The performance and rechargeability of zinc-air batteries are found to be significantly influenced by the microstructure of the zinc anode [1]. It is evident that features such as porosity, connectivity, and spatial distribution of solid phases exert a considerable influence on ionic ... Read More
Modelling solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCS), involves these complex physicochemical interactions: electrochemical reactions, fluid flow, heat transfer, and charge carrier transport inside porous microstructures. The existing models often do simplify the electrodes structures and decouple the ... Read More
Thermal flow meters represent a vast range of sensors for applications in oil and gas, sustainable energy, food and medical care markets, where precise control of the mass flow is required. As a part of the MEMS production process, testing is performed after product assembly. Due to high ... Read More
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising photovoltaic technology but their performance remains limited by incomplete absorption of incident photons, primarily due to reflection at the transparent front electrode [1]. To address this issue, interface engineering with graphene-based ... Read More
In various industries (nuclear power plants, furnaces, …), heat transfer by radiation can occur between many geometrically ordered tubes. Such configurations are challenging and heavy to solve numerically, because of both the nonlinearities of the radiant exitance, and the fact that ... Read More
The release of hydrogen from Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) is a highly volume-expanding, multiphase reaction with a high heat demand [1]. Platinum on porous alumina support is used as the catalyst for dehydrogenation. Since reactor design requires a deep understanding of the ... Read More
During the last three decades, lithium-ion batteries have become the choice of power source for most portable electronic devices. During a discharge process, intercalated lithium, which is initially stored in the anode, de-intercalates, diffuses out in the electrolyte, reaches the ... Read More
For many years now, numerical simulations allow to calculate and predict processes in many fields such as natural sciences, engineering, and economics. To do this, models of the system under consideration are created and animated using equations based on first principles of physics, e.g. ... 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
Porous three-dimensional electrodes are promising for use in alkaline electrolyzer due to their high surface area. Nickel foams, specifically, serve a dual purpose as both a current collector and an active working electrode, enhancing current density and boosting hydrogen production[1]. ... Read More
