Analysis of the dynamic air conditioning loads, fuel consumption and emissions of heavy-duty trucks with different glazing and paint optical properties
(2022)The European transportation sector employs 10 million people and accounts for 4.6% of the European Union GDP. Due to climate change, this workforce is increasingly affected by high temperatures and radiant loads, particularly ... -
A density functional theory approach to the effects of C and N substitution at the B-site of the first boride MAX phase Nb2SB
(2021)MAX phases have diverse physical properties and as such are an important research field linked to numerous applications. The recent addition of boride member to the MAX family has further extended the physical properties ... -
Effect of halogen doping on the electronic, electrical, and optical properties of anatase TiO2
(2022)Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most used oxides in renewable energy applications, such as hydrogen production, photovoltaics, and light-emitting diodes. To further improve the efficiency of the devices, doping ... -
Silica coated insect proof screens for effective insect control in greenhouses
(2022)Insect proof screens were coated with silica (SiO2) nanoparticles using the plasma coating process. The work studied whether a screen coated by SiO2 nanoparticles could be more effective on insects' control than a non-coated ... -
Simulating complex window systems using BSDF data
(2009)Nowadays, virtual models are commonly used to evaluate the performance of conventional window systems. Complex fenestration systems can be difficult to simulate accurately not only because of their geometry but also because ... -
Solar radiation distribution in a tunnel greenhouse
(2008)A commercial computational fluid dynamics code was used in order to investigate numerically the effect of solar radiation in an arc type tunnel greenhouse equipped with continuous side vents with a tomato crop. For the ... -
Sustainable solutions for reducing air-conditioning costs and tailpipe emissions from heavy-duty transportation across Europe
(2022)Heavy-duty trucks emit >25% of the CO2 of the European road transport sector despite representing ≈2.5% of its fleet. Escalating temperatures associated to global warming will increase the use of air-conditioning (AC) ...
