"In this study the surrounding of Rosario de la Frontera was investigated for its suitability for geothermal energy production. The area is located in north-western Argentina, in the province of Salta, which is at the fo...

"The aim of this work is to evaluate the espina corona gum (ECG) as a sustainable viscosifier or filtration reducer additive in water-based drilling fluids (WBMs) as a potential replacement of guar gum (GG). ECG is a gal...

"The Organic Rankine Cycle technology is a reliable way to convert heat into electricity, especially when free heat is available in form of renewable energy (biomass, geothermal, solar) or as exhaust heat from industries...

Abstract Low thermal conductivity is a primary limitation in the development of energy-efficient heat transfer fluids that are required in many industrial applications. In this paper we propose that an innovative new cla...

We report the measurement of the thermal conductivity of a suspended single-layer graphene. The room temperature values of the thermal conductivity in the range approximately (4.84+/-0.44)x10(3) to (5.30+/-0.48)x10(3) W/...

"This thesis aims to develop a model for an industrial evaporative cooling system having a chiller and a production heat source using two cooling towers, to evaluate the energy consumption of the system and find an optim...

This thesis presents the development and simulation of a modular physically based thermal model of a building and a reversible R290 (propane) air-to-water heat pump, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape. The work ...

Much effort has been expended in the aerospace industry in order to achieve the highest quality standards required for nowadays technical and environmental necessities. This involves the increase of specific power and ov...

"In future, there will be an increasing demand for waste heat recovery systems (WHRS). So far current technologies are not expected to fulfill the requirement expected for a broad deployment. Thermoelectric generators (T...

"The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the 4 BB concepts being investigated in the EU for their possible implementation in a demonstration nuclear fusion reactor (DEMO). The choice of He a...
