An experimental study on bubble entrainment and flow characteristics of vertical plunging water jets
(Elsevier, 2014)
When a vertical liquid jet plunges into a liquid surface after passing through a surrounding gas phase it entrains a large amount of gas bubbles into the receiving pool, and forms a large submerged two-phase region with a ...
Comparison of the carbon footprint of different patient diets in a Spanish hospital
(Sage, 2015)
Abstract
Objectives:
Mitigating climate change requires management strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in any
sector, including the health system. Carbon footprint calculations should play a key role in ...
Integrated supermarket refrigeration for very high ambient temperature
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)
This paper analytically investigates and compares the performance of a proposed ‘all-natural’ NH3/CO2 cascaded booster system to a conventional R404A direct expansion system as well as to an ‘all-CO2’ system with multi-ejector ...
Attitude of the stakeholders involved in the repair and second-hand sale of small household electrical and electronic equipment: Case study in Spain
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
The European legal framework for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (Directive 2012/19/EU) prioritises reuse strategies against other valorisation options. Along ...
Evaluation of R448A and R450A as low-GWP alternatives for R404A and R134a using a micro-fin tube evaporator model
(Elsevier, 2016-04-05)
When retrofitting new refrigerants in an existing vapour compression system, their adaptation to the heat exchangers is a major concern. R450A and R448A are commercial non-flammable mixtures with low GWP developed to replace ...
Protected steel columns vs partially encased columns: Fire resistance and economic considerations
(Elsevier, 2016)
As is commonly known, resistant properties of steel columns decrease quickly with an increase in temperature. Thus, steel columns are usually surrounded with low thermal conductivity materials that protect them at high ...
A survey on consumers’ attitude towards storing and end of life strategies of small information and communication technology devices in Spain
(Elsevier, 2017)
This study analyses the current habits and practices towards the store, repair and second-hand purchase of small electrical and electronic devices belonging to the category of information and communication technology (ICT). ...
Synchronous communication in PLM environments using annotated CAD models
(Springer Verlag, 2016-06)
The connection of resources, data, and knowledge through communication technology plays a vital role in current collaborative design methodologies and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, as these elements act as ...
Options for labelling circular products: Icon design and consumer preferences
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
The demand of products that incorporate circular requirements depend on consumer perceptions. So effective communication is necessary between the product and consumers through product labelling. The use of specific icons ...
Circular concrete-filled dual steel columns with ultrahigh-strength concrete
(Ernst und Sohn: OnlineOpenWiley-VCH Verlag, 2016)
This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign in which the buckling resistance of 12 concrete-filled dual steel columns was ascertained. Whereas some papers in the literature describe investigations into ...
