Thermal Performance of a Deviated Deep Borehole Heat Exchanger: Insights from a Synthetic Heat and Flow Model

M. Le Lous [1], F. Larroque [1], A. Dupuy [1], A. Moignard [2]
[1] ENSEGID, Bordeaux, France
[2] Fonroche Géothermie, Pau, France

Earth heat exchangers are drawing increasing attention and popularity due to their efficiency, sustainability and universality. In addition, DBHE can offer higher temperatures and more return on investment than conventional system. DBHE is also an alternative to geothermal power ... Read More

Scattering of mm-Waves by Turbulent Structures in Magnetically Confined Fusion Plasmas

O. Chellaï [1], S. Alberti [1], I. Furno [1], T. Goodman [1], M. Baquero [1]
[1] Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Suisse

In magnetically confined fusion devices, electron cyclotron resonance heating (80-170 GHz) is characterized by a local RF-power deposition at the electron cyclotron resonance [1]. A mm-wave RF Gaussian beam is launched from a dedicated antenna and propagates through the highly turbulent ... Read More

Study of Energy Transfer Mechanism for a Synchrotron X-ray Gas Absorber with COMSOL Multiphysics

A. Martín Ortega [1], Y. Dabin [1], T. Minea [2], A. Lacoste [3]
[1] ESRF, Grenoble, France
[2] LPGP, Université Paris-Sud XI, Orsay, France
[3] LPSC, Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France

The high power of X-ray beam delivered by synchrotrons and free electron lasers, up to 240 W/mm2, requires heat load management solutions to obtain the best performance from the optical elements which will shape the beam for its use in the experimental stations [1]. One solution is the ... Read More

Multiphysics Studies for the Micromegas Detector

E. Karentzos [1], T. Alexopoulos [2],
[1] National Technical University of Athens, CERN, Switzerland
[2] National Technical University of Athens, Greece

We present studies of the electric field configuration that guides the electrons to the strips through the mesh and its importance to the detector’s optimal operation. Furthermore, analysis of the gas propagation inside the chamber for different gas distribution schemes is discussed. All ... Read More

Lithic Hypar: New Frontiers in Structural Stone Research

D. Malomo [1], V. Varano [2],
[1] DICEA, University of Rome, Italy
[2] LAMS, University of Rome, Italy

The "Lithic Hypar" research is based on the mechanical analysis of an innovative reinforced stone's structure, architecturally designed by Prof. Fallacara, University of Bari (Italy): the headquarters entrance portal of the French company SNBR (Société Nouvelle Batiment Régional) located ...

Transient Model of a Fluorine Electrolysis Cell

J. Vukasin [1], I. Crassous [1], B. Morel [1], J. Sanchez-Marcano [2], P. Namy [3]
[1] HRP, AREVA NC, France
[2] Institut Européen des Membranes - CNRS, France
[3] Simtec, France

In the nuclear fuel cycle, fluorine is produced by the electrolysis of the molten salt KF-2HF. It is a complex process to study since hydrofluoric acid and fluorine are hazardous and highly corrosive. A 3D-model of a lab-scale fluorine electrolysis cell has been developed to increase ... Read More

Thermo-Mechanical Analysis and Fatigue Life Prediction for an Electronic Surface-Mount Device (SMD)

G. Petrone [1], C. Barbagallo [1], M. Scionti [1],
[1] BE CAE and Test, Catania, Italy

Electronic devices produce a very high rate of specific heat with respect to their dimensions. Exceeding in maximum safe operating temperature means strong reduction of efficiency, reliability and lifetime. In addition, electronic devices are subjected to periodical thermal loading. ... Read More

Copper Electroplating Parameters Optimization

L. M. A. Ferreira [1],
[1] CERN , Geneva, Switzerland

Aqueous based copper electroplating seems the most reliable, flexible, cost effective method to create a copper layer on stainless steel coupler devices; this however, doesn’t imply a straightforward application, as subcomponents geometry is complex and tolerances are tight. At CERN, two ... Read More
