Numerical simulation of gas-liquid flows in a centrifugal rotor
(Elsevier, 2020-08-10)
Two-phase flows generally represent an adverse condition for centrifugal pumps. Research about this topic tends to be focused on performance evaluation through experimental approaches, while numerical works are quite scarce. ...
Disassembly properties and material characterisation of household small waste electric and electronic equipment
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
This paper is focused on characterising small waste electric and electronic equipment, specifically small household appliances, from two different points of views: disassembly properties and material identification. The ...
How do organisations graphically communicate their sustainability? An exploratory analysis based on corporate reports
(Elsevier, 2021-10-01)
Corporate reports containing non-financial information are the main tool that organisations can use to communicate information concerning their sustainability performance to their stakeholders. The use of graphic media to ...
Variables that affect the environmental performance of small electrical and electronic equipment. Methodology and case study
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
This paper provides a methodology to identify the variables that affect the environmental performance of the life cycle of small electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). Different environmental indicators were contemplated ...
Thermo-economic optimization of small-scale Organic Rankine Cycle: A case study for low-grade industrial waste heat recovery
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
This work is focused on a case study of a small-scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) adopted for electricity production from low-grade industrial waste heat recovery. This kind of applications raises a great interest due to ...
An experimental investigation on the characteristics of submerged horizontal gas jets in liquid ambient
(2014)
Gas injections into liquid are prevalent in the natural environment and are essential in industrial applications,
they can lead to complex flow. The flow structure and processes are essentially unsteady and turbulent.
In ...
Ambient and fire behavior of eccentrically loaded elliptical slender concrete-filled tubular colums
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
This paper presents the results of an experimental program carried out on slender elliptical hollow section columns filled with concrete. Given the reduced number of experimental results found in the literature on concrete ...
A Finite Element Model for Consideration of the Torsional Effect on the Bearing Contact of Gear Drives
(ASME The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012)
The finite element method is widely applied for the determination of contact and bending stresses in gear drives. It is based on the finite element model of the gear drive that is built by the discretization of the pinion ...
Assessment of the Relationships Among Design Methods, Design Activities, and Creativity
(ASME The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012)
This paper presents an experimental study that was conducted to compare the results obtained from using different design methods (brainstorming (BR), functional analysis (FA), and SCAMPER) in design processes. The objectives ...
Semi-active magnetorheological dampers for reducing response of high-speed railway bridges
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
To reduce the resonant response of high-speed railway bridges, semi-active magnetorheological dampers are proposed in this study. The elements are connected to the structure in a double beam configuration. An H∞H∞ control ...
