A CFD-DEM solver to model bubbly flow. Part I: Model development and assessment in upward vertical pipes
(Elsevier, 2018-02-02)
In the computational modeling of two-phase flow, many uncertainties are usually faced in simulations and validations with experiments. This has traditionally made it difficult to provide a general method to predict the ...
Influence of implementing selective collection on municipal waste management systems in developing countries: A Brazilian case study
(Elsevier, 2018)
The aim of this study is to analyse the evolution of the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) system of João Pessoa (Brazil), which is one of the pioneering Brazilian cities to implement door-to-door selective collection ...
Polymeric interlayer materials for laminated glass: A review
(Elsevier, 2020-01-10)
Laminated glass is obtained by bonding two or more glass layers using a polymeric interlayer. Compared to monolithic glass, laminated glass is beneficial in terms of post-breakage safety, security against break-ins, and ...
Stabilization and characterization of a nanofluid based on a eutectic mixture of diphenyl and diphenyl oxide and carbon nanoparticles under high temperature conditions
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
(C12H10O), and it is used as an HTF with a maximum working temperature of 400 °C. However, one of the drawbacks of Therminol VP1 is its low thermal conductivity. In recent years it has been demonstrated that the addition ...
Modelling and experimental investigation of horizontal buoyant gas jets injected into stagnant uniform ambient liquid
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
In this article, an experimental and theoretical study on the buoyant non-condensable gas jet that is injected horizontally into a high-density liquid ambient at different initial conditions is performed. Direct and ...
CFD modelling and validation of upward bubbly flow in an adiabatic vertical pipe using the quadrature method of moments
(Elsevier, 2016)
An Eulerian–Eulerian approach was investigated to model adiabatic bubbly flow with CFD techniques. In
the framework of the OpenFOAM® software, a two-fluid model solver was modified to include a population
balance equation, ...
A CFD-DEM solver to model bubbly flow. Part II: Critical validation in upward vertical pipes including axial evolution
(Elsevier, 2018-02-23)
In the computational modeling of two-phase flow, many uncertainties are usually faced in simulations and validations with experiments. This has traditionally made it difficult to provide a general method to predict the ...
Improvements in the cooling capacity and the COP of a transcritical CO2 refrigeration plant operating with a thermoelectric subcooling system
(Elsevier, 2019-06-05)
Restrictive environmental regulations are driving the use of CO2 as working fluid in commercial vapour compression plants due to its ultra-low global warming potential (GWP100 = 1) and its natural condition. However, at ...
High temperature heat pump integration into district heating network
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)
This study illustrates the potential of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) integration into district heating network (DHN) through a twofold approach, using DHN as a heat sink and source. It is used as a heat sink of HTHP ...
Assessing the social performance of municipal solid waste management systems in developing countries: Proposal of indicators and a case study
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
This article analyses the social performance of municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems in developing countries. For this purpose, a set of social impact categories, indicators and metrics capable of assessing the ...
