Experiments on a lab scale TES unit using eutectic metal alloy as PCM
; Rodríguez Aseguinolaza, Javier; ; ; ; ; (Elsevier, 2015-05)
The behavior of a magnesium and zinc eutectic metal alloy used as thermal energy storage (TES) material is tested in a laboratory scale TES unit. The TES unit consists of two concentric tubes with the central tube surrounded ... -
Fibre–Wood Laminate Biocomposites: Seawater Immersion Effects on Flexural and Low Energy Impact Properties
; ; ; López Arraiza, Alberto (MDPI, 2022-09-27)
The present paper explores a new concept of a hybrid eco-composite by substituting the natural fibre plies with thin wood veneers. The new composite, named Fibre–Wood Laminate (FWL), is inspired by fibre–metal ... -
Human error in marine accidents: Is the crew normally to blame?
(Elsevier, 2021-02-17)This paper analyses the marine accident reports published by the USA National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) between June 1975 and September 2017, in order to ascertain the exact influence of the crew and/or other ... -
In Vitro Surfactant and Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Deposition in a Neonatal Physical Model of the Upper Conducting Airways
Goikoetxea, Estibalitz; Murgia, Xabier; Serna-Grande, Pablo; Valls Soler, Adolfo; Rey Santano, María Carmen; Rivas, Alejandro; Antón, Raúl; Basterrechea Elguezabal, Francisco José; Miñambres Durán, Lorena; Méndez Alija, Estíbaliz; López Arraiza, Alberto ; ; Gómez Solaeche, Miguel Ángel (Public Library Science, 2014-09-11)
Objective: Aerosol delivery holds potential to release surfactant or perfluorocarbon (PFC) to the lungs of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome with minimal airway manipulation. Nevertheless, lung deposition in ... -
Latitude error in compass deviation: mathematical method to determine the latitude error in magnetic compass deviation
(Gdansk University of Technology, 2014-10)This article aims to provide the seafarer with a tool to calculate the deviation for a righted ship in any geographical position using only the information available on board. In this way the accidental errors in the ... -
Managing bathers’ capacity at overcrowded beaches: A case on the Spanish North Atlantic coast
(Elsevier, 2018-11-09)Tourism development at small beaches leads to overcrowding and, consequently, tends to increase the hazards for bathers. The techniques to manage the bathers' capacity include the knowledge of the area where the bathers ... -
Methodological Design Optimization of a Marine LNG Internal Combustion Gas Engine to Burn Alternative Fuels
