Energy generation from sunlight is a cornerstone of the renewable energy future. In this context, photovoltaic (PV) modules, particularly those based on silicon, play a central role. However, the lack of circularity in the PV industry could lead to millions of tons of PV waste worldwide ... Read More
The stellarator concept developed by Renaissance Fusion makes use of a lithium free surface flow surrounding the plasma fusion core. Understanding the instability mechanism of this flow is of primary importance for controlling it. We use COMSOL Multiphysics® to solve the 1D linear ... Read More
Induction heating (IH) [1] is a good candidate for decarbonization of chemical processes: energy savings, process intensification and production costs reduction [2-5]. Heat can be generated directly into the reactor at the surface in contact with the gas flux passing through a specific ... Read More
Integrating exothermic and endothermic reactions within a single reactor offers a promising strategy to enhance overall thermal efficiency. However, existing systems often suffer from limited heat transfer performance due to design and heat transfer constraints. To overcome this ... Read More
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a major choice for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and high charging efficiency. While LIBs play a crucial role in meeting global energy demand, during long-term operation they undergo ... Read More
Plasma torches are essential components in high-temperature applications such as plasma gasification, where stable and focused energy delivery is critical for the efficient conversion of waste into syngas. A key challenge in these systems lies in understanding and optimizing the gas ... Read More
Maritime transport contributes to about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are considered among the most promising clean technologies for decarbonizing the maritime sector. Some of the main benefits of PEM fuel cells include highly efficient ... Read More
