Novel pulsating heat pipe for high density power data centres: performance and flow regime analysis

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Filippo Cataldo

With the advancement of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and 5G telecommunications, where computational rate is constantly pushing its limits, highly efficient and reliable cooling devices are starting to become an overly critical factor. Not o ...

Molecular Origin of the Asymmetric Photoluminescence Spectra of CsPbBr3 at Low Temperature

Michael Graetzel, Ursula Röthlisberger, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Ariadni Boziki

CsPbBr3 has received wide attention due to its superior emission yield and better thermal stability compared to other organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites. In this study, through an interplay of theory and experiments, we investigate the molecular ori ...

Experimental and numerical investigation of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of an energy sheet pile wall

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria, Marianna Adinolfi

One-of-a-kind experimental and numerical investigation is provided in this paper about energy sheet pile walls: earth retaining structures that embed heat exchanger probes within piles for the exploitation of shallow geothermal energy. The study resorts to ...

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium furanose selection in the ribose isomerisation network

Paolo De Los Rios, Francesco Piazza, Shiling Liang, Daniel Maria Busiello

The exclusive presence of beta -D-ribofuranose in nucleic acids is still a conundrum in prebiotic chemistry, given that pyranose species are substantially more stable at equilibrium. However, a precise characterisation of the relative furanose/pyranose fra ...

Finite-Temperature, Anharmonicity, and Duschinsky Effects on the Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectra from Ab Initio Thermo-Field Gaussian Wavepacket Dynamics

Jiri Vanicek, Tomislav Begusic

Accurate description of finite-temperature vibrational dynamics is indispensable in the computation of two-dimensional electronic spectra. Such simulations are often based on the density matrix evolution, statistical averaging of initial vibrational states ...

Low-energy stereodynamics of ion-forming reactions

Junwen Zou

In this thesis, an experimental study of low-temperature stereodynamics in the reactive scattering of Ne(3P2) + X collisions (X = Ar, Kr, Xe, CO and N2) is presented. The steric effect of Ne(3P2) in these reactions is observed experimentally using a contro ...

Cyclic thermomechanical response of fine-grained soil-concrete interface for energy piles applications

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman, Elena Ravera

Understanding the behaviour of soil-structure interfaces is critical for addressing the analysis and design of energy geostructures. In this study, the interface failure mechanism of energy piles (where a shear band is detached from the surrounding soil th ...
