Northwest Africa 479 (NWA 479) is a lunar meteorite recovered in 2000 from Morocco. This unbrecciated low-Ti basalt is paired with NWA 032. The texture of NWA 032/479 indicates a simple crystallization history and a fast cooling, followed by an impact even ...
This paper presents an experimental study on the fire behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) load- carrying slabs for building and bridge applications. Fire experiments were performed on cellular full-scale slabs with and without internal liquid ...
The turbine components of a gas turbine need extensive cooling to withstand the high heat loads generated by the flow of the hot combustion gases. The leading edge of a turbine blade is one of the areas that faces the hottest gas flow conditions and is thu ...
Fiber-reinforced synthetic polymers (FRP) are the building materials that may permit both the improvement of long-term building performance and the simplification of the construction process. Thanks to their high specific strength, low thermal conductivity ...
An improved version of the FALCON fuel performance code is used to model the thermal-mechanical behaviour of the test rod in the CABRI high-burnup RIA test CIP0-1. First, the original FALCON code (version MOD01) is modified by introducing new routines yiel ...
Pixel microvertex detectors at the SLHC and a future linear collider face very challenging issues: extreme radiation hardness, cooling design, interconnections density and fabrication cost. As an alternative approach we present a novel pixel detector based ...
This paper presents experimental studies on the fire behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates and unloaded cellular FRP components with internal liquid cooling. The experiments were conducted to verify the objective of liquid cooling ...
In the attempts to attain greater efficiency of mobility, based in the long-term on renewable energy sources, the efficiency of energy conversion in the vehicle remains an important issue. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell technology has the potential ...
Two kinds of anomaly, observed in the Volt-Ampere Characteristic (VAC) of large NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) are discussed. In one case, the wavy behavior of the VAC close to the current sharing range is explained with oscillations of the coolin ...
In the frame of development of the ITER electron cyclotron wave (ECW) system, a two MW CW coaxial cavity gyrotron will be developed during the Sixth Framework Program (2003-2006). Such development relies on the availability of a test stand capable of provi ...
