Nowadays, one of the main alternatives for a more rational use of energy in heating applications is the heat pumping technologies. The market is dominated by two kinds of heat pump systems: the electrically driven vapor compression heat pumps (EHP), which ...
Five bonds form in one pot, from three well-designed yet readily accessible substrates. Simply mixing an o-alkynyl aniline, e.g., 2-H2NC6H4C==CCO2Me, an aldehyde, e.g., heptanal, and ammonium chloride in toluene at room temp., followed by addn. of an isocy ...
In the present study, the sintering behavior of a commercial nano alumina powder with an initial particle size of 100 nm was investigated. The shrinkage response of the powder formed by pressure filtration (PF) during non-isothermal sintering was measured ...
In the application of solid-state NMR to many systems, the presence of radiofrequency (rf) electric fields inside classical solenoidal coils causes heating of lossy samples. in particular, this is critical for proteins in ionic buffers. Rf sample heating i ...
Recent JET experiments have been devoted to the study of (He-3)-D plasmas involving radio frequency (RF) heating. This paper starts by discussing the RF heating efficiency theoretically expected in such plasmas, covering both relevant aspects of wave and o ...
Extending the idea of exergy to practitioners and policy makers is still a major challenge. Recently the "Canton of Geneva" in Switzerland introduced a new law governing the procedures of attribution of building permits for new or retrofitted city areas. A ...
We report here on an integrated mini-lamp module (15x26x4 mm3) with a microfabricated rf-powered Rb dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp (10x10x3 mm3) positioned on top of a 0.6 mm thick (thickness adjustable) 4-layer LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Cera ...
Localized electron heating and current drive, like those produced by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) systems, are powerful tools for controlling the sawtooth period. They allow the direct modification of the plasma parameters which determine the sawtooth ...
In a moulding process, in particular in a bladder inflation moulding (BIM process) a thin walled mould is machined to the exact shape of the part to avoid any post machining of the part after stripping. The heating is performed in a liquid tin bath, used t ...
A new technique is presented for the prepn. of DSA type electrodes. In this technique, the precursor is rapidly decompd. on the substrate by treatment in an induction electromagnetic field. The effects of the rapid heating of H2IrCl6.6H2O precursor on Ti s ...
