A Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Formulation for Optimizing Multi-Scale Material and Energy Integration

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Hür Ebuzer Bütün, Jean-Loup Sylvain Robineau

This research presents a mathematical formulation for optimizing integration of complex industrial systems from the level of unit operations to processes, entire plants, and finally to considering industrial symbiosis opportunities between plants. The fram ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects: Fast and Accurate

Venkat Kapil

Atomistic simulations are a bottom up approach that predict properties of materials by modelling the quantum mechanical behaviour of all electrons and nuclei present in a system. These simulations, however, routinely assume nuclei to be classical particles ...

Optimization methods and objective functions for analysis of metabolic network models

Zhaleh Hosseini

Computational studies of metabolism aim to systematically analyze the metabolic behaviour of biological systems in different conditions. Genome-scale metabolic network models (GEMs) capture the connection between elements of the network by applying stoichi ...

Hyperaccurate currents in stochastic thermodynamics

Daniel Maria Busiello

Thermodynamic observables of mesoscopic systems can be expressed as integrated empirical currents. Their fluctuations are bound by thermodynamic uncertainty relations. We introduce the hyperaccurate current as the integrated empirical current with the leas ...

A survey of the thermal and non-thermal properties of cosmic filaments

Claudio Gheller

In this paper, we exploit a large suite of ENZO cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations adopting uniform mesh resolution, to investigate the properties of cosmic filaments under different baryonic physics and magnetogenesis scenarios. We exploit an ...

Design and optimization of a high-temperature latent heat storage unit

Sophia Haussener, Ehsan Rezaei, Alberto Ortona, Maurizio Barbato

High-temperature latent heat thermal energy storage systems offer compact storage solutions, benefiting from the large latent heat of phase change materials. Common challenges in their design process are the low thermal conductivity of the phase change mat ...

Thermochemical Stability of Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

This contribution discusses the chemical stability of methylammonium (MA) halide perovskites (MAPbI(3), MAPbBr(3), and MAPbCl(3)); it considers degradation processes relevant for devices (vs T, O-2, H2O, voltage, illumination) by outlining their thermodyna ...

Large impact of strain on the electro-optic effect in (Ba, Sr)TiO3 thin films: Experiment and theoretical comparison

Alexander Tagantsev

(001)-epitaxial (Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 (BST) thin films with different magnitudes of compressive strain were fabricated on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition, and their electro-optic (EO) properties were characterized by modulation ellipsometry ...

Theoretical estimation of the linear electro-optic effect in compressively strained c-domain (Ba, Sr)TiO3 thin films using a phenomenological thermodynamic model

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev

The influence of compressive strain on the linear electro-optic (EO) effect in c-domain (BaxSr1-x)TiO3 (BST) thin films was theoretically investigated using a phenomenological thermodynamic model. We considered that the c-domain BST thin films were grown o ...

Two-Tone Optomechanical Instability and Its Fundamental Implications for Backaction-Evading Measurements

Tobias Kippenberg, Amir Youssefi, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

While quantum mechanics imposes a fundamental limit on the precision of interferometric measurementsof mechanical motion due to measurement backaction, the nonlinear nature of the coupling also leads toparametric instabilities that place practical limits o ...
