The IR CO2 laser powered chemical conversions in the gas phase are intriguing and the researchers’ attention was focused on this transformation a while ago. The method, known as Infrared Laser Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis, or IR LPHP opened reaction pathways not reached by conventional ... Read More

Modeling a Concentrated Solar Thermal Collector for Methane Dry Reforming

S. Verma [1], N. Hotz [1],
[1] Duke University, Durham, NC, USA

Hydrogen has great potential to be the fuel of the future through utilization in fuel cells, but it is rarely found naturally and must be produced in energy-intensive processes. Steam reforming, the process of heating natural gas and steam in the presence of a catalyst to drive a ... Read More

Impact of the Forces due to CLIQ Discharges on the New HL-LHC Beam Screen

M. Morrone [1], C. Garion [1],
[1] CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

In the framework of the high luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) project, important upgrades will take place by 2024 including the installation of new superconducting magnets in which new beam screens will be placed. The beam screen is an octagonally shaped pipe inserted into the ... Read More
