Domestic hot water production system in a hospital: Energy audit and evaluation of measures to boost the solar contribution
(Elsevier, 2022-12-15)Hospitals consume large quantities of energy to produce hot water and offset the distribution and recirculation thermal losses. This paper analyses a solar thermal system combined with gas boilers for domestic hot water ... -
Dynamics of the wing-tip vortex in the near field of a NACA 0012 aerofoil
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-04)The dynamics of the wing tip vortex in the near-field of a NACA 0012 aerofoil has been analysed by means of flow visualisations in a water tunnel. Different axial distances near the wing up to four chords, Reynolds numbers ... -
Effects of inertia on the time-averaged propulsive performance of a pitching and heaving foil
(Elsevier, 2023)The inertia may play an important role in the unsteady behavior of a flapping foil. Of particular relevance in forward flapping locomotion is how the foil inertia may affect its time-averaged propulsive performance. This ... -
Efficient self-propelled locomotion by an elastically supported rigid foil actuated by a torque
(Elsevier, 2022-11-19)A new theoretical model is presented for an aquatic vehicle self-propelled by a rigid foil undergoing pitching oscillations generated by a torque of small amplitude applied at an arbitrary pivot axis at which the foil is ... -
Evolutionary optimization of a motorcycle traction control system based on fuzzy logic.
(IEEE, 2014-11-13)Braking and traction control systems are fundamental vehicle safety equipments. The first ones prevent the wheels from locking, maintaining, when possible, the handling of the vehicle under emergency braking. While the ... -
Experimental determination of the standardised power of a solar funnel cooker for low sun elevations
