Revising Concepts on Liquid–Liquid Extraction: Data Treatment and Data Reliability
(ACS Publications, 2022)
[Abstract] The intention of this article is to clarify some concepts and relevant aspects of the experimental determination and treatment of liquid–liquid equilibrium data for ternary systems. Distinction is made between ...
Self-Diffusion in Nanofluids of Nonelongated Particles in the Dilute Limit
(Springer, 2021-07)
[Abstract] The dynamic features of a dilute suspension of nanoparticles (nanofuid) are fully modifed depending on the dominant particles slip mechanism acting in the suspension. Self-difusion efects in highly sheared diluted ...

[Abstract] The aim of the present paper is to provide the state of the works in the field of hydrodynamics and computational simulations to analyze biomimetic marine propulsors. Over the last years, many researchers ...
Simulation of Boiling Heat Transfer at Different Reduced Temperatures with an Improved Pseudopotential Lattice Boltzmann Method
(MDPI, 2020-07)
[Abstract] The pseudopotential Lattice Boltzmann Method has attracted much attention in the recent years for the simulation of boiling heat transfer. Many studies have been published recently for the simulation of the ...
Numerical Analysis of NOₓ Reduction Using Ammonia Injection and Comparison With Water Injection
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] This work analyzes NOₓ reduction in a marine diesel engine using ammonia injection directly into the cylinder and compares this procedure with water injection. A numerical model based on the so-called inert ...
Proposal of a Nature-Inspired Shape for a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine and Comparison of Its Performance with a Semicircular Blade Profile
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] In order to improve the efficiency of the Savonius type vertical axis wind turbine, the present work analyzes an improvement based on an innovative rotor geometry. The rotor blades are inspired on an organic ...
Optimization of a Multiple Injection System in a Marine Diesel Engine through a Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Approach
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] In this work, a numerical model was developed to analyze the performance and emissions of a marine diesel engine, the Wärtsilä 6L 46. This model was validated using experimental measurements and was employed to ...
NOₓ Reduction in Diesel-Hydrogen Engines Using Different Strategies of Ammonia Injection
(MDPI, 2019-04)
[Abstract] In order to reduce NOₓ emissions in internal combustion engines, the present work analyzes a measurement which consists of injecting ammonia directly into the combustion chamber. A commercial compression ignition ...
