Analytical results for the propulsion performance of a flexible foil with prescribed pitching and heaving motions and passive small deflection
(Cambridge, 2021-01-28)The propulsive performance of a flexible foil with prescribed pitching and heaving motions about any pivot point location and passive chordwise flexural deflection is analysed within the framework of the linear potential ... -
App-Mohedo®: a mobile app for the management of chronic pelvic pain. A design and development study
(Elsevier, 2024-03-15)Background Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) has been described as a public health priority worldwide, and it is among the most prevalent and costly healthcare problems. Graded motor imagery (GMI) is a therapeutic tool that has ... -
Arrow-shaped elasto-inertial rotating waves.
(The Royal Society, 2023-03-13)We present direct numerical simulations of the Taylor– Couette flow of a dilute polymer solution when only the inner cylinder rotates and the curvature of the system is moderate (η = 0.77). The finitely extensible nonlinear ... -
Assessing the performance of a renewable District Heating System to achieve nearly zero-energy status in renovated university campuses: A case study for Spain
(Elsevier, 2023-09)This paper presents the implementation of a biomass-fuelled District Heating System (DHS), as a part of a deep energy renovation exercise to achieve a climate-resilient campus with minimum carbon dioxide emissions. The ... -
Assessment of natural ventilation strategy to decrease the risk of COVID 19 infection at a rural elementary school
(Elsevier, 2023)Natural ventilation in low-budget elementary schools is the main focus to ensure the health and comfort of its occupants, specifically when looking at the global pandemic related to SARS-COV-2. This paper presents an ... -
Axisymmetric inertialess model for the capture of airborne microparticles using an electrospray.
(Elsevier, 2023-10-06)We theoretically analyze the effectiveness of an electrospray of ultrafine droplets to filter out micron sized particles from a gas stream. To that end, we introduce an axisymmetric configuration where the airborne particles ... -
Coupling centrifuge drainage with microwave drying operation: description of cake desaturation before drying
(American Filtration & Separation Society, 2013-07-01)Centrifuge drainage is an operation which found main applications in pharmaceutical, chemical and textile industry. It is an efficient and economic process, and is frequently used before a thermal drying to eliminate most ... -
Design and Assessment of Survey in a 360-Degree Feedback Environment for Student Satisfaction Analysis Applied to Industrial Engineering Degrees in Spain
(MDPI, 2023-02-13)The number of students enrolled in engineering studies in Spain is in decline, mainly due to the difficulty in passing the subjects, whose factors may be linked to the science-related content of the subject, a very demanding ... -
Design and testing of a steering damper for motorcycles based on a shear-thickening fluid.
(IOP, 2022-08-02)This work is intended to show the feasibility of the utilisation of a shear-thickening fluid as working fluid in a steering damper for motorcycles. To that end, a prototype of a steering damper has been designed and then ... -
