Based on a multiscale approach, the in-home built Fortran code SIMFC allows for high-temperature fuel cell simulation from material intrinsic properties to system overall operation.

One third of the artichoke production is used in industrial processes, where up to 70% 85% of the initial raw material is transformed into solid wastes. For an adequate management of these wastes, it is necessary to know their water sorption properties, because physical, chemical and biological changes which occur during their storage depend on water-solid interactions. The objectives of this w...

A method to predict the ionic conductivity of LiPON solid electrolytes is presented which based on thermodynamic modelling formation oxynitride compounds in system Li 2 O–P O 5 –P 3 N .

For the pulsed electric field treatment of plant material on an industrial scale, Marx-type pulse modulators are used as a source. The combination conventional Marx generator design equipped with solid-state switches concept resonant charging via current-compensated chokes enables set-up having only one active semiconductor switch per stage. Thereby, shape is defined by passive components RLC-p...
