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 ... Read More
This study investigates the shock boundary layer interaction occurring at the base of a double sharp fin. The base geometry is of particular interest, with comparisons made between flat and semi-cylindrical bases. The flow field is characterized via numerical simulations and ... Read More
Thermal sterilization is a critical process in the food industry as it ensures the safety and shelf-life of food products for long-term preservation by eliminating all microorganisms and their spores from a food product. This process requires huge energy and water consumption, and ... Read More
Biomemebranes are characterized by several elastic parameters that appropriately describe the energetics of their deformation under thermal fluctuations [1]. When their structure is quasi-two-dimensional (namely lipid bilayer 4-5 nm thick), several recent studies [1,2] showed that their ... Read More
Package material for liquid food packages typically features a multilayered structure with paperboard as a core material and protective polymer layers towards the product and the ambient. Aseptic food packages require an additional barrier layer comprising a thin aluminum layer. Aluminum ... Read More
The current general context for green production and decarbonation prompts considering alternative solutions to produce high added value byproducts from gas decomposition without producing CO2. Steam Reforming or Combustion processes, widely applied in Industry, need H2O or O2 to ... Read More
Electrothermal actuators convert an electrical signal into a mechanical signal via Joule heating. Due to their simplicity and reliability, electrothermal actuators are commonly used in various fields across length scales: from human-scale soft robotics to nanometer-scale sensors. We ... Read More
A CO2 direct ocean capture system exploiting bipolar membrane (BPM) electrodialysis, gas-liquid contacter and pH-swing of the dissolved inorganic carbon species is designed for efficient and effective CO2 capture. COMSOL Multiphysics was used to study the BPM electrodialysis and CO2 ... Read More
During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... Read More
Condenser microphones will have an electrical output for any displacement of the membrane relative to the back plate, which is usually bound to the microphone housing. For the typical use case, a pressure input will create a pressure difference across the membrane, which causes a ... Read More
