The one-dimensional transient numerical code of JJ Cooling Innovation has been significantly improved to simulate the thermal/hydraulic performance of pulsating heat pipes (PHPs). Using a mechanistic approach, the liquid slug and vapor plug flows and their ...
This project aims at designing a laboratory-scale experiment to investigate the thermal performance of Fractures Thermal Energy Storage (FTES) systems. While previous field tests have focused on creating horizontal planar fractures at shallow depths, none ...
The significant progress that has been made in recent years both in hardware implementations and in numerical computing has rendered real-time optimization-based control a viable option when it comes to advanced industrial applications. At the same time, t ...
Biomass is an attractive renewable and stored energy that can be converted to transportation fuels, chemicals and electricity using bio-chemical and thermo-chemical conversion routes. Notably, biofuels have relatively lower greenhouse gas emissions compare ...
In this study, total heat transfer rate and pressure drop along a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) with 6 porous baffles are numerically investigated. To study the impacts of segmental porous baffles, three values for the permeability (10(-9) m(2), 10( ...
Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...
In Nature, biological materials such as nacre, bone, and dentin display an enhanced mechanical strength due to their structure characterized by hard inclusions embedded in a soft matrix. This structure has inspired the design of artificial materials with o ...
High-temperature latent heat thermal energy storage systems offer compact storage solutions, benefiting from the large latent heat of phase change materials. Common challenges in their design process are the low thermal conductivity of the phase change mat ...
Heat transfer phenomena involving internally heated fluid flows are of particular interest in several industrial applications, in chemical plants as in the nuclear field. This topic is relevant for the development of the Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) since i ...
The energy transition in Switzerland specifies reduction of the country’s primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In the building sector, one way to achieve this is through adoption of efficient and sustainable technologies. With this aim, ...
