A New Design Criterion to Improve the Intact Stability of Galician Small Fishing Vessels
(MDPI, 2020-07-07)
[Abstract] The first technical factor involved in maritime accidents is related to the lack of intact stability. The current stability criterion, based on fixing a minimum value for each of the di erent static and dynamic ...
A Global Review of PWR Nuclear Power Plants
(MDPI, 2020-06-27)
[Abstract] Nuclear energy is presented as a real option in the face of the current problem of climate change and the need to reduce CO2 emissions. The nuclear reactor design with the greatest global impact throughout history ...
A New Methodology for Decision-Making in Buildings Energy Optimization
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)
[Abstract] When designing or retrofitting a building, not too many tools let architects and engineers to define the optimal conditions to reduce energy consumption with the minimal economic investment. This is because ...
Spring-loaded Winch Band Brakes as Tools to Improve Safety During Mooring Operations on Ships
(2020-09)
[Abstract] Some recent accident reports involving large vessels in mooring operations or breaking away from their moorings conclude that brakes of mooring winches do not render before line parts. As the potential loss of ...
Photovoltaic Power Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks and Numerical Weather Data
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The monitoring of power generation installations is key for modelling and predicting their future behaviour. Many renewable energy generation systems, such as photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, strongly ...
Energy Efficiency and Thermal Performance of Office Buildings Integrated with Passive Strategies in Coastal Regions of Humid and Hot Tropical Climates in Madagascar
(MDPI AG, 2020-04-02)
[Abstract] Researchers have used passive strategies, such as the implementation of thermal insulation and the use of phase change materials (PCM), in several studies, but some problems have not yet been solved. It is the ...
Air Changes for Healthy Indoor Ambiences under Pandemic Conditions and Its Energetic Implications: A Galician Case Study
(MDPI, 2020-10-14)
[Abstract] The present paper aims to show a mathematical understanding of the e_ect of ventilation rate over building energy consumption. Moreover, as a case study to show this methodology,a proposal was analyzed of modifying ...
