Thermodynamic analysis of a tri-generation system using SOFC and HDH desalination unit

Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani

The lack of freshwater in many countries pushes authorities to utilize desalination units. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) have shown promising results to provide the power to establish a multi-generation system using hydrogen as a renewable source. In this ...

Finite-temperature materials modeling from the quantum nuclei to the hot electron regime

Michele Ceriotti, Chiheb Ben Mahmoud, Nataliya Lopanitsyna

Atomistic simulations provide insights into structure-property relations on an atomic size and length scale, that are complementary to the macroscopic observables that can be obtained from experiments. Quantitative predictions, however, are usually hindere ...

Spatio-temporal modeling of the crowding conditions and metabolic variability in microbial communities

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Liliana Angeles Martinez

The metabolic capabilities of the species and the local environment shape the microbial interactions in a community either through the exchange of metabolic products or the competition for the resources. Cells are often arranged in close proximity to each ...

Inferring the flow properties of epithelial tissues from their geometry

Matthieu Wyart, Marko Popovic

Amorphous materials exhibit complex material properties with strongly nonlinear behaviors. Below a yield stress they behave as plastic solids, while they start to yield above a critical stress sigma(c). A key quantity controlling plasticity which is, howev ...

Electric vehicle charging station using fuel cell technology: Two different scenarios and thermodynamic analysis

Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani

This study evaluates two different scenarios of an integrated system to generate electricity for a charging station using proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). To improve the efficiency, the exhaust heat of these two ...

Broken-Symmetry Ground States of the Heisenberg Model on the Pyrochlore Lattice

Giuseppe Carleo

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice is an iconic frustrated three-dimensional spin system with a rich phase diagram. Besides hosting several ordered phases, the model is debated to possess a spin-liquid ground state when only nearest-ne ...

Statistical limits of high-dimensional inference problems

Clément Dominique Luneau

This thesis focuses on two kinds of statistical inference problems in signal processing and data science. The first problem is the estimation of a structured informative tensor from the observation of a noisy tensor in which it is buried. The structure com ...

Using High-Temporal-Resolution Ambient Data to Investigate Gas-Particle Partitioning of Ammonium over Different Seasons

Athanasios Nenes

Ammonium is one of the dominant inorganic water-soluble ions in fine particulate matter (PM2.5). In this study, source apportionment and thermodynamic equilibrium models were used to analyze the relationship between pH and the partitioning of ammonium (eps ...

Reduction of the sign problem near T=0 in quantum Monte Carlo simulations

Frédéric Mila, Jonathan D'Emidio

Building on a recent investigation of the Shastry-Sutherland model [S. Wessel et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 174432 (2018)], we develop a general strategy to eliminate the Monte Carlo sign problem near the zero-temperature limit in frustrated quantum spin models ...

Aerosol pH and liquid water content determine when particulate matter is sensitive to ammonia and nitrate availability

Athanasios Nenes

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia (NH3) from anthropogenic and biogenic emissions are central contributors to particulate matter (PM) concentrations worldwide. The response of PM to changes in the emissions of both compounds is typically studied on a case- ...
