• A Fractional Derivative Modeling of Heating and Cooling of LED Luminaires 

      Balvis, Eduardo; Paredes, Ángel; Area, Iván; Bendaña Jácome, Ricardo Javier; Carpentier, Alicia; Michinel, Humberto; Zaragoza, Sonia (MDPI, 2020-03)
      [Abstract] In the context of energy efficient lighting, we present a mathematical study of the heating and cooling processes of a common type of luminaires, consisting of a single light-emitting diode source in thermal ...
    • Discovery of Colossal Breathing-Caloric Effect under Low Applied Pressure in the Hybrid Organic–Inorganic MIL-53(Al) Material 

      García Ben, Javier; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Artiaga, Ramón; Salgado-Beceiro, Jorge; Delgado Ferreiro, Ignacio; Kolen'ko, Yury V.; Castro-García, Socorro; Señarís-Rodríguez, M. A.; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel (American Chemical Society, 2022-03-30)
      [Abstract] In this work, “breathing-caloric” effect is introduced as a new term to define very large thermal changes that arise from the combination of structural changes and gas adsorption processes occurring during ...
    • Erosive Degradation Study of Concrete Augmented by Mussel Shells for Marine Construction 

      Camba, C.; Mier, José; Carral Couce, Luis; Lamas, M.I.; Álvarez-Feal, José-Carlos; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier (MDPI, 2021-10)
      [Abstract] This work proposes a green material for artificial reefs to be placed in Galicia (northwest Spain) taking into account the principles of circular economy and sustainability of the ecosystem. New concrete ...
    • Kinetics of Thermal Degradation of Cellulose: Analysis Based on Isothermal and Linear Heating Data 

      López-Beceiro, Jorge; Álvarez García, Ana; Sebio-Puñal, Sebio; Zaragoza, Sonia; Álvarez García, Begoña; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Janeiro Arocas, Julia M.; Artiaga, Ramón (NC State University, 2016-05-16)
      [Abstarct]: In spite of the many studies performed, there is not yet a kinetic model to predict the thermal degradation of cellulose in isothermal and non-isothermal conditions for the full extent of conversion. A model ...
    • The Complexity of Lignin Thermal Degradation in the Isothermal Context 

      López-Beceiro, Jorge; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Álvarez García, Ana; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier; Naya, Salvador; Artiaga, Ramón (MDPI, 2021-07)
      [Abstract] Thermal degradation of lignin in nitrogen atmosphere is evaluated by linear heating and isothermal tests. While linear heating suggests that thermal decomposition in the 200–400 °C range mainly consists of a ...
