This paper describes a dynamic model of a steam cavity receiver and presents results from simulations performed using this model in TRNSYS 16. The results are compared with experimental data to inform the calibration of specific model parameters. Using the experimental data obtained from the SG4 500 m2 dish at the ANU, it is possible to select a set of model parameters that produce good agreeme...

The survival rate of lung cancer can be significantly improved by monitoring biomarkers in exhaled air that indicate diseases in early stage, so it is very important to develop micro analytical systems which can offer a fast, on-site, real-time detecting biomarkers in exhaled air. In this paper, a mini-gas chromatography (GC)-photo-ionization detector (PID) system integrated with a micro GC col...

Cu₆Sn₅ whiskers precipitated in Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu/Cu interconnection in concentrator silicon solar cells solder layer were found and investigated after reflow soldering and during aging. Ag₃Sn fibers can be observed around Cu₆Sn₅ whiskers in the matrix microstructure, which can play an active effect on the reliability of interconnection. Different morphologies of Cu₆Sn₅ whiskers can be observed, and...

Preconcentration of biomolecules by electrokinetic trapping at the nano/microfluidic interface has been extensively studied due to its significant efficiency. Conventionally, sample preconcentration takes place in continuous flow and therefore suffers from diffusion and dispersion. Encapsulation of the preconcentrated sample into isolated droplets offers a superior way to preserve the sample co...
