The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies requires finding new sources of energy. It turns out that the hydrothermal potential of the lakes would cover a significant part of these renewable energy needs. The existing Thermal Lacustrine Networks (TLNs) are efficient in summer ...

High-power THz TWTs of frequencies between 0.1THz to 0.3THz are being investigated for their use as amplifiers in ultra-broadband wireless communication systems, because of their high gain, high efficiency, wide bandwidth and high linearity. They have many other new emerging applications ... Read More
Nowadays, spot laser welding is a full-fledged part of industrial manufacturing and is routinely used due to its advantages. It generates very located temperature gradients, and therefore, induces small distortions in the pieces. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model the ... Read More
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is used as a noninvasive technique of tissue heating and ablation for different medical treatments. This paper presents a quantitative comparison of HIFU acoustic fields experimentally obtained versus simulated acoustic fields. Acoustic field ... Read More
Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a promising approach to achieve fusion conditions that relies on the heating of a magnetized plasma by the rapid compression of a magnetic flux conserver. The compression timescale must be significantly shorter than the plasma’s thermal confinement time, ... Read More
Liquid metals are foreseen as a multipurpose coolant in fusion blanket systems. However, the strongly magnetic environment of the fusion reactor hinders the regular flow of the liquid metal. It interacts with transverse magnetic field and produces a Lorentz force opposing the flow, ... Read More
Thermal sterilization is a critical process in the food industry as it ensures the safety and shelf-life of food products for long-term preservation by eliminating all microorganisms and their spores from a food product. This process requires huge energy and water consumption, and ... Read More
The bladeless centripetal flow turbomachinery or disc turbine was invented by Nikola Tesla with the aim to realize a turbine with higher efficiency and simplicity compared to the state of the art at that time. Unlike conventional turbines, the disc turbine does not use rotor blades. ... Read More
The Yellowstone Volcanic Complex (YVC) in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA) attracts intense geological interest, as it ranks as one of the largest active continental silicic volcanic fields worldwide. Despite extensive research on the region's high heat flow and abundant ... Read More
Microfluidics and Biosensors are two principal fields that paved the way for the inception of Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) which provides early and cost-effective disease detection, from monitoring to treatment. LOC is a device that uses very small amounts of fluid on a microchip to do certain ... Read More
