The Z-pinch (or zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system used in fusion power research. It relies on an electric current discharge within the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses the plasma, creating conditions conducive to nuclear fusion. The concept of Z-pinch ...

Splitting a 3D model into two coupled components can increase performance [1]. Two offshore applications with the AC/DC module and the heat transfer module are presented, but the approach is general. The examples simulate the hotspot temperature in a three core cable with cross-sectional ... En savoir plus
The Bridgman process is used in the production of single crystal superalloys for use in high temperature applications. The mechanical properties of these superalloys are strongly influenced by the microstructure that is formed during the solidification. The formation of the ... En savoir plus
The modelling of the optical and thermal response of translucent composite materials submitted to a high-energy laser irradiation is very complex, as glass fibers-reinforced polymers are highly heat-sensitive and their physical behavior dramatically changes at high temperatures. All ... En savoir plus
Angular contact ball bearings (ACBB) are rolling bearings designed to support both axial and radial loads. The rolling elements (balls in this case) significantly decrease the power losses associated with rotating load bearing by replacing sliding with rolling. However, both the specific ...

The activity focuses on improving the overall performance and design of a small-sized heat exchanger. This heat exchanger is designed to raise the temperature of a fluid (water), using tubular electric heaters. The device consists of a steel case with two hydraulic connections for fluid ...

The Yellowstone Volcanic Complex (YVC) in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA) attracts intense geological interest, as it ranks as one of the largest active continental silicic volcanic fields worldwide. Despite extensive research on the region's high heat flow and abundant ... En savoir plus
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the most beneficial manufacturing methods for its precision and ability to create parts with complex geometry, although high thermal gradient due to the considerable temperature difference between ambient and peak temperature appeared during laser ...

In the development of advanced welding torches, a significant challenge lies in optimizing design and performance while minimizing costs and environmental impact. Traditionally, this has involved extensive physical testing, which is both time-consuming and resource-intensive. To address ... En savoir plus
Present work is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, which aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon-emission friendly technology. The silicon production experiments are conducted on laboratory and pilot scales in ... En savoir plus
