Micro-transfer printing (MTP) enables mass-transfer of wafer-level chips having lateral dimensions ranging from 3 x 7 um to 650 x 650 um to a nonnative substrate. This is accomplished with an elastomeric stamp containing micrometer scale posts that have been precisely defined using ... En savoir plus
Elastocaloric heating/cooling takes advantage of the structural changes in shape memory alloys (SMAs) that release and absorb heat when a strain is applied over a transition temperature. Heating/cooling cycles that use SMAs offer a potential solution to issues associated with the use of ... En savoir plus
Offshore operations, using Robotically Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in areas with high ambient temperatures require ampacity limitations to be established. Specifically, the risk of overheating ROV umbilicals and tethers when running at high power, due to multiple layers on winch drums is a ... En savoir plus
Innovative materials, such as ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced-concrete (UHP-FRC), provide an opportunity to reduce building energy loss by developing energy-efficient facade panels. However, investigating the thermal performance of these façade systems without considering the ... En savoir plus
Electricity has become the main source of heat, power, and light used in the modern world. Much of the technological advances made over the last few decades are due to electrical energy. One of the essential components of the electrical system is the grounding network. The continuous ... En savoir plus
A pressurizer is a specialized vessel used to regulate pressure in the primary coolant loop of pressurized light water nuclear reactors (PWRs). During normal operation heat lost to the surrounding environment is replaced by heating coils in the pressurizer tank to maintain system ... En savoir plus
With the evolving trend of electrification in transportation, electric machines with higher power density and higher efficiency are demanded which results in the thermal limit of the stator winding becoming more of a key constraint. The achievable current density in stator windings is ... En savoir plus
Smouldering is flameless combustion which depends on an exothermic surface reaction occurring within a porous medium. It is harnessed by engineers to destroy organic liquid wastes in soil as the technology Self-sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STAR). During this remediation ... En savoir plus
Laser Powered Homogenous Pyrolysis (LPHP), a non-isothermal wall-less plug flow reactor using cw-IR CO2 laser heating by fast vibrational–translational (V–T) energy transfer, is a common technique for high temperature pyrolysis in the gas phase with minimal catalytic effect of hot ...

Photovoltaic (PV) devices on its operational life are exposed to the action of environmental conditions, which can produce damage either chemically or mechanically. For this reason, traditional PV panels are made of different materials including glass, encapsulant, solar cells, backsheet ... En savoir plus
