First principles computational chemistry predictions of equilibrium and kinetic constants for electrophilic reactions in water

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher, Daniela Trogolo

Aqueous electrophilic reactions are broadly important in environmental chemistry, but the thermodynamic equilibrium constants, rate constants, and mechanisms describing these reactions are often difficult to determine by experiment. Here we report on our e ...

Solar fuel processing efficiency for ceria redox cycling using alternative oxygen partial pressure reduction methods

Sophia Haussener, Meng Lin

Solar-driven non-stoichiometric thermochemical redox cycling of ceria for the conversion of solar energy into fuels shows promise in achieving high solar-to-fuel efficiency. This efficiency is significantly affected by the operating conditions, e.g. redox ...

Clathrate structure-type recognition: Application to hydrate nucleation and crystallisation

Simone Meloni

For clathrate-hydrate polymorphic structure-type (sI versus sII), geometric recognition criteria have been developed and validated. These are applied to the study of the rich interplay and development of both sI and sII motifs in a variety of hydrate-nucle ...

Non-volatile polarization switch of magnetic domain wall velocity

Nava Setter, Igor Stolichnov, Zhouji Huang

Controlled propagation speed of individual magnetic domains in metal channels at the room temperature is obtained via the non-volatile field effect associated with the switchable polarization of P(VDF-TrFE) (polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) ferro ...

Low-frequency wave propagation in post-buckled structures

Alessandro Spadoni, Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Nonlinear wave propagation in solids and material structures provides a physical basis to derive nonlinear canonical equations which govern disparate phenomena such as vortex filaments, plasma waves, and traveling loops. Nonlinear waves in solids however r ...

Observing liquid flow in nanotubes by 4D electron microscopy

Ulrich Lorenz

Nanofluidics involves the study of fluid transport in nanometer-scale structures. We report the direct observation of fluid dynamics in a single zinc oxide nanotube with the high spatial and temporal resolution of four-dimensional (4D) electron microscopy. ...

Role of total site integration in energy-target modification of distillation columns

François Maréchal, Nasibeh Pouransari

This paper investigates the energy efficiency improvement of an industrial site through thermodynamic analysis of distillation columns together with the total site integration (TSI). Unlike the existing methods which consider the distillation unit exclusiv ...

FH HES Optimization of Chemical Reactor Feed by Simulations Based on a Kinetic Approach

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Charles Ibrahim Guinand

Chemical incidents are typically caused by loss of control, resulting in runaway reactions or process deviations in different stages of the production. In the case of fed-batch reactors, the problem generally encountered is the accumulation of heat. This i ...

Innovative isothermal oil-free co-rotating scroll compressor-expander for energy storage with first expander tests

Daniel Favrat, Angel Iglesias

The development of an efficient isothermal turbine and compressor is essential for the realization of a small-scale compressed air energy storage (CAES). This article presents the theoretical development of an oil-free co-rotating scroll air compressor and ...

The Stationary Behaviour of Fluid Limits of Reversible Processes is Concentrated on Stationary Points

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Assume that a stochastic process can be approximated, when some scale parameter gets large, by a fluid limit (also called mean field limit", or hydrodynamic limit"). A common practice, often called the ``fixed point approximation" consists in approxima ...
