Automated modelling of complex refrigeration cycles through topological structure analysis
(Elsevier, 2009)
We have developed a computational method for analysis of refrigeration cycles. The method is well suited for automated analysis of complex refrigeration systems. The refrigerator is specified through a description of flows ...
Comparison of environmental impacts of building structures with in situ cast floors and with precast concrete floors
(Elsevier, 2009)
In this paper, the environmental impacts of two types of slab systems are studied. The first type, a concrete-based one-way spanning slab, is the most common solution in residential buildings in Spain. The second type, a ...
Computer-aided sketching as a tool to promote innovation in the new product development process
(Elsevier, 2009)
Sketching is an established part of engineering culture. Sketches assist product designers during the creative stages of design and help them to develop inventions. Paper-and-pencil sketching is highly useful but lacks ...
Averaging methods of the gap heat transfer coefficients and the loss form coefficients of nuclear reactor cores loaded with different fuel bundles
(Elsevier, 2009)
When performing transient analysis in heterogeneous nuclear reactors loaded with different types of fuel bundles is necessary to model the reactor core by a few representative fuel elements with average properties of a ...
Flow Structure of Subcooled Boiling Water Flow in a Subchannel of 3 x 3 Rod Bundles
(Atomic Energy Society of Japan, 2008)
In this paper, the interfacial flow structure of subcooled water boiling flow in a subchannel of 3 x 3 rod
bundles is presented. The 9 rods are positioned in a quadrangular assembly with a rod diameter of 8.2mm
and a ...
Análisis del ciclo de vida del reciclado del polietileno de alta densidad
(Reed Business Information, 2008-05)
Thermoplastics make up roughly 80% of the plastics produced today. There are hundreds of types of them and new variations are being developed. But not all thermoplastics are recyclable in the same proportion. The most ...

A methodology for assessing the potential environmental impact of failure of leachate-retaining earthen dams
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2009-01-15)
We describe herein a useful model for assessing the environmental impact of the breakage of earthen dams used to retain leachate fluids. To create this model, we analyzed three parameters: (1) the characteristics of both ...
Justificación taxonómica del factor del paisaje en el uso del suelo
(Asociación Española de Dirección e Ingeniería de Proyectos (AEIPRO), 2009)
The land use by human beings is the main direct cause of lots of impact in production systems. The term land use is traditionally used to show a classification of human activities that land surface hold. In the field of ...
El marco DPSIR en los sectores de transporte y agricultura: necesidad del desarrollo de indicadores de impacto en las categorías de ruido y uso de suelo
(Asociación Española de Dirección e Ingeniería de Proyectos (AEIPRO), 2009)
The use of statistical values or environmental measurement results does not suffice to reflect the environmental impact of the sectors of transport and agriculture. Despite its large incidence upon sustainability, ...
