Small-scale turbopumps for waste heat recovery applications based on an organic Rankine cycle: a study from pre-design to experimental validation

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is among the technologies applied to exploit waste heat in vehicles. Since common organic fluids have lower latent heat than water, higher mass flow rates are required to convert the same waste heat, considerably incr ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuator-Based Valveless Impedance-Driven Pumping for Meso- and Macroscale Applications

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Francesco Clavica, Armando Matthieu Walter, Amine Benouhiba, Silje Ekroll Jahren

Impedance pumps are simple designs that allow the generation or amplification of flow. They are fluid-filled systems based on flexible tubing connected to tubing with different impedances. A periodic off-center compression of the flexible tubing causes the ...

Bioinspired Soft Bendable Peristaltic Pump Exploiting Ballooning for High Volume Throughput

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Interest in bioinspired peristaltic pumps has grown in popularity among the scientific community in the last decade thanks to their extreme flexibility and their intrinsic compliance. In this paper, we propose a soft peristaltic pump exploiting ballooning. ...

InP/Si3N4 Hybrid External-Cavity Laser with sub-kHz Linewidth Acting as a Pump Source for Kerr Frequency Combs

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu

We report on an InP/Si3N4 hybrid integrated ECL that relies on 3D-printed coupling elements such as intra-cavity photonic wire bonds and facet-attached microlenses. We demonstrate 90 nm tuning range, SMSR above 60 dB, and intrinsic linewidths of 979 Hz. We ...

Non-evaporable getter pump operations in the TCV tokamak

Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Holger Reimerdes, Frédéric Dolizy, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz

A non-evaporable getter pump using the ZAO alloy was installed on TCV and operated during the 2019 experimental campaign. The pump performance, determined from in-situ pumping speed measurements, indicates that current getter pump technologies are well sui ...

Techno-economic assessment of postcombustion carbon capture using high-performance nanoporous single-layer graphene membranes

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Marina Micari, Mostapha Dakhchoune

High-performance membranes have emerged as an energy-efficient alternative to absorption-based postcombustion carbon capture. So far, the techno-economic analyses have been centered around the polymeric membranes. Recently, nanoporous single-layer graphene ...

Performance of a high vacuum, high temperature compatible millimeter-range viewing dump for the vertical ECE experiment on TCV

Ambrogio Fasoli, Laurie Porte, Arsène Stéphane Tema Biwole

A high vacuum and high temperature compatible viewing dump, made of MACOR, was designed and installed in TCV for Vertical ECE experiments in the 75-110 GHz frequency range. Measurements of the dump prior to installation in the tokamak showed in more than 9 ...
