Inception of evaporative dryout for CO2 in milliscale pipe flows / Cantini, Giulio (Bath U. ; CERN) ; Hellenschmidt, Desiree (CERN) ; Pedano, Camila (CERN) ; Petagna, Paolo (CERN) ; Sangan, Carl (Bath U.) ; Carnevale, Mauro (Bath U. ; CERN)
Carbon dioxide is a cost-effective, reliable and environmentally-friendly refrigerant with increasing employment in evaporator design. A clear understanding of the underlying flow physics, coupled with robust prediction of phase change through boiling, is necessary to enable widespread uptake of CO2 as a coolant. In scenarios such as nuclear reactors or thermal management in silicon detectors (e.g., Large Hadron Collider at CERN), employing saturated CO2 in milliscale pipes introduces further uncertainties in the design process, particularly regarding its behaviour at high vapour quality.

Assessing the Usefulness of Assurance Cases: Experience With the Large Hadron Collider / Viger, Torin (U. Toronto (main)) ; Joyce, Jeff ; Diemert, Simon ; Menghi, Claudio (Bergamo U. ; McMaster U.) ; Chechik, Marsha (U. Toronto (main)) ; Uythoven, Jan (CERN) ; Zerlauth, Markus (CERN) ; Felsberger, Lukas (CERN)
ABSTRACT Assurance cases (ACs) are structured arguments designed to show that a system is sufficiently reliable to function properly in its operational environment. They are mandated by safety standards and are largely used in industry to support risk management for systems; however, ACs often contain proprietary information and are not publicly available. [...]

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Multiphase Series Capacitor Buck Converter in a Master–Slave Configuration for Powering a Particle Accelerator Electromagnet / Ibarra, Edorta (Basque U., Bilbao) ; Arias, Antoni (Barcelona, Polytechnic U.) ; Martínez de Alegría, Iñigo (Basque U., Bilbao) ; Otero-Olavarrieta, Alberto (Rioja U.) ; Matallana, Asier (Basque U., Bilbao) ; de Mallac, Louis (CERN)
Multiphase DC/DC power converter architectures have recently been investigated for powering the superconducting electromagnets in the High-Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, targeting high-performance figures and reliability. In terms of control, a master–slave voltage/current regulation configuration was previously proposed by the authors as an alternative to other well-known cascaded options. [...]

Particle adhesion assessment based on a diverted use of laser shock adhesion test (LASAT) to apply inertia force relying on dynamics of the sample macroscopic surface / Baudin, Lucie (CERN) ; Garion, Cedric (CERN) ; Chiggiatto, Paolo ; Delloro, Francesco (Paris, Ecole des Mines) ; Jeandin, Michel (Paris, Ecole des Mines) ; Thorel, Alain (Paris, Ecole des Mines) ; Boustie, Michel (CNRS, France)
Laser-assisted surface structuring was developed at CERN for the treatment of the inside wall of the vacuum system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). 50-µm-deep grooves were created by material ablation while the laser scanned the surface. [...]

Efficient Finite Element Models for Milliken Conductors Using Homogenization Techniques Based on Helicoidal Symmetry / Piwonski, Albert (Berlin, Tech. U.) ; Dular, Julien (CERN) ; Sabariego, Ruth V (Leuven U. ; Unlisted, BE) ; Rezende, Rodrigo Silva (Berlin, Tech. U.) ; Schuhmann, Rolf (Berlin, Tech. U.)
Milliken-type conductors are the predominant design for the inner conductor of high-voltage AC power cables beyond a certain cross-sectional area. Their complex geometric structure gives rise to multiscale problems that pose significant challenges in the numerical modeling of their electromagnetic behavior. [...]
