Metamaterial in Solar Energy Harvesting Devices

Solar energy is one of the best sources of environmentally friendly reliable energy. Metamaterials is one of the subjects of nanotechnology, which applies scientific and engineering principles to make and utilize very small things— things at the nanometer scale, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. How to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of […]

Développements et validations numériques d’outils de diagnostic et d’optimisation pour la conception de ventilateurs

Dans les résidences, le bruit de ventilation est considéré comme une source majeure d’inconfort. La connaissance et l’identification des sources de bruit de ventilateurs sont primordiales pour la conception d’un ventilateur silencieux et énergétiquement plus efficace. Dans le cas des ventilateurs fabriqués par la compagnie Venmar Ventilation ULC. le bruit large bande domine d’une manière […]

Design, optimization and testing of baffle-type parallel-channel flow field plates within a 200-cm2 fuel cell short stack with a highly-active catalyst

Enhancing the current and power density in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is one of the main challenges to their large-scale commercialization and hence in tune with the pending needs of the PEMFC industry. The volumetric power density in PEMFC stacks is strongly affected by the flow field plates due to their critical impact […]
