...migration of bubbles in shear flow and observe that bubbles suspended in elastoviscoplastic emulsions organize into chains aligned in the flow direction, similarly to particles in viscoelastic fluids. To investigate the driving mechanism, we perform experiments and simulations on bubble pairs, using...
Background: Low and lower middle-income countries suffer lack of healthcare providers and proper workforce education programs, a greater spread of illnesses, poor surveillance, efficient management, etc., which are addressable by a central policy framework implementation. Accordingly, an eHealth policy...
OPTIPOL project - “Optimal design and routing of power lines; ecological, technical and economic perspectives” – has been active for two years, although the main operational phase was delayed until autumn 2009. The overall OPTIPOL objective is to develop knowledge and tools to improve the decision on...
Some types of information and communication technology may contribute to reduction of energy and peak power consumption as well as to a more efficient deregulated power market. Automatic meter reading, remote load control and information through Web are examples of such technology. The paper describes...
In order to accelerate the deployment of capture and storage (CCS), engineers need experimentally validated models, among other things, to predict the mass flow rate in process equipment and flow restrictions like valves, nozzles and orifices. There are few available, relevant data for choked flow...
This paper reports on process synthesis and economics of combined methanol and CHP (combined heat and power) energy production from crude biooil, waste glycerol produced in biodiesel factories and biomass wastes using integrated reactor design for hydrogen rich syngas. This new process consists of three...
...heterogeneous nature of solid biomass fuels makes their combustion a substantial challenge compared to the more traditional fuel types such as fossil fuels and natural gas. Many studies found in the literature attempt at identifying enhancements in fuel properties of biomass after a thermal pretreatment step...
...various failure modes—spontaneous, missing or unwanted operation. The latter two types of failures only occur when an initial failure has happened, and thus are more likely to happen when the probability of failure of transmission lines is high, such as in an extreme weather scenario. This causes an...
SupraLog can contribute to increased European competitiveness and sustainability by developing, testing and validating a set of practical, robust and user friendly indicators for benchmarking European logistics. As a result of EU expanding eastwards, and an opening Russian economy, the European region is currently...
Statistical filter based sensor and data acquisition (DAQ) fault detection is presented in this study. The parameters of a large-scale data set of ship performance and navigation information are considered as statistical distributions and principal component analysis (PCA) is used to identify the hidden...
...required for operating Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). To assure the safety of MASS operations, the effective identification of potential objects and target ships interacting with the own MASS is quintessential. This study proposes a systematic method to identify the items interacting with the own...
