Key energy and technological aspects of three innovative concepts of District energy networks

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz

In urban areas, the use of thermal energy services is intensive and relatively heterogeneous by their nature, spatial distribution and temperature level required. In this study three concepts of district energy networks that could provide these services ve ...

Temperature dependence of the thermal boundary conductance in Ag–3Si/diamond composites

Ludger Weber

The effect of oxygen termination of diamond surfaces on the interface thermal conductance between Ag–3Si and diamonds is investigated in dependence of temperature by measuring thermal conductivity in the temperature range from 4 K up to ambient. Composites ...

A flexible multimodal tactile display for delivering shape and material information

Hannes Bleuler, Simon Gallo

The growing complexity of telemanipulation tasks calls for increased realism and intuitiveness of the interaction between the user and the master control. Humans perceive multiple haptic features of an object such as its stiffness, temperature, and shape, ...

Fener: A Radiance-based modelling approach to assess the thermal and daylighting performance of complex fenestration systems in office spaces

Jan Wienold

A new Radiance-based modelling approach called Fener is presented. The motivation is to be able to perform detailed analyses of complex fenestration systems (CFS) from the energetic and daylighting points of view in a computationally efficient manner, so t ...

Near-optimal thermal monitoring framework for many-core systems on chip

Martin Vetterli, David Atienza Alonso, Juri Ranieri, Amina Chebira, Alessandro Vincenzi

Chip designers place on-chip thermal sensors to measure local temperatures, thus preventing thermal runaway situations in many-core processing architectures. However, the quality of the thermal reconstruction is directly dependent on the number of placed s ...

Prediction of quenching-induced stress distribution in 7XXX aluminium alloy thick plates using Gleeble interrupted quench tests

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Patrick Schloth, Denis Carron

In the fabrication of heat treatable aluminum parts for the aeronautic industry, quenching is a key step to obtain the required mechanical characteristics after aging. For thick plates, thermal gradients cause non-homogeneous plastic strain resulting in re ...

Overview of Deployment of Magnetic Refrigeration in Heat Pump Systems

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz

The majority of cooling systems are based upon vapor-compression refrigeration technology. Its principle has been unchanged for more than a century. Miniaturization and competitiveness have been gained, but there’s still a need of alternative technologies, ...

Initiation of liquid-solid contact beneath an impacting drop

John Martin Kolinski

Before an impacting drop contacts the solid surface it must first drain the air beneath it. As a prelude to wetting, before any contact occurs, the impinging liquid confines the intervening air into a nanometers-thin film. Once liquid-solid contact initiat ...
