The current and energy transfer to cathodes of vacuum arcs usually occurs in bright, narrow regions, known as cathode spots. Owing to extreme conditions in these spots, the cathode surface is eroded: electrode material is vaporized, and craters and molten metal jets are formed. The study ... Read More
In the nuclear fuel industry, the dry conversion process is employed to transform crystalline UF6 to UO2 powder, in order to produce fuel pellets. The quality of the finished product highly depends on the process input parameters, and it is imperative to understand accurately the full ... Read More
Thermal runaway (TR) is a critical safety hazard in lithium-ion battery systems, particularly in large energy storage installations and electric transportation applications. TR occurs when the cell temperature exceeds a certain threshold value, triggering a series of exothermic ... Read More
Balises are an essential part of pointwise train control systems ensuring the operational safety. Combined with a corresponding onboard unit, it represents an inductive transponder system (Fig. 1). During a crossing, the balise is activated by the 27 MHz magnetic field of the vehicle ... Read More
Abstract In this work, the positive enhancing effect of conductive polyaniline (PANI) as an interfacial core-shell layer coated over a piezoelectrically active barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles on the output electro-elastic properties (relative dielectric constant, piezoelectric co ... Read More
The reversible storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides represents an attractive technology for hydrogen-based energy systems. In addition to their application as pure hydrogen storage media, metal hydrides can also be used to develop thermochemical hydrogen compressors, which can be ... Read More
As the global energy transition accelerates, large-scale seasonal thermal energy storage systems are becoming critical components of future sustainable and resilient district heating networks. Among various storage technologies, cavern thermal energy storage (CTES) offers a promising ... Read More
Nuclear fusion represents a promising solution for providing clean and sustainable energy. However, to support fusion reactions, tritium, a rare isotope, must be continuously produced within the reactor. Breeding blankets, which surround the plasma, produce this tritium. These components ... Read More
Reactive transport modelling in subsurface environments, such as geological disposal of radioactive waste, often requires complex coupling between transport phenomena and geochemical reactions. Traditionally, this coupling requires third-party tools such as iCP to link multiphysics ... Read More
High-voltage (HV) power cables are vital components of modern electrical infrastructure, enabling power transmission over long distances with lower environmental footprint compared to overhead lines, i.e., improved visual impact, better biodiversity aspects and minimal wildfire risk. ... Read More
