Air Ionization provides an excellent opportunity to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) for commercial buildings. Our ultimate goal is to develop guidelines based on a combined experimental and analytical approach for implementing air ionization (AirI) systems into commercial buildings, ... Read More
Microwave plasma sources with a resonant cavity have been widely used in microwave electrothermal thrusters as an electric propulsion device, in which free-floating plasma is ignited and sustained in a propellant gas. The resonant cavity microwave plasma has become increasingly ... Read More
COMSOL has been used to model the propagation of electromagnetic waves in fusion plasmas. For the first time, a finite element method has been used to solve the wave propagation for realistic fusion plasma parameters in the lower hybrid and ion cyclotron frequency ranges. Moreover, for ... Read More
In circuit breakers, short-circuit breaking involves extreme conditions linked to the presence of an intense electric arc. This requires the use of specific electrical contacts consisting of a contact tip and its support. SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC uses the resistance sintering technique for the ... Read More
The research in magnetic confinement fusion is carried out through electromagnetic machines, with a toroidal geometry, where a hot plasma of heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) is contained in a vacuum vessel. Due to the very high temperatures reached by the plasma, strong ... Read More
THz is an emerging technology which can be strongly utilized in the field of spectroscopy, communication, biomedical, non-destructive evaluation (NDE), food industry and many more fields [1-2]. It covers the frequency range from 0.1-10 THz [2]. At THz regime, to achieve the high output ... Read More
The simplicity, reliability and low costs of electro-mechanical breakers have made them the workhorse for the interruption of low voltage short-circuit currents. In the presence of a short circuit, the contacts of the breaker heat up, and a bridge of molten metal forms between the pair ... Read More
Ultra-thin flexible glass with thicknesses of 100 µm or below is bendable and has superior surface properties (Figure 1). The current use in foldable displays of mobile devices gives an idea of the range of possible applications [1]. However, it requires dedicated handling and processing ... Read More
Microplasmas at atmospheric pressure are required in many applications, where treatments in normal ambient, with spatial resolution, are important. The interest on such miniaturized sources has increased due to the availability of a new generation of microwave sources based on high power ... Read More
When polypropylene (PP) is produced it contains impurities in the form of dissolved gasses. These gasses can be removed by heating the material (in the form of pellets in a silo) and flushing with plenty of fresh air. However, one of the gasses is C9, which is flammable. We built a model ... Read More
