The Effects of Component Tolerances on the Thermo-Mechanical Reliability of SOFC Stacks

Jan Van Herle, Zacharie Wuillemin, Arata Nakajo, Fabio Greco

The reliability of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems is closing the gap to meet the requirements for market implementation. Finite-element (FE) stack models, typically used for stack reliability analyses, commonly consider idealized components. In reali ...

Fiber bundle model under fluid pressure

Internal fluid pressure often plays an important role in the rupture of brittle materials. This is a major concern for many engineering applications and for natural hazards. More specifically, the mechanisms through which fluid pressure, applied at a micro ...

Design of a Passive Flow Regulator Using a Genetic Algorithm

Harald Van Lintel

Passive flow regulators are usually intended to deliver or drain a fluid at a constant rate independently from pressure variations. Microfluidic devices made of a stack of two plates are considered here: the first plate comprises a flexible silicon membran ...

Evidence for Marginal Stability in Emulsions

Matthieu Wyart, Jie Lin

We report the first measurements of the effect of pressure on vibrational modes in emulsions, which serve as a model for soft frictionless spheres at zero temperature. As a function of the applied pressure, we find that the density of states D(omega) exhib ...

Modelling of a Dielectric Electroactive Polymer Tubular Shape Sensor for Pressure Measurements

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne

The variation of pressure of the blood is a key parameter in the development of ventricular assist device. This latter is useful in order to synchronize the behavior of the actuator with the cardiac frequency. This paper presents a sensor made of a dielect ...

Experimental study on the influence of abrupt slope changes on flow characteristics over stepped spillways

Mohammad Javad Ostad Mirza

Application of stepped spillways increases the energy dissipation rate along the spillway and may reduce the dimensions of the terminal energy dissipation structure. This pronounced energy dissipation makes stepped chutes attractive under various condition ...

Flow boiling and frictional pressure gradients in plate heat exchangers. Part 1: Review and experimental database

John Richard Thome, Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Farzad Vakili Farahani

This two-part paper presents an overview of evaporation heat transfer mechanisms, a review of the experimental and prediction methods and a creation of a consolidated multi-lab database of 3601 data points and provides a detailed comparison of all the pred ...

Identification of above-zone pressure perturbations caused by leakage from those induced by deformation

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Pressure changes in the above zone, i.e., the overlying aquifer of an injection zone separated by a sealing caprock, are usually attributed to leakage through wells. However, pressure changes can be induced geomechanically due to rock deformation without a ...

System for Adjusting Pressure Locally Acting on the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve ...
