Dielectric heating is an important, widely employed electromagnetic heating technology utilized by consumers, small businesses and industry. This model is used to explore the physical differences manifested when different frequencies are utilized to execute the heat generation process on ... Read More

Increased light scattering have been found to improve the short-circuit current of photovoltaic devices. In this paper we have tried to optimize the dimensions of ZnO nanorods to achieve this. Scattering efficiency of these nanorods was evaluated by solving Maxwell’s electromagnetic ... Read More

Microwave heating is an important process for many commercial, industrial and household applications. In microwave heating applications, the energy is introduced directly into the volume of the material. As a consequence the quality of the process is highly dependent on the uniformity of ...

This paper presents the modeling of interaction between terahertz radiation and human skin. By doing so, we can differentiate between the healthy skin and the cancerous skin (BCC). We set a square region as the cancerous skin, surrounded by the healthy skin. Since the biological tissues ... Read More

In this paper, all optical microring resonator based on Lithium Niobate on Insulator (LNOI) has been proposed. LNOI has high refractive index contrast and also show better electro-optic & acousto-optic effects. The optical ring resonator resonates when the optical path-length of the ... Read More

The study of light scattering by optically resonant nanostructures is a field of growing interest as a result of the rapid progress in nanophotonics in the last decade. Contrary to their plasmonic counterparts, high-index dielectric structures exhibit low optical losses and different ... Read More

Various types of FI-Relays are built in electrical protective residual current devices (RCD). They are all electromechanical assemblies that trip at appearance of residual currents (i.e. fault or earth leakage current) and consequently break main contacts of RCD. FI relays are very ... Read More

While low frequency light is poorly transmitted through an aperture in a conductive thin film, in the phenomenon known as extraordinary optical transmission (EOT), a narrow band of selected frequencies are transmitted when incident on an array of subwavelength periodic apertures where ...

The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ... Read More

This work presents an alternative method for curing cork stoppers based on microwave radiation, which is energetically more efficient, where it is possible to accelerate the reaction rate and therefore reduce the cure time comparatively with conventional curing methods. The microwave ... Read More
