At this time, a large number of hydraulic turbomachinery installations are ageing, so that they need refurbishement to increase their efficiency and their associated output power. The items that need refurbishement are mainly the runner and the guide vanes ...
We numerically investigate the competition between phase separation and dynamical arrest in a colloidal system interacting via a short-ranged attractive potential. Equilibrium fluid configurations are quenched at two different temperatures below the critic ...
This paper describes the optimization of batch processes in the presence of uncertainty and constraints. The optimal solution consists of keeping certain path and terminal constraints active and driving the sensitivities to zero. The case where the termina ...
Systems and methods for removing oxyanionic contaminants, such as arsenate (As(V)) and selenite (Se(IV)), from polluted water. The system utilizes calcium alginate which has been doped with ferric iron. The system is operated as either a batch-type or cont ...
Excitation of the A(3ss) Rydberg state of NO leads to an extensive rearrangement of the environment, which was studied by classical mol. dynamics simulations and normal mode anal., using pair potentials from the literature. The medium response is independe ...
Choosing the best out of an increasing number of options requires reliable and accurate information. As our time and resources are limited, we commonly use the experience of others in order to take decisions. Reputation mechanisms aggregate in a formal way ...

Summary form only given. We have developed a diagnostic of absolute concentration measurement based on a time resolved resonant absorption spectroscopy. The probe signal *OH(A2Σ+ -X2Π, λ≈308 nm) is generated in a high pulse voltage triggered DBD probe. ...
Experimental test results for flow boiling of pure ammonia inside horizontal tubes were obtained for a plain stainless steel tube. Tests were run at a nominal saturation temperature of 4°C, nine mass velocities from 20- 140 kg/m2s, vapor qualities from 1-9 ...
Numerous degrees of freedom are often available for the heat integration of batch processes. Usually, only few of these are actually considered and optimized. Time slice-dependant Tmin have been investigated and optimized using a supertargeting procedure o ...
Intube flow boiling experiments for refrigerant R-134a mixed with a lubricating oil are reported. The tests were run at a nominal inlet pressure of 3.4 bar over a wide range of vapor qualities at mass velocities of 100, 200 and 300 kg/m2s (73500, 147000 an ...
