Mean-field transport equations and energy theorem for plasma edge turbulent transport

This paper establishes a mean-field equation set and an energy theorem to provide a theoretical basis in view of the development of self-consistent, physics-based turbulent transport models for mean-field transport codes. A rigorous averaging procedure ide ...

Advancing efficiency and reliability in thermal analysis of laser powder-bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach, Rafal Wróbel, Thomas Mayer

In laser based powder-bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), parts are fabricated by melting layers of powder using a high-intensity laser beam. During this process, the material is exposed to rapid cooling rates and intense thermal gradients, which are the unde ...

Synthesis of polysiloxane elastomers modified with sulfonyl side groups and their electromechanical response

Holger Frauenrath, Yauhen Sheima

Dielectric elastomer transducers are elastic capacitors that respond to mechanical or electrical stress. They can be used in applications such as millimeter-sized soft robots and harvesters of the energy contained in ocean waves. The dielectric component o ...

Ultra low quantum decoherence nano-optomechanical systems

Mohammadjafar Bereyhi

Thermal motion of a room-temperature mechanical resonator typically dominates the quantum backaction of its position measurement. This is a longstanding barrier for exploring cavity optomechanics at room temperature. In order to enter the quantum regime of ...

Multi-Scale Study of High-Temperature Latent Heat Storage With Metallic Phase Change Materials

Nithin Mallya

Energy storage is a central issue in the green economy with half the global end energy usage being heat. Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) provides an energy dense heat storage solution with a well-defined discharge temperature. Utilizing low-cost ...

Synthesis and investigation of the thermal proper- ties of [Co(N H-3)(6)] [Co(C2O4)(3)]center dot 3H(2)O and [Ir(NH3)(6)][Ir(C2O4)(3)]

Ilia Kochetygov

The complexes [Co (NH3)(6)][Ir (C2O4)(3)] and [Ir(NH3)(6)][Co (C2O4)(3)center dot H2O have previously been synthesized and their thermal properties studied. The [Ir(NH3)(6)][Ir(C2O4)(3)] and [Co(NH3)(6)][Co(C2O4)(3)]center dot 3H(2)O complexes considered h ...

Multi-configuration evaluation of a megajoule-scale high-temperature latent thermal test-bed

Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Selmar Rudolf Binder, Nithin Mallya, Alberto Ortona, Maurizio Barbato

Thermal energy storage via latent heat provides an energy dense solution and, during discharge, a hot stream at a well-defined temperature. Utilizing metal phase change materials (PCMs) and high-temperature operation might enable fast (dis)charging and app ...

Thermodynamics of organic electrochemical transistors

Matteo Cucchi, Hsin Tseng

Though models describing the operating mechanism of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been developed, these models are unable to accurately reproduce OECT electrical characteristics. Here, the authors report a thermodynamic-based framework t ...

Energetics and mixing of thermally driven flows in Hele-Shaw cells

Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Thermally driven flows in fractures play a key role in enhancing the heat transfer and fluid mixing across the Earth’s lithosphere. Yet the energy pathways in such confined environments have not been characterised. Building on Letelier et al. (J. Fluid Mec ...

Dissipation-Driven Selection under Finite Diffusion: Hints from Equilibrium and Separation of Time Scales

Paolo De Los Rios, Shiling Liang, Daniel Maria Busiello

When exposed to a thermal gradient, reaction networks can convert thermal energy into the chemical selection of states that would be unfavourable at equilibrium. The kinetics of reaction paths, and thus how fast they dissipate available energy, might be do ...
