Investigation on Quiet Zones Created by Remote Impedance Control

T. Laurence [1], R. Boulandet [1], H. Lissek [1],
[1] LTS2 - Acoustics Group, EPFL, Switzerland

Quiet zones and other sound zones have been a strong topic of research for some time, due to the interest of creating separate sound environments in a same room, in a large open-space office for example. A number of solutions have been proposed over the last years. This paper further ... Read More

Characterization of Biochemical and Physical Parameters of a Skin Equivalent in a Two-Organ-Chip

[1] Institute of Bioprocess- and Biosystems Engineering, Hamburg, Germany
[2] Department of Biotechnology, Berlin, Germany and TissUse GmbH, Berlin, Germany
[3] TissUse GmbH, Berlin, Germany

Background and novelty Organ-on-a-chip-systems represent a powerful alternative to substance testing in animal trials. The basic idea behind this approach is to emulate the smallest physiological unit of an organ on a chip. For this purpose, micro-environments must be created, that ... Read More

Bioheat Dissipation of a Implantable Brain-Machine Interface

J. M. Herrera Morales [1],
[1] Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering, Switzerland

Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) provide a direct communication link between brain and external devices such as speech synthesizers and robotic prosthesis to restore speech and movement in persons affected by Spinal Cord Injuries or neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral ...

Flow Optimization of a MVHR Combined with an Exhaust Air Heat Pump by Means of CFD Simulation

F. Ochs [1], M. Bianchi Janetti [1], M. Romani [2],
[1] University of Innsbruck, Unit Energy Efficient Buildings, Austria
[2] Galletti Group, Italy

In the framework of the Austrian FFG project SaLüΗ!, a compact mechanical ventilation system with integrated micro-heat pump was developed. The aim was a high level of prefabrication and a compact design allowing for installation also in small flats, e.g. into the façade. Due to the ... Read More

Modeling Approach to Facilitate Thermal Energy Management with Phase Change Materials (PCM)

D. Rubinetti [1], D. A. Weiss [1], A. Chaudhuri [2], D. Kraniotis [2],
[1] Institute of Thermal and Fluid-Engineering, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland
[2] Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway

Thermal energy storage systems receive notable attention within the framework of energy management due to their ability of bridging thermal energy demand and supply, thus leading to an overall efficiency increase. The key component in such systems are materials which convert ... Read More

Modeling the Catalytic Conversion of Steel Mill Gases Using the Example of Methanol Synthesis

S. Schlüter [1], T. Hennig [1],
[1] Fraunhofer UMSICHT, Oberhausen, Germany

The conversion of steel mill off-gases to base chemicals is a promising perspective to improve the financial return of steelmaking in Europe and fight CO2 emissions. In the Carbon2Chem® joint research project, mathematical models are developed to simulate operation scenarios of cross ... Read More

Use of COMSOL® AC/DC Module to Model a EM Sensor Deployed to Monitor Steel Transformation

J. Shen [1], W. Jacobs [1], L. Zhou [1], P. Hunt [2], C. Davis [1],
[1] Advanced Steel Research Centre, WMG, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
[2] Primetals Technology Limited, Christchurch, UK

Real-time microstructure monitoring is important during the cooling process for hot-rolled strip steel production, as the microstructure formed determines the mechanical properties required by customers. The materials magnetic and electric properties, relative permeability and ... Read More

Simulation of Quench Behaviour of the 11 T Superconducting Dipole for HL-LHC

M. Mentink [1], B. Auchmann [1], L. Bortot [1], M. Maciejewski [1], Marco Prioli [1], E. Ravaioli [1], E. Stubberud [1], A. Verweij [1],
[1] CERN, Switzerland

As part of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider a number of magnets is to be installed for the purpose of enhancing the performance of the Large Hadron Collider. The 11 T superconducting dipole is a magnet type that utilizes the Nb3Sn superconductor. A number of these magnets will ... Read More

Simulation of a Multicomponent Trace Gas Electric Swing Adsorption

C. Geitner [1],
[1] Fraunhofer institute, Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Introduction: Electric swing adsorption is a promising technique for energy efficient gas cleaning and adsorbate recovery. Contrary to state of the art temperature swing and pressure swing adsorption, one can control the mass flow independently of the heat flow for desorption in an ... Read More

Determination of Constitutive Properties Using DIC-Displacement Data and U-FEM
