Single Edge Notch Tension (SENT) tests have been carried out on girth welded X80 pipeline steel using two different weld materials to investigate the effect of weld metal mismatch on ductile crack growth. In addition to the traditional clip gauge CMOD/CTOD measurements, information has been obtained...
The main advantage of Electric Swing Adsorption (ESA) process is related to the fast heating rates that can be achieved by Joule effect. Since this heating is done by passing electricity, its utilization should be efficient to reduce the overall losses of the system. This work discusses the heat...
In this study, we have considered Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology natural gas purification and integrated CO2 capture. We present the utilization of Dual-PSA technology for obtaining pipeline-quality methane and integrated CO2 capture. In the initial simulation example, a binary stream...
The successful ANITA1 (Analysing Interferometer for Ambient Air) mission on ISS has proven the usability of a sophisticated optical sensor for the simultaneous detection and quantification of 32 relevant trace gases in the cabin atmosphere. The instrument ran for 11 months in 2007 and 2008 leading...
...3D detectors with electrodes penetrating through the entire silicon substrate have many advantages over conventional planar silicon technology, for example, high radiation tolerance. High aspect ratio through-wafer holes are essential in such fabrication, and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is used...
