Engineered surfaces for enhancement of boiling heat transfer in two-phase heat exchangers – NUCLEI
The scientific objective of NUCLEI is to make a breakthrough in understanding fundamental mechanisms of nucleation at sub-micron scale in order to rationally design and develop innovative heat exchangers with enhanced boiling heat transfer characteristics that minimize the energy demand. The influence of topographic and chemical features on the boiling process and especially on the incipience of the bubbles will be methodically studied.
Industrial development of an innovative storage and preservation of wood by controlling the temperature and humidity. – COOLWOOD
The research project "CoolWood" aims to develop an innovative conservation of wood material for optimum support of its quality during storage and thus enabling new modes of organization in the forest
Alternative Sustainable Zirconia Technology (for glass melting) – ASZTech
The high quality level required by the new applications of glass (flat LCD, PDP screens,…), combined with the increase of the lifetime of glass furnaces implies the development of new high zirconia fu
Study of the behaviour of colonies of Environmentally Assisted short Cracks – ECCOFIC
The final objective of the project is to develop a more realistic than today methodology for the evaluation of lifetime of components sensitive to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), in order to apply it
Innovations in the design and scale-up of latex-based coatings technologies – SCALE-UP
The basic premise of SCALE-UP is that we use CFD to understand how the time scales for mixing change. This information can be combined with population balance equations (PBE) that allow us to calculate the local particle generation, coagulation and growth rates in order to understand how changes of scale impact the quality of product that we make.
Understanding and analysis of volumic instabilities of extrusion in nanocompounds of silica and elastomers – ACTIVEE
Understanding, analyses multi-scale of the volume instabilities of nano-filled elastomers in the process of extrusion
Project electric pulses and electronic war: study of the interactions between waves and biology – PIERGEN
Electromagnetic radiations, whether or not of natural origin, are ubiquitous in our environment. Their effects on living organisms, beneficial or harmful, depend on the field and the power levels and on the duration of exposure. Understand and control them is a crucial issue for civil and military research.
