Monitoring Sound and Its Perception during the Lockdown and De-Escalation of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Spanish Study
(MDPI, 2021)
The lockdown measures in Spain due to the SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic from 13 March to 21 June 2020 had extensive social and environmental implications. This study aims to understand how the ...
Folding and self-assembly of short intrinsically disordered peptides and protein regions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
Proteins and peptide fragments are highly relevant building blocks in self-assembly for nanostructures with plenty of applications. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and protein regions (IDRs) are defined by the ...
Pressure Drops and Energy Consumption Model of Low-Scale Closed Circuit Cooling Towers
(MDPI, 2021)
Heat transfer models of closed-circuit cooling towers are available in the literature. Using these models, traditional parametric studies show how the inlet conditions of the streams influence the cooling capacity. This ...
Compatibility studies between an indirect injection diesel injector and biodiesel with different composition: Stationary tests
(Elsevier, 2022)
Compatibility between automotive materials and biodiesel is key for engine manufacturers, since failures occur in the medium term and may significantly reduce engine useful life. There are only few studies about compatibility ...
Seasonal Analysis Comparison of Three Air-Cooling Systems in Terms of Thermal Comfort, Air Quality and Energy Consumption for School Buildings in Mediterranean Climates
(MDPI, 2021)
Efficient air-cooling systems for hot climatic conditions, such as Southern Europe, are required in the context of nearly Zero Energy Buildings, nZEB. Innovative air-cooling systems such as regenerative indirect evaporative ...
Sensitivity study of an opaque ventilated façade in the winter season in different climate zones in Spain
(Elsevier, 2015)
Energy efficient buildings need to take advantage of any renewable energy available. An opaque ventilated façade (OVF) is a kind of façade that absorbs solar energy and transfers it to the ventilation system. This way, the ...
Energy saving potential of a hybrid HVAC system with a desiccant wheel activated at low temperatures and an indirect evaporative cooler in handling air in buildings with high latent loads
(Elsevier, 2018)
Air handling in buildings with high latent loads usually requires a high-energy cost to satisfy the user’s thermal comfort needs. Hybrid systems composed of desiccant wheels, DW, and indirect evaporative coolers, IEC, could ...
Performance of an unglazed transpire collector in the facade of a building for heating and cooling in combination with a desiccant evaporative cooler
(Elsevier, 2018)
Refurbishment of energy inefficient buildings is an effective way of reducing energy consumption in urban areas. This can be done by taking advantage of the renewable energy sources available, mainly, solar energy. Desiccant ...
Experimental study of overheating of an unglazed transpired collector façade under southern European summer conditions for four modes of operation
(Elsevier, 2019)
The use of unglazed transpired collector (UTC) façades for air preheating in buildings has been proved to be an energy saving solution for refurbishing old buildings. However, not all climates are appropriate for the ...
First and second order simplified models for the performance evaluation of low temperature activated desiccant wheels
(Elsevier, 2016)
Hybrid systems with a desiccant wheel, DW, are an alternative to heating, ventilation and air conditioning, HVAC, commonly used systems for dehumidification and humidity control in rooms with high latent loads. Currently, ...
