The renewable energy sector faces challenges in production processes due to geo-economic, and environmental issues. This had led to an increased interest in the use of solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuel based energy sources. In the solar energy field, significant research ... Read More
The study of light scattering by optically resonant nanostructures is a field of growing interest as a result of the rapid progress in nanophotonics in the last decade. Contrary to their plasmonic counterparts, high-index dielectric structures exhibit low optical losses and different ... Read More
Oil-water separators play an important role in several industries as well as in waste water treatment. However, no basic principles have been set to guarantee the designed separators would work according to the desired efficiency due to the effect various factors. Both time and money ... Read More
Currently insulation has been and will in future be applied to many buildings. This proves to be a challenge for monumental or old buildings. Mostly insulation has to be applied at the interior side of a building. That is why hygro-thermal bridges are inevitable. A wooden beam end beared ... Read More
Analytical methods used for inductance calculation of toroidal coils yield large errors in the case of coils sparsely wound on low permeability cores. Numerical field calculations can provide “exact” figures. We have outlined several simulation methods. Simplifications, assumptions, and ... Read More
In general, seamount magnetic modeling assumes uniform magnetization for the entire construct. The following geologic obervations are often not considered: 1. The internal structure composed of multiple volcanic layers, and 2. Remanent magnetization gained during the magnetic polarity ... Read More
Soft robotics is an emerging research field that is rapidly expanding as soft robots are adaptable, reliable, and intrinsically safe. While the behavior of robots composed of rigid links, joints, and actuators can be easily described with classical mechanics modeling methods, modeling ... Read More
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
Radiant heating generally addresses all heat emission systems having a share of radiant heat emission greater than 50%, compared to a convector or fan coil where the heat is transferred mainly by means of convection. Recently, so-called infrared-heating systems are discussed as a cost ... Read More
Energy performances and building energy quality can be achieved by high performance envelopes. In this paper the thermal performance of a naturally ventilated façade, applied to a traditional wall, widely used in existing buildings, was investigated by a transient simulation. A ... Read More
