Numerical and experimental analysis of municipal solid wastes gasification process
(Elsevier, 2015)
As the quantity of municipal solid waste (MSW) increases with economic growth, problems arise in regard to sustainable management solutions. Thermal treatment presents a valid option for reducing the amounts of post-recycling ...

Shadowing and blocking effect optimization for a variable geometry heliostat field
(Elsevier, 2015)
Optimization software is currently a key tool when designing heliostat fields. Shadowing, blocking, atmospheric attenuation, spillage and cosine effect losses can be hugely minimized with proper use of this tool, so they ...

A new model of the carbonator reactor in the Calcium Looping technology for post-combustion CO2 capture
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Ca-Looping (CaL) process is considered as a promising technology for CO2 post-combustion capture in power generation plants yielding a minor penalty on plant performance as compared with other capture technologies ...

Energy Efficiency Indicators for Assessing Construction Systems Storing Renewable Energy: Application to Phase Change Material-Bearing Façades
(MDPI, 2015-08-13)
Assessing the performance or energy efficiency of a single construction element by itself is often a futile exercise. That is not the case, however, when an element is designed, among others, to improve building energy ...

Layer by Layer Segmentation of Water Distribution from Neutron Imaging of Large Scale Cells
(Electrochemical Society Inc., 2015)
We present a method for distinguishing liquid water content in the different layers of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (“anode flow channels”, “cathode flow channels”, and “GDL/MEA”) from through-plane neutron imaging. ...
