A comparative study of VOCs in Singapore and European office buildings

Claude-Alain Roulet

This study compares the characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the associated factors affecting them within European (EU) and Singapore buildings. Generally, concentrations of target VOCs determined in the two types of buildings were with ...

Perceived health and comfort in relation to energy use and building characteristics

Claude-Alain Roulet

Within the European research project Health Optimisation Protocol for Energy-efficient Building (HOPE), 96 apartment buildings and 64 office buildings (of which approximately 75% have been designed to be energy-efficient) were investigated. The building ch ...

Modelling the CABRI high-burnup RIA test CIP0-1 using an extended version of the FALCON code

Rakesh Chawla

An improved version of the FALCON fuel performance code is used to model the thermal-mechanical behaviour of the test rod in the CABRI high-burnup RIA test CIP0-1. First, the original FALCON code (version MOD01) is modified by introducing new routines yiel ...

LTCC thermal gas viscometer – heater module

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Hansu Birol, Giancarlo Corradini

In this work, a novel sensor for measuring the viscosity of a gas, based on the combination of a heating cavity, a pressure sensor and a meander with a high resistance to flow, all integrated in low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology, is presen ...

RADIACONF : A design tool for locating and sizing radiant panels to improve comfort

Claude-Alain Roulet

Thermal comfort depends on heat exchanges of the body by conduction evapo-transpiration and convection to the air, and radiation to and from surrounding surfaces. Usual ways of sizing heating and cooling systems are based on homogeneous temperature in the ...

Fabrication and characterization of LTCC-based millinewton force sensor: influence of design and materials compatibility on device performance

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Hansu Birol, Giancarlo Corradini

LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) technology has recently gained a remarkable application potential in sensors field. This can be ascribed to many advantages it offers: the ease of LTCC tape handling providing a great freedom in design and fabricatio ...

Spatially incoherent illumination as a mechanism for cross-talk suppression in wide-field optical coherence tomography

René Salathé, Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Markus Laubscher

Comparison of two illumination modes for wide-field optical coherence tomography has revealed that spatially coherent illumination generates coherent cross talk, causing significant image degradation, and that spatially incoherent illumination, with an ade ...

Power formulation for the optimal control of an industrial induction heating process for thixoforming

Jacques Rappaz, Alexandre Masserey

We present an extension of a 2D cartesian electromagnetic and thermal model to achieve the optimal control of an industrial induction heating system. The control variables are the frequency and the power. We explain how to derive the discrete optimal contr ...
