Mixing efficiency and energy consumption for five generic microchannel designs
Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid
Mixing is an essential part of chemical processes. In the present work, homogeneous mixing at relatively high throughput for a single microchannel (of 1-18 mL/min) was investigated in microchannels with different dimensions, cross sections and mixing eleme ...
2011A hybrid approach for the control of axonal outgrowth: preliminary simulation results
The possible control of axonal outgrowth during neural regeneration could be very useful not only from a neurobiological point of view, but also in the field of neural interfaces. In this manuscript, simulations are presented which investigate the possibil ...
2011Advances in the Theory of Control, Signals and Systems with Physical Modeling
Philippe Müllhaupt, Jean Lévine
In the 60's, control, signals and systems had a common linear algebraic background and, according to their evolution, their respective backgrounds have now dramatically differed. Recovering such a common background, especially in the nonlinear context, is ...
Springer Verlag2010Hydrogen-Assisted Transformation of CO2 on Nickel: The Role of Formate and Carbon Monoxide
Alfonso Baldereschi, Michele Rizzi
The nanoscale description of the reaction pathways and of the role of the intermediate species involved in a chemical process is a crucial milestone for tailoring more active, stable, and cheaper catalysts, thus providing "reaction engineering" capabilitie ...
2010Micro-Structured Reactors and Catalysts for the Intensification of Chemical Processes
Process intensification is the term which describes an innovative design approach in chemical engineering aiming on a significant increase of the specific performance of chemical reactors and plants miniaturization, of at least an order of magnitude. In ad ...
American Soc Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, Ny 10016-5990 Usa2009Evaluation of UHPFRC activation energy using empirical models
Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Hamid Sadouki, Aicha Kamen
The influence of thermal curing on the evolution of the material properties and the UHPFRC behaviour was investigated. Tests results showed a beneficial effect of a high temperature curing on the early age material properties due to the thermo-activation e ...
Springer Netherlands2009Nondestructive Characterization by Advanced Synchrotron Light Techniques: Spectromicroscopy and Coherent Radiology
The advanced characteristics of synchrotron light has led in recent years to the development of a series of new experimental techniques to investigate chemical and physical properties on a microscopic scale. Although originally developed for materials scie ...
2008Scale-down approach
This thesis deals with the combined utilisation of a reaction calorimeter, the RC1® commercialised by Mettler Toledo and equipped with a 2 L glass reactor, and the heat transfer dynamics modelling of industrial reactors. By doing so, the temperature evolut ...
