Flexible electronic devices are very sensitive against the ingress of oxygen and water vapor from the atmosphere and therefore have to be protected by encapsulation with high barrier films. Such films contain several polymeric or inorganic layers which are deposited from the liquid or ... 詳細を見る

Scientists and engineers have been designing and developing computational tools for the numerical simulation of heat transfer processes involving non-conventional heating or cooling effects for several years. Caloric effects rely on temperature variations upon external stimuli, e.g. ... 詳細を見る

Material constants are required to develop new materials for the aerospace, automotive and energy industries. With these highly accurate experimentally determined data, complex metallurgical melting processes can be simulated later, for example. The microstructure of the new alloy can be ... 詳細を見る

Flows in thin tubes arise in a wide variety of contexts like microfluidics and flows in blood vessels. Stationary laminar incompressible viscous flows in a thin tube were studied empirically and theoretically in the nineteenth century. They are described by the stationary Poiseuille ... 詳細を見る

EDF Energy use an Eddy Current Inspection Tool (ECIT) to test the properties of graphite bricks in the cores of UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs). The tool comprises a coil containing an alternating current which generates a magnetic field, inducing eddy currents within the nearby ... 詳細を見る

Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors (AGRs), owned and operated by EDF Energy, generate around 15% of electrical power in the UK. As AGRs approach their end of life, cracking is liable to occur in the graphite bricks which make up a major part of the reactor core. Safety cases to justify ... 詳細を見る

Surface engineering is a key technology used in a wide range of sectors in industry. Among other techniques, it involves adding functionality to a surface. This can be performed by creating a specific topography to a surface using laser texturing. In this paper, the focus is on ... 詳細を見る

In a hydraulic manifold block for construction machinery, spool valves are used to control the movement of the machine. Spool valves have two elements: a cylindrical barrel hole (1) in which a spool (2) slides. By moving the spool in the barrel hole, apertures open and close which ... 詳細を見る

Noble gasses such as argon and helium are utilized within In Gas Laser Ionization and Spectroscopy (IGLIS) [1] and Ion Guide Isotope Separation On-Line (IGISOL) [2] techniques to thermalize and transport the nuclear reactions products, which often have short lifetimes and small ... 詳細を見る

The development of new experimental techniques designed to measure the thermal response of semiconductors at reduced length and time scales is revealing the requirement of generalized heat transport models beyond the classical Fourier law [1,2]. We present the Kinetic Collective ... 詳細を見る
