Applications of mid-infrared photonic technologies are fueled by innovative advances in quantum cascade lasers, and other key optical components like MEMS gratings and fiber-optics. The integration of devices into optoelectronic packages for stable operation at high powers poses also ... En savoir plus
Damages caused by lightning overvoltages remains to be an important issue for electrical industry, putting limitations for efficiency of transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Modern solutions for lightning protection such as multichamber arresters (MCA) for overhead ... En savoir plus
Several experimental evidences show that macroscopic description of heat transfer phenomena in semiconductors through Fourier law is no longer accurate when the system length and time scales are comparable with the mean free path and relaxation time of the energy carriers (phonons). In ... En savoir plus
Thawing processes of raw tuna are widely used as a unit operation dedicated to the canning industry. At the industrial scale, the water immersion process remains the main relevant process for thawing large tuna fishes. The fish is then butchered and the flesh obtained is precooked before ...

Energy loss from fluids flowing across long distances presents a problem in many applications. In the oil and gas industry, for example, crude oil can change in viscosity when modest changes in temperature are realized. This can lead to added pumping power requirement and thus more heat ...

High temperature thermodynamic data are crucial for a wide variety of applications in nuclear and aeronautic domains as well as material production processes like glass formation or casting. Contactless acquisition methods are preferred to avoid chemical interactions with the container. ... En savoir plus
The blast furnace is a counter flow reactor to produce pig iron. The molten pig iron and byproduct slag are accumulated at the hearth of the furnace, from where they are tapped regularly. The blast furnace has to stay continuously in operation for many years to prevent solidification of ... En savoir plus
Cake batters are complex fat-in-water emulsions with four bulk phases (aqueous, fat, gas, and solid starch granules). The process of cake baking is very complex since a change in thermo-physical properties of batter take place during this process. The aim of this project is to develop an ... En savoir plus
Indoor thermal comfort has become a hot topic as energy saving raises the public attention. Accurate thermal flow prediction in an indoor environment and its influence on human provides a critical background to the development of comfort-providing yet energy-saving solutions. This study ...
