[Abstract] Wind energy is gaining special interest worldwide due to the necessity of reducing pollutant emissions and employ renewable resources. Traditionally, horizontal axis wind turbines have been employed but certain ...

[Abstract] The present work proposes several pre-injection patterns to reduce nitrogen oxides in the Wärtsilä 6L 46 marine engine. A numerical model was carried out to characterise the emissions and consumption of the ...

[Resumo]O obxectivo da presente tese é o deseño dun propulsor ondulatorio que sexa aplicable a vehículos mariños e sistemas de impulsión de fluidos. Froito do estudo realizado proponse un deseño innovador de superficie ...

[Abstract] Hydrokinetic energy constitutes a source of renewable energy. However, many regions have flow velocities that are too low for effective energy extraction, and conventional turbines are not suitable for these ...

[Abstract] The possibility to employ alternative fuels is gaining special interest in the marine sector. There are several suitable candidates for traditional fossil fuels substitution. Among them, ammonia is a promising ...

[Abstract] The aim of the present paper is to analyze several port configurations in the Fairbanks-Morse 38D8-1/8 marine diesel engine. The motivation comes from the high number of intake and exhaust ports which characterizes ...

[Abstract] CO₂ is the main anthropogenic greenhouse gas and its reduction plays a decisive role in reducing global climate change. As a CO₂ elimination method, the present work is based on chemical absorption using aqueous ...

[Abstract] Nowadays, the environmental impact of shipping constitutes an important challenge. In order to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible, an important priority consists of progressing on the decarbonization ...

[Abstract] Throughout history the practical implementation of propulsion mechanisms in the fluid environment based on the rotation has been easier to deal because of the state of the art in its time, and this has meant ...
