Excilamps are artificial Ultraviolet sources based on the emission of excimers or exciplexes. The latter are excited states of weakly bound rare gas or halide/rare gas atoms which emit a photon in the UV region when they dissociate. Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) excilamps are ... Read More
A beneficial method for transporting highly viscous hydrocarbons (e.g. heavy oil and bitumen) through a pipeline is known as Lubricated Pipe Flow (LPF). A major challenge for this technology is flow instability caused by the formation of a wall-coating of oil or the thinning and/or loss ... Read More
A 2D transient heat conduction model was created in COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate temperature changes in material irradiated by a KrF laser beam confined on silicon’s surface. In this paper, the obtained results are shown and discussed in case of bulk Silicon. The heat source is ... Read More
A 2nd-generation irradiation target holder is being developed at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This 2nd-generation holder design is focused on improving the loading and unloading of the targets by the HFIR operators since a large number of ... Read More
The main mechanisms of acoustic attenuation in a bundle of fibres typical of lightweight fibrous porous materials are the dynamic viscous drag forces on the surface of the fibres, and the thermal heat transfer between the solid fibres and the surrounding fluid. Microstructure models ... Read More
Reynolds Numbers effect: In the first bend, the higher the Reynolds number, the longer the first pair of vorticities stays attached to the wall. In the second bend, the higher Reynolds Numbers, the secondary flow from the first bend dominates. Curvature Radius effect: The smaller the ... Read More
Chemicals are an integrated part of our daily life. While chemicals are significant contributor to a nation’s economy, sound management of chemical production is essential for environmentally friendly operation without maximizing operational costs. Next generation technologies must be ... Read More
Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) methods, like Electron Beam Sintering (EBS), constitute an interesting process concerning the production of small series and customized products. However, transient effects occur during processing due to the different physical principles of an electron ... Read More
Plasma gasification of biomass is emerging as an efficient way to reduce the carbon foot print of waste management while producing renewable energy. In general, gasification processes heats waste to a temperature at which it is partially ionized and converted to synthesis gas (syngas). A ... Read More
The machining of hardened steel or powder metallurgical steel, for example to manufacture impact extrusion punches, is a big challenge for conventional machining technology as milling or turning. A non-conventional machining technology is Electrochemical Machining (ECM), which allows ... Read More
