Milli Newton force measurement and control for micro ultrasonic machining
Ultrasonic machining is performed using closed-loop Z-axis position and force control. Micromachining requires tools smaller than 100 micrometers in diameter, necessitating the use of forces in the low mN range. ...
Univ Nebraska-Lincoln, Industrial & Management Systems Engineering, Lincoln, Ne 68588 Usa2007Dynamics and Intensity of Erosive Partial Cavitation
François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Eduard Egusquiza
An experimental work has been carried out to investigate the dynamic behavior and the intensity of erosive partial cavitation on a 2-D hydrofoil. Both sheet (stable) and cloud (unstable) cavitation have been tested in a cavitation tunnel for various free s ...
2007Investigations of Diels-Alder reactions in ionic liquids
Room temperature ionic liquids comprise an unique class of solvent composed of organic and inorganic-based ions that are molten under ambient conditions. They are characterised by high solvent polarity and low vapour pressure, and can be tailored to have s ...
EPFL2007Analysis of large scale hydrodynamic phenomena in turbine draft tubes
Hydraulic power is a renewable energy with a very advantageous price, and its flexibility of use coupled with its storage possibilities easily enables to meet the peak demand. Refurbishment of old hydraulic power plants is an important topical issue and th ...
EPFL2007Silver Complexes of Cyclic Hexachlorotriphosphazene
The first solid-state structures of complexed P3N3X6 (X=halogen) are reported for X=Cl. The compounds were obtained from P3N3Cl6 and Ag[Al(OR)4] salts in CH2Cl2/CS2 solution. The very weakly coordinating anion with R=C(CF3)3 led to the salt Ag(P3N3Cl6)2+[A ...
2006Cavitation effects on fluid-structure interaction in the case of a 2D hydrofoil
In the present study, we have carried out an experimental investigation on the fluid-structure interaction caused by Karman vortices in the wake of a truncated 2D hydrofoil. The instrumentation involves a high frequency accelerometer and high speed visuali ...
2005The Hydrodynamic Aggressiveness of Cavitating Flows in Hydro Turbines
An original validation of the vibratory approach of the cavitation erosion monitoring is presented. Cavitation induced vibrations on a given blade of a large hydro turbine are compared to vibrations induced at the lower guide bearing as well as to the pres ...
1997Bubble-free oxygenation by means of hydrophobic porous membranes
Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison
Bubble-free aeration is applied in animal cell culture processes for oxygenation to avoid shear stress and foaming assocd. with direct sparging into the culture. Oxygen mass transfer across PTFE-membranes was detd. in three different reactor systems that m ...
1995Contribution à l'étude de l'érosion de cavitation
In the field of hydraulic power plant, the leading edge cavitation is often responsible of sever erosion which may cause a premature shutdown of energy production with costly consequences. This type of cavitation is characterized by an attached vapour cavi ...
EPFL1994Cavitation erosion power as a scaling factor for cavitation erosion of hydraulic machines
François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat
The Cavitation Erosion Power based on the assumption that severe erosion is often due to the repeated collapse of the traveling vortex generated by a leading edge cavity has been formerly introduced. We have shown that cavitation erosion intensity may be s ...
