New proposed methodology for specific heat capacity determination of materials for thermal energy storage (TES) by DSC
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
This study presents a methodology to determine the specific heat capacity (Cp) of materials for thermal energy storage (TES) by DSC. These materials have great energy storage capacities, and due to that, important heat ...
A decision support tool for communicating the environmnetlal performance of products and ornganisations from the ceramic sector (Epub ahead of print)
(Springer Verlag, 2016-01)
This paper presents a tool designed to facilitate the communication of environmental information in the ceramic sector, both for companies and products. Specifically, the communication tool allows the environmental product ...
The Use of New Presentation Technologies in Electronic Sales Environments and Their Influence on Product Perception
(Springer, 2021)
New tools have appeared to improve interaction with products in online shopping: virtual reality (VR) applications, where customers are immersed in a wholly virtual environment; augmented reality (AR) applications, which ...
Drop-in analysis of an internal heat exchanger in a vapour compression system using R1234ze(E) and R450A as alternatives for R134a
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The IHX (internal heat exchanger) is introduced in some refrigeration systems in order to achieve higher energy performances. Results obtained vary greatly depending on the refrigerant used and working conditions. This ...
Consumer behaviour and environmental education in the field of waste electrical and electronic toys: A Spanish case study
(Elsevier, 2015-02)
This paper reports on a project focused on obtaining the current consumption and disposal habits of electrical and electronic toys from a survey aimed at parents of children of nine pre- and primary schools. In addition, ...
An in-depth literature review of the waste electrical and electronic equipment context: Trends and evolution
(Sage, 2015-01)
The consumption of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is continuously increasing worldwide and, consequently, so is the
amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) it generates at its end-of-life. ...
A review of refrigerant R1234ze(E) recent investigations
(Elsevier, 2016-02-25)
Climate change is demonstrated through global surface temperatures increase in the last century. To stop this phenomenon, new regulations that ban or tax greenhouse gas fluids (HFC among them) have been approved. In the ...
Developments in life cycle assessment applied to evaluate the environmental performance of construction and demolition wastes
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
This paper provides a review of the literature that applies the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to the assessment of the environmental performance of the life cycle of construction and demolition waste (CDW) ...
Experimental evaluation of R448A as R404A lower-GWP alternative in refrigeration systems
(Elsevier, 2015-11)
Due to the adoption of EU Regulation No 517/2014, R404A is going to be banned in Europe in most of refrigeration applications, in which is typically used, due to its very high GWP value, 3943. In this paper an experimental ...
Numerical investigation of models for drag, lift, wall lubrication and turbulent dispersion forces for the simulation of gas-liquid two-phase flow
(Elsevier, 2015-06)
In order to qualify CFD codes for accurate numerical predictions of transient evolution of flow regimes in a vertical gas–liquid two-phase flow in a pipe, suitable closure models (inter-phase forces) for the momentum ...
