Water contamination due to environmental conditions and poor waste management in certain areas of the world represents a serious problem in accessing clean and safe drinking water. This problem is especially critical in electricity-poor regions, where adva ...
2022Pretreatment options for micropollutant abatement before aquifer recharge in drinking water production: Assessment of UV/H2O2 and dense membranes
Micropollutants (MP) such as residues of pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals or pesticides can be detected in almost all water resources. Various processes can be used to abate them in drinking water treatment, e.g., ozonation, advanced oxidation process ...
EPFL2022Critical heat flux: Performance of R1234yf, R1234ze and R134a in an aluminum multi-minichannel heat sink at high saturation temperatures
In this paper, new saturated critical heat flux (CHF) values at medium-to-high saturation temperatures are presented for an aluminum multi-minichannel test section. Among the possible working fluids, R134a and the low GWP refrigerants R1234yf and R1234ze h ...
Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier2016Point-of-use water filters can effectively remove disinfection by-products and toxicity from chlorinated and chloraminated tap water
Epidemiological risk estimates point toward potential health risks posed by disinfection by-products ( DBPs) in chlorinated drinking water. Point-of-use filters can effectively remove regulated DBPs from tap water but the removal of unknown DBPs and toxici ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2016Role of total site integration in energy-target modification of distillation columns
François Maréchal, Nasibeh Pouransari
This paper investigates the energy efficiency improvement of an industrial site through thermodynamic analysis of distillation columns together with the total site integration (TSI). Unlike the existing methods which consider the distillation unit exclusiv ...

The present report describes the work realized in the frame of a Mas- ter Pro ject in collaboration between the company EnBW Energie Baden- Württemberg AG (Germany) and the Section of Mechanical Engineering of the Swiss Institute of Technology of Lausanne ...
2011Boiling on a Tube Bundle
The complexity of two-phase flow boiling on a tube bundle presents many challenges to the understanding of the physical phenomena taking place. It is important to quantify these numerous heat flow mechanisms in order to better describe the performance of t ...
EPFL2011Heat transport in model jammed solids
We calculate numerically the normal modes of vibrations in three-dimensional jammed packings of soft spheres as a function of the packing fraction and obtain the energy diffusivity, a spectral measure of transport that controls sound propagation and therma ...
