Modelling of Thermal Stress in Yb:YAG to Quantify Depolarisation in a Nanosecond 10 J, 100 Hz Laser
The high heat loads intrinsically associated with high-energy, high repetition rate laser systems require sophisticated thermal management analyses to minimise the impact of thermal effects on optical performance. Non-uniform heat deposition in optical elements can lead to the onset of ... Read More
Modelling the Composition Gradient in Ni-Mn-Ga Single Crystal Grown by Floating Zone Method
Re-crystallisation of Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys in a floating zone (FZ) optical furnace is a complex problem that depends not only on the compositions of the master alloy and a seed crystal but on the growth speed and evolution of the molten zone shape during the crystal growth process. We ... Read More
Monte Carlo Simulation to Model Natural Variability in Food Drying
Convective drying of fruits and vegetables is a widely used preservation method and serves to reduce food waste, to make them available off-season and to reduce weight-related transport costs. However, the high energy consumption and impact of the process set-up and process settings on ... Read More
