Appropriate hydrodynamic conditions are crucial in photobioreactors (PBR) in order to prevent sedimentation of microalgal biomass and to ensure the uniform exposure of microalgae cells to light and nutrients. Hydrodynamic conditions are also important to guarantee effic...

International audience; The combined dry-steam reforming (CDSR) of a model biogas (66% CH4 + 34% CO2) has been investigated under various feed compositions and reaction temperature conditions over a Ni-Rh/MgAl2O4 catalyst, with the objective to convert the excess of met...

The production of new automotive catalytic converters requires the increase of the quantity of Platinum Group Metals in order to deal with the strict emission standards that are imposed for vehicles. The use of PGMs coming from the recycling of spent autocatalysts could...

The synergistic effect of pre-bond contamination by thermal degradation and de-icing fluid on the tensile behavior of scarf composite bonded joints has been investigated experimentally. The contamination types considered are related to the repair process of composite ai...

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly playing a significant role in the design and optimization of renewable energy systems. Many AI approaches and technologies are already widely deployed in the energy sector in applications such as generation forecasti...

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the flexural properties and associated failure mechanisms of a reactive thermoplastic relative to traditional thermosetting resin systems (polyester, vinylester, epoxy) for potential application in marine vessels over 50 m in length,...

The hydrogen economy has received resurging interest in recent years, as more countries commit to net-zero CO2 emissions around the mid-century. “Blue” hydrogen from natural gas with CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is one promising sustainable hydrogen supply option. Alth...

Fiber reinforced polymers play a crucial role as enablers of lightweight and high performing structures to increase efficiency in aviation. However, the ever-increasing awareness for the environmental impacts has led to a growing interest in bio-based and recycled ‘eco-...

This paper proposes a new vibration-based structural health monitoring method for the identification of delamination defects in composite bulkheads used in small-length fiber-based ships. The core of this work is to find out if the variations of vibration energy can be ...

Metal oxide nanoparticles become increasingly important as functional materials because their diversity in composition and structure allow the control of their physical properties. This work investigates gas-diffusion electrocrystallization (GDEx) as a method to synthes...
