Microscale physico-chemical interactions between hydrodynamically confined liquids and immersed biological surfaces

David Philipp Taylor

In contrast to conventional microfluidics, where liquids are typically manipulated within closed channels, open-space microfluidics has emerged as a new class of techniques that are well suited for ver-satile interaction with biological substrates. In part ...

Prototype of a thermally driven heat pump based on integrated Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC)

Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz, Jonathan Demierre

The concept studied in this work is a low power ORC-ORC heat pump system (providing about 20 kW heat at the condenser) and that is composed of an ORC power cycle driving a reversed ORC heat pump cycle, both cycles using the same fluid. The centrifugal comp ...
