Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors (AGRs), owned and operated by EDF Energy, generate around 15% of electrical power in the UK. As AGRs approach their end of life, cracking is liable to occur in the graphite bricks which make up a major part of the reactor core. Safety cases to justify ... Read More
Surface engineering is a key technology used in a wide range of sectors in industry. Among other techniques, it involves adding functionality to a surface. This can be performed by creating a specific topography to a surface using laser texturing. In this paper, the focus is on ... Read More
In a hydraulic manifold block for construction machinery, spool valves are used to control the movement of the machine. Spool valves have two elements: a cylindrical barrel hole (1) in which a spool (2) slides. By moving the spool in the barrel hole, apertures open and close which ... Read More
Noble gasses such as argon and helium are utilized within In Gas Laser Ionization and Spectroscopy (IGLIS) [1] and Ion Guide Isotope Separation On-Line (IGISOL) [2] techniques to thermalize and transport the nuclear reactions products, which often have short lifetimes and small ... Read More
The development of new experimental techniques designed to measure the thermal response of semiconductors at reduced length and time scales is revealing the requirement of generalized heat transport models beyond the classical Fourier law [1,2]. We present the Kinetic Collective ... Read More
The efforts to integrate and/or expand the renewables into the overall energy scheme are drastically increasing in Europe. This integration might somehow alter the energy scheme resulting into shortcomings (e.g. security of supply is not met). Therefore, a number of strategies and ... Read More
Optimization by means of computational tools has been stunningly useful for different industrial furnaces. However, the complexity of the equations, the wide range of characteristic times in the process, and the difficulty to extract precise enough data to model a combustion chamber ... Read More
Spray drying is one of the most commonly used methods to produce a powder out of a liquid and is widely used in the food industry. During spray drying, the liquid is atomised into hot air and dried in the drying chamber within seconds to minutes. The residence time, which is the contact ... Read More
Whereas the physic models of fluid lubrication should be able to provide quantitative predictions to industrial problems, it is somehow demanding to provide the input data to feed these high-level equation systems. The operating conditions are generally available, and the material ... Read More
This presentation concerns a novel technique ("Indentation Plastometry") for the rapid and versatile measurement of the plasticity and strength characteristics of metallic materials using indentation data. The methodology has recently been developed by former scientists from the ... Read More
