Proposal of a Nature-Inspired Shape for a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine and Comparison of Its Performance with a Semicircular Blade Profile

Blanco, Javier; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Lamas, M.I. (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 ...
Numerical Model to Analyze the Physicochemical Mechanisms Involved in CO₂ Absorption by an Aqueous Ammonia Droplet

Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez, Juan de Dios; Rebollido Lorenzo, José Manuel (MDPI, 2021-04)

[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 ...
