In this brief note, a first assessment on the possibilities for thermal osmotic storage using the thermal precipitation of aqueous solutions as alternative to sensible heat storage is performed. In a recent study it was ...

In this note, a brief survey is given to the possibility for a thermo-ducted kitchen hood where exhaust fan or other mechanical devices are no longer needed, and then, in addition, no sound is generated. The aim of this ...

In this note the role of cigarette smoking in the aerosolization and transport of COVID-19 through face masks is considered. On one hand, it is known that COVID-19 spreads primarily through water droplets generated ...

This paper presents the modeling of a photovoltaic system under complex shading conditions. The approach integrates a complete PV array with each cell modeled separately including shadow coefficients depending on a ...

Abordar el objetivo de mejorar el rendimiento de una instalación neumática pasa por minorizar el consumo y reducir las pérdidas de energía. Minorizar el consumo incluye tomar medidas encaminadas a consumir sólo cuando ...

Bénard-Marangoni convection and its significance with regard to film boiling heat transfer from micro heat sinks is discussed. In recent works cooling performance of micro heat sinks has been studied showing that two-phase ...

Esta obra describe los principios fundamentales que rigen el funcionamiento de las bombas y las instalaciones hidráulicas más usuales, sus características operativas y los criterios de diseño y selección. El contenido del ...

In a previous report, [1], the possibility for selective capture of Vespa velutina by the use of an air cannon was discussed. In this second report, we address the alternative possibility for selective capture of ...

The possibility to convert the ocean wave energy into electrical energy by piezoelectric layers has excited the imagination of ocean wave energy conversion designers for decades owing to its relative robustness (no mechanical ...
