A reduced order model to predict the machining time and cost of small-scale radial-inflow turbines

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Matthias Geiselhart

This paper proposes a novel approach to predict the machining time of small-scale radial-inflow turbine impellers for organic Rankine cycle power systems based on preliminary design parameters. The time prediction method uses machining databases of differe ...

Two analytical approaches quantifying the electron donating capacities of dissolved organic matter to monitor its oxidation during chlorination and ozonation

Urs von Gunten

Electron-donating activated aromatic moieties, including phenols, in dissolved organic matter (DOM) partially control its reactivity with the chemical oxidants ozone and chlorine. This comparative study introduces two sensitive analytical systems to direct ...
