Development of a novel microreactor-based calorimeter for the study of fast exothermal reactions in liquid phase

Following several tragic chemical accidents that have occurred in recent years, some directives concerning chemical process safety have been issued. The Seveso directive, for example, requires a precise description of the consequences of a possible chemica ...

Behavior of a dual-purpose pile as foundation and heat exchanger

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet

The behaviour of a pile subjected to thermo-mechanical loads was studied in situ with the aim of quantifying the thermal influence on the bearing capacity of heat exchanger piles. To accomplish this, a pile situated in a building under construction was equ ...

Isothermal sections of phase equilibria in the Al-AlCo-AlNi system

The phase equilibria of the ternary Al-AlCo-AlNi system are demonstrated using isothermal sections at 1170, 1100, 1050, 900, 850, 730, and 600 degrees C. These are based on metallographic and TEM investigations and on several temperature-concentration sect ...

Targeting the optimal integration of steam networks

François Maréchal

The integration of the utility system with all the plants of an industrial site is a mamor task for targeting the Minimum Cost of the Energy Requirement (MCER). Defining the target in terms of cost rather than in terms of energy introduces the problem of i ...

Processing Of Microcellular Sic Foams .1. Curing Kinetics Of Polycarbosilane In Air

Andreas Mortensen

Curing kinetics of commercial polycarbosilane have been measured using differential scanning calorimetry in air between 140 and 220 degrees C. It was found that the total heat of curing increases linearly with temperature. At constant temperature, the rate ...
