Landfill disposal has thus far been the predominant treatment method for municipal solid waste (MSW) throughout Brazil, including São Paulo city. Environmentally sustainable development of MSW management in São Paulo ...

The amount of installed solar power in Finland tripled in 2016, reaching 27 MWp. In Finland there are no feed-in tariffs, and with the low price of electricity together with the annual distribution of insolation concentrating ...

The life cycle assessment (LCA) of municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems is typically rather arduous due to extensive data acquisition needed to calculate the direct and avoided emissions of the systems. A possibility ...

Gearboxes based on planetary gear sets are preferred for their advantages, such as higher gear ratios, improved self-centering capabilities, kinematic flexibility, favorable bearing support conditions and higher power ...

Demanding strength, manufacturability and critical weight limitations are generally the main criteria in the design and fabrication of structural components. The emergence and development of ultra-high and high-strength ...

This paper addresses the interface of steering, research, and business operators’ perspectives to bioenergy sustainability. Although bioenergy business operators are essential for sustainable development of bioenergy systems ...

The computational analysis of mechanical systems has a wide array of applications and is therefore essential in many fields of modern industry. This dissertation studies the simulation of mechanical systems using the ...

Direct contact condensation of steam bubbles in a boiling water reactor suppression pool has long been studied utilizing video recording of experiments. The use of video recording enables observation of the behaviour of ...

The aim of this letter is to develop a novel method for the monitoring of ultra-high-speed process of laser scribing with a high-speed camera and evaluate reliability and performance of the developed monitoring system with ...

Direct contact condensation (DCC) phenomena in boiling water reactor (BWR) pressure suppression pool systems need to be understood to properly assess the performance of the pool as a heat sink and as a safety critical ...
