Do Antidune Trains Undergo Morphological Changes When These Bedforms Migrate Upstream?

Upstream migrating antidunes develop in streams under supercritical flow conditions. These bedforms are often organised in trains (i.e. sequences of well-developed antidunes). In shallow flows over coarse sediments, the dynamics of a single antidune can be ...

Scale limitations of gas bearing supported turbocompressors for vapor compression cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

An analysis of single-stage centrifugal compressors supported on dynamic, gas lubricated bearings for driving vapor compression cycles suggests that the maximum feasible compressor power is limited, primarily by the bearing load capacity, in the range from ...

Scanning PIV of turbulent flows over and through rough porous beds using refractive index matching

Christophe Ancey, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

This paper presents image velocimetry measurements on turbulent flows adjacent to a permeable bed made of randomly packed glass particles. For measuring flow velocities inside the bed, the refractive index of the glass particles was matched with that of th ...

Printing of NiO-YSZ nanocomposites: from continuous synthesis to inkjet deposition

Andreas Stephan Lesch, Victor Costa Bassetto, Massimo Rosa

Water-based inks, containing nanometric NiO and YSZ particles in 66/34 vol. % ratio, are produced by colloidal stabilization of a binary dispersion obtained via continuous hydrothermal synthesis at supercritical conditions, i.e. 280 bar and 400 °C. The met ...

Supercritical water anomalies in the vicinity of the Widom line

Christian Ludwig

Supercritical water is used in a variety of chemical and industrial applications. As a consequence, a detailed knowledge of the structure-properties correlations is of uttermost importance. Although supercritical water was considered as a homogeneous fluid ...

Generic superstructure synthesis of organic Rankine cycles for waste heat recovery in industrial processes

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Maziar Kermani, Anna Sophia Wallerand

Waste heat accounts for up to 70% of input energy in industrial processes which enunciates the importance of energy recovery measures to improve efficiency and reduce excessive energy consumption. A portion of the energy can be recovered within the process ...

Multi-objective optimization of turbo-ORC systems for waste heat recovery on passenger car engines

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Violette Mounier, Kévin Rosset

Waste heat recovery from passenger car internal combustion engines by means of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is promising for reducing CO2 emissions. In this study, different cycle configurations capable of converting waste heat from both coolant a ...

Methodologies for simultaneous optimization of heat, mass, and power in industrial processes

Maziar Kermani

Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...

Multiple Inflow Branches at Supercritical-Type Vortex Drop Shaft

Michael Pfister, Jean-Marc Ribi, Corrado Gisonni, Gaetano Crispino, Thierry Fuchsmann

Vortex drop shafts serve to overcome important elevation differences in drainage systems. If well designed, they are performant in terms of energy dissipation and safety. However, the standard design requires well-defined approach flow conditions to ensure ...

Dimensionless correlations and performance maps of scroll expanders for micro-scale Organic Rankine Cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo, Luis Eric Olmedo Ocampo, Violette Mounier

In the endeavor towards distributed power systems, not seasonal-dependent micro-power generation technologies are expected to integrate the energy scenario in the years to come. In this context, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) in the (1e10) KWe scale has c ...
