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
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
Quantum heat engines (QHEs) perform a thermodynamic cycle by exchanging heat between a hot and a cold reservoir employing quantum systems as the working medium. Such thermoelectric generators could theoretically reach Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency due to the excellent properties of the ... 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
Calibration drift of temperature sensors is a well-known problem which adversely affects process control, particularly at high temperatures. Some new approaches are being developed [1,2], but degradation of resistive sensor elements is hard to prevent. To overcome this, graphene, which ... Read More
The increasing integration of power electronics into airborne systems drives the need for compact, efficient, and thermally robust solutions that comply with the demanding constraints of the aeronautical environment. In this context, planar transformers offer significant advantages, ... Read More
Introduction: Polymer materials are increasingly used in machine elements such as seals and plain bearings. In particular, PEEK has gained attention for use in wind turbine applications due to its strength and resistance to harsh operating conditions. However, its low thermal ... Read More
The thermoelectric response of a nanoscale device can be characterized by measuring either the open-circuit thermovoltage or the closed-circuit thermocurrent. While theoretically equivalent through the device's conductance, the thermocurrent measurement offers significant practical ... Read More
