Prediction of a Francis turbine prototype full load instability from investigations on the reduced scale model

François Avellan, Pierre Maruzewski, Sébastien Alligné

The growing development of renewable energies combined with the process of privatization, lead to a change of economical energy market strategies. nstantaneous pricings of electricity as a function of demand or predictions, induces profitable peak producti ...

Development of MEMS based Electric Propulsion

Herbert Shea

In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number of small satellites being designed, built and launched. Due to resource constraints, these spacecraft have not generally included any propulsion capability, and this has severely limited missio ...

SURFACE ROUGHNESS IMPACT ON FRANCIS TURBINE PERFORMANCES AND PREDICTION OF EFFICIENCY STEP UP

François Avellan, Pierre Maruzewski, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Henri-Pascal Mombelli

In the process of turbine modernizations, the investigation of the influences of water passage roughness on radial flow machine performance is crucial and validates the efficiency step up between reduced scale model and prototype. This study presents the s ...

Using Augmentations as Bridges from Concrete to Abstract Representations

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Guillaume Zufferey

We describe a pedagogical approach supporting the acquisition of abstraction skills by apprentices in logistics. Apprentices start with a concrete representation in the form of a small-scale model which aims at engaging them in learning activities. Multipl ...

Design of simulator for seepage detection in an embankment based on distributed optic fibre sensing technology

Luc Thévenaz, Pingyu Zhu, Yang Zhou

Based on the temperature change in an embankment, a seepage flow simulator and monitoring system based on distributed optical fiber sensing are proposed. A simulator is designed that consists of scale model of embankment with definite length, seepage flow ...

Modelling Complex Fenestration Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit

Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) are widely studied to help redirecting daylight into a room in order to optimise its luminous properties. Daylighting designers and researchers usually employ physical and virtual models to assess their daylighting perfor ...
