Proposal of Optimal Operation in Ship Rolling Motion Considering Sea State Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] Most of the research on ship rolling motion concerns a specific type of ship, such as containerships, or analyzes sailing during certain wave characteristics, rather than the full spectrum of waves that can be ...
A New Theoretical Dynamic Analysis of Ship Rolling Motion Considering Navigational Parameters, Loading Conditions and Sea State Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] Despite the IMO’s efforts and the large quantity of research carried out over the years concerning the sudden loss of stability in fishing vessels, and even the damage done to merchant fleets due to cargo shifting, ...
Research on an Internal Combustion Engine With an Injected Pre-chamber to Operate With Low Methane Number Fuels for Future Gas Flaring Reduction
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] Flaring gas is the action of burning waste crude natural gas that is not possible to process or sell during the extraction and processing of oil and gas extraction. However, the surge of the oil and gas (O&G) ...
New Tendencies in Wind Energy Operation and Maintenance
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Both the reduction in operating and maintenance (O&M) costs and improved reliability have become top priorities in wind turbine maintenance strategies. O&M costs typically account for 20% to 25% of the total ...
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 ...
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 ...
Assessment of Cold Ironing and LNG as Mitigation Tools of Short Sea Shipping Emissions in Port: A Spanish Case Study
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] By the end of 2025 European ports are required to provide (Directive 2014/94/EU) facilities to ensure the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) use and on-shore electricity supply for vessels (Cold Ironing—CI). Even though ...
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 ...
