Impact of the surface roughness on the electrical capacitance [PDF]
A new hybrid approach consists to use the advantages of both systems namely the high geometric aspects of the electrodes of the ultracapacitor and the high dielectric strength of polymer materials used in dielectric capacitors. The surface roughness of the electrodes of the ultracapacitor is manufactured with nano-porous materials; activated carbon and

Non-destructive detection of CMAS damage on thermal barrier coatings using AC impedance technique
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) on high temperature components in gas turbine engines are in some cases damaged by calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicates (CMAS) resulting from the ingestion of siliceous minerals at high temperatures exceeding 1200°C.

A Mixed Normalization Capacitance Model for Electrical Capacitance Tomography [PDF]
Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is a technique developed in recent 30 years, which aims to measure multi-phase flow. The image reconstruction for ECT is an inverse problem to find the permittivity distribution in a pipe. The normalized capacitance measurements are needed during the process of image reconstruction.

Electrical capacitance tomography with square sensor
Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) with circular sensors has previously been investigated. For some industrial applications such as circulating fluidised beds, square sensors are required. Research into this specific area has been carried out for the first time. To generate sensitivity maps, the Laplace equation is solved using a finite difference

Electrical Capacitance Tomography With Differential Sensor
In electrical capacitance tomography, capacitance changes are used to determine the permittivity distribution in the imaging area. However, the changes are small compared to the standing capacitances, e.g. usually in the order of 10~30%. For a single channel capacitance sensor, a differential configuration having a redundant pair of electrodes can be ...
