Fatigue resistance of welded steel tubular X-joints
(2020)High-cycle fatigue experiments are performed on welded tubular steel X-joints, with braces and chord of equal diameter. They are scaled-down joints, used extensively in offshore wind platforms. Three different welding ... -
Improving hybrid SOFC-GT systems performance through turbomachinery design
(2014)A methodology to improve the performance of a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system for the whole operating range is proposed. The method suggests a way to estimate the geometric parameters of the ... -
Innovative control approaches to assess energy implications of adaptive facades based on simulation using EnergyPlus
(2020)The current development of shading systems which respond to both environmental and human inputs; leads to envisioning an envelope that is multifunctional, responsive and dynamic, named as Adaptive Facades (AFs). The key ... -
Insights into the function and horizontal transfer of isoproturon degradation genes (pdmAB) in a biobed system
(2020)Biobeds, designed to minimize pesticide point source contamination, rely mainly on biodegradation processes. We studied the interactions of a biobed microbial community with the herbicide isoproturon (IPU) to explore the ... -
Method for selecting casing diameters in wells producing low-enthalpy geothermal waters containing dissolved carbon dioxide
(2007)Most low-enthalpy geothermal waters contain dissolved gases (e.g., CO2, H2S, and CH4)- In artesian geothermal wells, the absolute pressure of the water flowing towards the surface may drop below the bubble point of the ... -
Natural ventilation of a greenhouse with ridge and side openings: Sensitivity to temperature and wind effects
(1997)An air exchange rate model of a Mediterranean greenhouse with ridge and side openings combining temperature and wind effects as driving forces of the natural ventilation was developed and tested on experimental data. it ... -
Optimization of thermal performance of a building with ground source heat pump system
(2007)Component optimization studies during the last twenty years, point to the use of carefully optimized ground source heat pump systems as a means of reducing building heating and cooling energy costs. Modern computational ... -
