Thermal Design of a Medium Voltage Modular Multilevel Converter Cell
Drazen Dujic, Yanick Patrick Frei
This paper presents the cooling concept for a medium voltage modular multilevel converter cell. To optimize power density, the metallic enclosure is used to dissipate the heat generated by semiconductor losses, while maintaining maximum temperatures below ...
IEEE2023Mitochondrial matrix protein LETMD1 maintains thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue in male mice
Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Jun Yong Kim, Maroun Bou Sleiman
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has abundant mitochondria with the unique capability of generating heat via uncoupled respiration. Here, Park et al. identify LETMD1 as a mitochondrial matrix protein enriched in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and reveal a crucial ro ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Dissipation-driven selection of states in non-equilibrium chemical networks
Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang, Francesco Piazza
Life has most likely originated as a consequence of processes taking place in non-equilibrium conditions (e.g. in the proximity of deep-sea thermal vents) selecting states of matter that would have been otherwise unfavorable at equilibrium. Here we present ...
20213D-ICE 3.0: efficient nonlinear MPSoC thermal simulation with pluggable heat sink models
David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Federico Terraneo
The increasing power density in modern high-performance multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) is fueling a revolution in thermal management. On the one hand, thermal phenomena are becoming a critical concern, making accurate and efficient simulation a nec ...
2021Nuclear Quantum Effects: Fast and Accurate
Atomistic simulations are a bottom up approach that predict properties
of materials by modelling the quantum mechanical behaviour of all electrons
and nuclei present in a system. These simulations, however, routinely assume
nuclei to be classical particles ...
EPFL2020Combined exergy analysis, energy integration and optimization of syngas and ammonia production plants: A cogeneration and syngas purification perspective
François Maréchal, Shivom Sharma
Modern ammonia production plants are equipped with efficient energy integration networks able to recover an important fraction of the waste heat exergy available throughout the chemical system. However, in order to drive the endothermic reforming reactions ...
