Ultrasonic flow-cell reactors are used for many industrial applications, where fluid substrate is sonicated in a small region, where very high ultrasonic acoustic power is present. The electromechanical transducer (converter) that drive the sonotrode inside the flow-cell is designed in ... Read More
In view of an energy system based on fluctuating renewable sources, the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems plays a crucial role. In particular, large-scale underground water-based TES represent a promising solution as demonstrated by a number of cases currently being established ... 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
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in most countries worldwide for use in radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydro-mechanically (THM) coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based ... Read More
High-voltage power cables are vital components of power transmission systems. Submarine cables are critical power carriers between offshore wind farms and onshore ac grids. Moreover, underground cables are generally preferred over overhead installations in land applications, owing to ... Read More
In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... 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
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has become increasingly popular and efficient for welding both similar and dissimilar metallic materials. Despite its success in joining dissimilar materials, further development is necessary to meet industry ... Read More
The increasing demand for energy and the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in response to climate change have spurred the exploration of renewable energy sources. Energy Geostructures address these issues by providing at the same time mechanical support to overlying structures and ... Read More
Microarchitectured materials are generally made of different compounds bound at the microscopic level using a periodic pattern. This results in a macroscopic material with new properties arising from each of the individual compound properties and the way the microarchitecture binds them. ... Read More
