Comparative Analysis of Web of Science and Scopus on the Energy Efficiency and Climate Impact of Buildings
(MDPI, 2020)Although the body of scientific publications on energy efficiency and climate mitigation from buildings has been growing quickly in recent years, very few previous bibliometric analysis studies exist that analyze the ... -
Morphological and Structural Evaluation of Hydration/Dehydration Stages of MgSO4 Filled Composite Silicone Foam for Thermal Energy Storage Applications
(MDPI, 2020)Salt hydrates, such as MgSO4·7H2O, are considered attractive materials for thermal energy storage, thanks to their high theoretical storage density. However, pure salt hydrates present some challenges in real application ... -
Approach for the analysis of TES technologies aiming towards a circular economy: case study of building-like cubicles
(Elsevier, 2020)The objective of this study is to establish an initial framework to evaluate and improve the sustainability of technologies integrating thermal energy storage to come closer to a circular economy. This is applied to a case ... -
Building thermal storage technology: Compensating renewable energy fluctuations
(Elsevier, 2020)Emerging technologies and new intelligent management systems will be needed to rise to the energy challenges posed by buildings today. Thermally activated building systems (TABS) are attracting growing interest on the back ... -
Sustainable adobe bricks with seagrass fibres. Mechanical and thermal properties characterization
(Elsevier, 2020)There is an incipient necessity and interest of generating sustainable materials for application in green buildings. In this study, the capability of Posidonia Oceanica seagrass, a biomass by-product from the Mediterranean ... -
Análisis de las tecnologías de almacenamiento de energía térmica dentro de la economía circular
(Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas (UCLV), 2019)Este trabajo presenta una nueva metodología desarrollada para evaluar y mejorar la sostenibilidad de sistemas energéticos que integren almacenamiento de energía térmica (TES, del inglés Thermal Energy Storage) dentro del ... -
Corrosion evaluation of eutectic chloride molten salt for new generation of CSP plants. Part 1: Thermal treatment assessment
(Elsevier, 2020)The operating temperature of a steam turbine is limited to 565 ºC by the molten nitrate heat-transfer fluid; therefore, a new molten salt chemistry is needed to increase the maximum operating temperature in the new generation ... -
Frost detection method on evaporator in vapour compression systems
(Elsevier, 2020)To preserve food nutrients, texture, and taste, as well as to prevent its putrefaction, food is frozen and kept at around −20 °C. Refrigerators and freezers are highly energy demand systems which can suf- fer a considerable ... -
Behaviour of a concrete wall containing micro‐encapsulated PCM after a decade of its construction
(Elsevier, 2019)Today, our society has the duty of reducing the energy consumed in the building sector. A promising technology to achieve this goal is the implementation of thermal energy storage (TES) solutions in buildings envelope. ... -
The role of buildings in the heating sector transition
(Publications Office of the European Union, 2019) -
A distributed argumentation algorithm for mining consistent opinions in weighted Twitter discussions
(Springer, 2019)Twitter is one of the most powerful social media platforms, reflecting both support and contrary opinions among people who use it. In a recent work, we developed an argumentative approach for analyzing the major opinions ... -
Using convolutional neural networks for classification of malware represented as images
(Springer, 2019)The number of malicious files detected every year are counted by millions. One of the main reasons for these high volumes of different files is the fact that, in order to evade detection, malware authors add mutation. This ... -
Life cycle assessment of carrier bags and development of a littering indicator
(Elsevier, 2019-05-28)Increased plastic consumption has resulted in high amounts of plastic waste ending up in the environment. Recently, the European Commission (EC) has identified a list of single-use plastics, including plastic bags, most ... -
Improving the production chain with LCA and eco-design: application to cosmetic packaging
(Elsevier, 2019-09-09)One of the main drivers for companies to perform environmental improvements is economic benefit, either by obtaining a more valuable product or gaining new customers. Circular economy combines environmental improvements ... -
Synthesis and Thermophysical Characterization of Fatty Amides for Thermal Energy Storage
(MDPI, 2019)Nine monoamides were synthesized from carboxylic acids (C8-C18) and crude glycerol. The final monoamides were the result of a rearrangement of the acyl chain during the final hydrogenation process. The purity of the final ... -
