A detailed thermo-economic model combining thermodynamics with economic analysis and considering different technological alternatives for the thermochemical production of liquid fuels from lignocellulosic biomass is presented. Energetic and economic models ...
One of the main bottlenecks to deploying large-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in power plants is the energy required to separate the CO 2 from flue gas. For example, near-term CCS technology applied to coal-fired power plants is projected t ...
During the formation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), metal centres can coordinate with the intended organic linkers, but also with solvent molecules. In this case, subsequent activation by removal of the solvent molecules creates unsaturated ‘open’ met ...
A review of the state of the art gas turbine power plants designs with CO2 capture was performed to set up a list of technologies to be considered in a conceptual process superstructure. It has been found that the efficiency and economics of carbon dioxide ...
More than 100 million tonnes of municipal solid waste are incinerated worldwide every year1. However, little is known about the fate of nanomaterials during incineration, even though the presence of engineered nanoparticles in waste is expected to grow2. H ...
This paper describes the production of "green" microfibrillated cellulose-reinforced polylactide cellular biocomposites using a wet mixing technique combined with super-critical carbon dioxide foaming. The effect of composition on the morphology, density a ...
This paper presents the derivation of surface-related quality indicators describing the confidence-metrics of the final geo-products de- rived from airborne laser scanning (ALS). We first discuss the number of factors influencing the qual- ity of the digit ...
This report presents the work done in the frame of a Minor in Energy project in the school of Mechanical Engineering at the Swiss Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), in order to obtain 10 ECTS credits. It is to install, instrument and test an exhau ...
Ce document présente la réalisation et les essais d’un générateur de gaz chauds offrant la possibilité de simuler les conditions de sorties d’une pile à combustible SOFC plane. Le document fait également part du design d’un banc d’essais visant à utiliser ...
structural defects induced by He implantation in GaN epilayer at high fluence (1 X 10(17) He/cm(2)) and elevated temperature (750 degrees C) have been studied by conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. In addition to the planar i ...
