(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 ...
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 ...
A comparison between the modeling of a reciprocating compressor using artificial neural network and physical model
(Elsevier, 2015)
This article presents the development, validation, and comparison of two methods for modeling a reciprocating compressor. Initially, the physical mode is based on eight internal sub-processes that incorporate infinitesimal ...
The connection between the heat storage capability of PCM as a material property and their performance in real scale applications
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
Using phase change materials (PCM) for Thermal Energy Storage, the most important material property is their heat storage capability, usually given as h(T). Ideally, h(T) changes suddenly at a single temperature. However, ...
Numerical investigation of the effect of viscosity in a multistage electric submersible pump
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-02-04)
Electric submersible pump (ESP) systems are commonly used as an artificial lift technique by the petroleum industry. Operations of ESPs in oil wells are subjected to performance degradation due to the effect of oil viscosity. ...
Experimental validation of the exact analytical solution to the steady periodic heat transfer problem in a PCM layer
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Phase change materials (PCM) are used in many industrial and residential applications for their advantageous characteristic of high capacity of latent thermal storage by means of an isothermal process. In this context, it ...
