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 ...
Analysis of the Pre-injection Configuration in a Marine Engine Through Several MCDM Techniques
(University of Zagreb Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, 2021)
[Abstract] The present manuscript describes a computational model employed to characterize the performance and emissions of a commercial marine diesel engine. This model analyzes several pre-injection parameters, such as ...
Analysis of the Pre-Injection System of a Marine Diesel Engine Through Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making and Artificial Neural Networks
(Mathematical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2022-01-01)
[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 ...
Internal Modifications to Optimize Pollution and Emissions of Internal Combustion Engines through Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making and Artificial Neural Networks
(MDPI, 2021-12)
[Abstract] The present work proposes several modifications to optimize both emissions and consumption in a commercial marine diesel engine. A numerical model was carried out to characterize the emissions and consumption ...
How Important Are Ports for the Offshore Wind Industry?: The Case of Spain
(European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ), 2021-09)
[Abstract] Offshore wind is becoming a new technology to develop a better sustainable world. Its progress is linked to the use of port facilities, where the offshore wind farms can be stored or pre-installed. The aim of ...
Application of residuals from purification of bivalve molluscs in Galician to facilitate marine ecosystem resiliency through artificial reefs with shells – One generation
(Elsevier, 2023-01-15)
[Abstract] The seas and oceans of the planet provide a wide range of essential resources. However, marine ecosystems are undergoing severe degradation due to the unsustainable exploitation and consumption patterns of the ...
On the analytic explanation of experiments where turbulence vanishes in pipe flow
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-11-02)
[Abstract]: The present research will provide an analytical explanation to experiments destabilising turbulence in pipe flow reported in Kuehnen et al. (Nat. Phys., vol. 14, 2018, 386–390). Those experiments show four ...
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 ...
The technical and economic feasibility of the CENTEC floating offshore wind platform
(MDPI, 2022-09-21)
[Abstract]: This paper defines a methodology for the economic feasibility analysis of a floating offshore wind farm composed of tensioned leg platforms, which are part of the EU ARCWIND research project. In this context, ...
