To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming below 2 K compared to pre-industrial level, significant energy savings in all fields of industries will be required. One example of energy intensive processes in industrial fabrication is heat treatment. The applied ... En savoir plus
A numerical model of laser welding process applied on highly optically reflective and thermally conductive materials such as copper has been developped. The latter considers multiphysical couplings of CFD, heat transfers and phase-field representation to account for topological ... En savoir plus
Ongoing engineering design studies at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are exploring the feasibility of converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. HFIR is a pressurized light water-cooled and moderated research ... En savoir plus
Studying the properties of nuclei produced in various types of nuclear reactions at accelerator facilities is challenged by small production yields and short half-lives of isotopes of interest, therefore making high efficiency and fast timing essential parameters of the experimental ...

The study of bentonite erosion mechanisms in fractures is a problem of maximum interest to understand the long-term performance of the engineered barrier in deep geological repositories of spent nuclear fuel. In this context, erosion due to shear by seeping water, sedimentation due to ... En savoir plus
Laser cutting process is usually employed in machining process, however it is also applied for dismantling nuclear facilities. Contrary to mechanical processes where tools wear out quickly and are often renewed, laser cutting process is a contactless approach, therefore there is no ... En savoir plus
This study focuses on the prediction of thermal comfort properties such as the heat transfer coefficient, and thermal resistance coefficient of textiles structures with additional ventilation. The input mass flow rate 0.2 dm3/min and 0.8 dm3/min were taken into account. It should be ... En savoir plus
In many medical and biotechnological applications, cells are grown in dynamic cell cultures. Usually, the cells are cultivated on a scaffold with a complex channel structure through which the nutrient fluid flows and into which the cells can grow. However, a known problem is that the ...

Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Heat Transfer Module, we calculated coupled heat and moisture transport to simulate the amount and distribution of condensed moisture in a train wall, with a special focus on the surface of thermal bridges. We tested two approaches to ... En savoir plus
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. ... En savoir plus
