In recent years, the single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) has been the most suitable choice for electric vehicles of the wheel and touchless type. The reason is simplicity in manufacturing, capability in applying direct force, moving and braking and low pollution. To study the ... Read More
A mathematical model for the simulation of contaminant such as heavy metals removal from soils by electric fields was performed in a 2-D geometry using COMSOL Multiphysics. Electrokinetic phenomena is the result of the coupling between hydraulic and electrical potential gradients in ... Read More
The WaveEL buoy developed by the company Waves4power is characterized as a point absorber and has a 36 meters long vertical cylinder where a water-piston is oscillating due to induced motion from the waves. Estimating the wave loads on the piston is a challenge due to the presence of ... Read More
Sustainable wastewater management has stimulated the exploration of innovative technologies, such as electrochemical nutrient recovery, which promises efficient recovery and reuse of vital nutrients, reducing environmental impacts and resource wastage. This study presents the modeling of ... Read More
Problem Description Sorption heat storage systems are attracting growing interest due to their high energy density and loss-free heat storage capability, making them a promising solution for storing surplus solar energy in summer for use in winter in residential buildings. However, these ... Read More
Experts in the industry are seeing glass substrates as a promising alternative material for interposers, particularly for heterogeneous packaging such as 2.5D or 3D packages [1]. Recently, Intel revealed that they have developed one of the industry's first substrates specifically ... Read More
A Tesla valve has a fixed geometry and its purpose is to be a check valve. This valve is named after its inventor Nikola Tesla and the patent to this has been published in the year 1920 [1]. In the reverse direction, the flow resistance is higher compared to the flow resistance in ... Read More
Metal foams are interesting materials with many potential uses. They are characterized by a cellular structure represented by a metal (or a metal alloy) and gas voids inside. A common metallic cellular material is a solid sponge, also known as open-cell metal foam. Due to their intrinsic ... Read More
The current and energy transfer to cathodes of vacuum arcs usually occurs in bright, narrow regions, known as cathode spots. Owing to extreme conditions in these spots, the cathode surface is eroded: electrode material is vaporized, and craters and molten metal jets are formed. The study ... Read More
