CONTRIBUTION À L'ANALYSE DE LA DISPERSION DE VITESSE AUTOUR DES ÉTOILES MASSIVES DE M33
BAYALA Baguima Gilbert ; Sié Zacharie KAM,
L'étude des étoiles massives et de leur formation permet de comprendre la structure et l'évolution des galaxies. Elles permettent de mettre en évidence des structures macroscopiques telles que des bras spiraux, des barres de gaz et des anneaux de galaxies spirales par exemple. Ces étoiles extrêmement chaudes influencent considérablement leur a(...)

Electrical Power Generation from Heat Recovered at the Throat of a Downdraft Biomass Gasifier
Nzihou Jean Fidele1, *, Hamidou Salou2 , Imbga Kossi1 , Segda Bila Gerard3 , Ouattara Frederic1 , Tiemtore Hamadou1
: Gasification, a thermochemical process that takes place in gasifiers, is now understood as a process of transforming
the solid components of biomass into combustible gases essentially consisting of carbon monoxide (CO) and dihydrogen (H2).
This technology is relatively old and was widely used during the Second World War to deal with the(...)
