Since the mid-1980s micro-resistivity imagers have provided borehole images using pad-type resistivity measurements. Geological features can be identified from borehole-image data, leading to improved reservoir characterisation and formation evaluation. Based either on conductive or ... Read More
The transport sector is one of the largest emitters of climate-effecting emissions. Thus, a major transformation in this sector is necessary to achieve Germanys and EUs ambitious goals of CO2 neutrality. In these transitions, fossil fuel-based engines will be replaced by sustainable ... Read More
Heterogeneous photocatalysis an advanced oxidation process (AOP) which in combination with a catalyst and UV irradiation completely mineralizes organic pollutants from water or gases into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photocatalysis as a process is ... Read More
Geological repository for highly radioactive waste disposal is a system of engineered and natural barriers. The objective of this system is to contain and isolate waste and protect the environment and humans from ionizing radiation. For the evaluation of performance of engineered ... Read More
In this study, we attempted to develop a simulation to better understand the kinetic of the dye regeneration process in photoanodes of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). For that purpose, a numerical model was developed using finite element simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The ... Read More
The high heat loads intrinsically associated with high-energy, high repetition rate laser systems require sophisticated thermal management analyses to minimise the impact of thermal effects on optical performance. Non-uniform heat deposition in optical elements can lead to the onset of ... Read More
Re-crystallisation of Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys in a floating zone (FZ) optical furnace is a complex problem that depends not only on the compositions of the master alloy and a seed crystal but on the growth speed and evolution of the molten zone shape during the crystal growth process. We ... Read More
Convective drying of fruits and vegetables is a widely used preservation method and serves to reduce food waste, to make them available off-season and to reduce weight-related transport costs. However, the high energy consumption and impact of the process set-up and process settings on ... Read More
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 ... Read More
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 ... Read More
