Blade-tip clearance and turbine inlet temperature are critical efficiency parameters in turbomachinery design. Smaller clearances reduce leakage losses, but increase the risk of rubs between blades and the casing. Higher operating temperatures improve efficiency, but reduce the finite ... Read More
Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) is a solid-state additive manufacturing process capable of producing structural repairs with mechanical properties approaching those of wrought material, making it particularly attractive for restoring damaged aerospace components such as those ... Read More
The transition to glass-core PCB substrates is driven largely by electrical advantages — low dielectric loss, CTE match to silicon. The glass substrate itself is a substantially better thermal conductor compared to FR-4 epoxy (kglass ≈ 1.4 W/m·K vs. kFR4 ≈ 0.3 W/m·K), producing broader ... Read More
Compacted bentonite is widely investigated as an engineered buffer material for deep geological disposal systems because of its low hydraulic conductivity, swelling capacity, and self-sealing behavior. Under elevated temperatures, unsaturated bentonite buffers may undergo coupled thermo ... Read More
Among the different uses of primary energy in the industrial and residential sectors, refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume around 17% of the electricity produced worldwide [1], reaching dissipated powers of approximately 2000 TWh [2]. These devices are based on the vapor ... 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
Solid-state magnetic refrigeration near room temperature, based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), is being investigated as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional vapor-compression systems (responsible for the 7.8% of greenhouse gas emissions) [1] [2], ... Read More
Germanium-tin (Ge₁₋ₓSnₓ) microdisks are emerging as a promising platform for CMOS-compatible group-IV light sources due to their tunable direct bandgap and compatibility with silicon photonics. Their optical and electronic properties are critically influenced by tin concentration, strain ... Read More
