EPFL2020District scale influence of waste heat on the subsurface conditions: a numerical investigation for Chicago
Since the 20th century, the rate of urbanization in the world has been increasing exponentially and will reach 68% in 2050. In parallel with this expansion, the size and activities of cities are also greatly growing. As a result, cities are depleting avail ...
2020Sulfuric acid condensation sink calculated for the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
The condensation sink is a measure of the sulfuric acid lifetime against condensation on preexisting aerosol particles. Dimensionally it is the inverse of a time (reported in per second) and it is calculated starting from the aerosol size distribution. A l ...
2020Preparation of high-conductivity, high-capacity phase change media capsules with enhanced thermos-chemical stability in thermal energy storage applications
Thermal energy storage using the effects of the latent heat in the solid-liquid phase transformation has found its way into every day applications. Reusable, organic phase change media stabilize low temperatures of parcels, and salt/water tanks act as buff ...
