Reactor Dynamics Investigation Based On Calorimetric Data

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Charles Ibrahim Guinand, Michal Dabros

A simple and general procedure has been developed to determine the thermal behaviour of a reactor based on heat balance, PID temperature control, and jacket behaviour. Using only temperature heating/cooling ramps followed by isothermal stages, such a proce ...

Not if, but when? Simulating the impact of timing the nuclear phase-out in Switzerland

Matthias Finger, Reinier Verhoog, Paul Adrianus Van Baal

Swiss electricity companies are faced with uncertainty with regards to the future operation of nuclear power plants in the country. After Fukushima in 2011, the government decided on a gradual phase-out, but only provided a tentative planning. Hence, no ne ...

Effect of reactor material and its reuse on photo-Fenton process efficiency at near-neutral pH: Alterations in E-coli inactivation and resorcinol degradation kinetics in water

Stefanos Giannakis, Angelica Varon Lopez

The effect of reactor material (borosilicate and polyethylene terephthalate-PET) and its reuse on the microbiological and chemical decontamination of water by the photo-Fenton reaction at near-neutral pH was assessed. Escherichia coli was used as an indica ...

Assessment of solvent capsule-based healing for woven fibre-reinforced epoxies

Erica Manfredi

Structural fibre-reinforced composites based on brittle matrices such as epoxy resins may be subject to short-term subcritical matrix damage that develops with time to the point where it may compromise the integrity of the structure. Currently, components ...

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase inhibition reduces intraplaque CXCL1 production and associated neutrophil infiltration in atherosclerotic mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Katia Galan, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva

Pharmacological treatments targeting CXC chemokines and the associated neutrophil activation and recruitment into atherosclerotic plaques hold promise for treating cardiovascular disorders. Therefore, we investigated whether FK866, a nicotinamide phosphori ...

Multi-injection microstructured reactor for intensification of fast exothermic reactions: proof of concept

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Quasi-instantaneous exothermic reactions lead to the formation of unwanted hot spots even when carried out in conventional microstructured reactors (MSR) with tube diameter of 100 − 1000 μm. For this reason, alternative MSR designs are warranted to enable ...
