent Sensible Heat Fluxes and Snow Melt Rates Affected by a Changing Snow Cover Fraction?

Michael Lehning

The complex interaction between the atmospheric boundary layer and the heterogeneous land surface is typically not resolved in numerical models approximating the turbulent heat exchange processes. In this study, we consider the effect of the land surface h ...

In-situ Determination of Moisture Diffusion Properties of PV Module Encapsulants Using Digital Humidity Sensors

Christophe Ballif, Eleonora Annigoni, Marko Jankovec

We conducted a long-term (>6500 h) in-situ PV module humidity monitoring experiment, where digital humidity sensors encapsulated in different encapsulants (EVA, TPO, POE and ionomer) were exposed to different humidity conditions in a climatic chamber. From ...

Effect of meso-scale surface water temperature heterogeneity on surface cooling estimates of a large lake: Airborne remote sensing results from Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

Satellite thermal images are frequently used in the study of surface heat exchange dynamics over lakes. Such investigations can depict large-scale thermal patterns with a resolution of O(1 km2), but not meso- or small-scale processes, requiring O(1 m) and ...
