Protic ionic liquids mono, di, triethanolamine laurate as green phase change materials: thermal energy storage capacity and conversion to electricity
(Springer Nature, 2024-01-01)A promising solution for challenges in thermal energy storage (TES) and its management is the use of phase change materials (PCMs). The ionic liquids (ILs) offer a unique properties that make them proper candidates for a ... -
A psychrometric model to assess the biological decay of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in aerosols
(PeerJ Inc., 2021-03-02)There is increasing evidence that the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has been influenced by variations in air temperature and humidity. However, the impact that these environmental parameters have on survival of the SARS-CoV-2 ... -
A psychrometric model to predict the biological decay of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in aerosols
(2020-11-30)There is increasing evidence that the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has been influenced by variations in air temperature and humidity. However, the impact that these environmental parameters have on survival of the SARS-CoV-2 ... -
Punching behaviour of column-slab connection strengthened with non-prestressed or prestressed FRP plates
(Elsevier, 2018-04)Fracture resistance of concrete column-slab connections, with low reinforcement ratios and strengthened by carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates, is often governed by debonding failure modes. In this paper, a ... -
P–N junction-based ZnO wearable textile nanogenerator for biomechanical energy harvesting
(Elsevier, 2021-07-01)Wearable nanogenerators have attracted intensive interest owing to their ability to convert the energy from body movement and the surrounding environment to electronic signals, which can power portable/wearable electronic ... -
Quadrupolarizability of Liquid Mixtures.
(ACM, 2020-12-15)Theoretical expressions for the macroscopic polarizability and quadrupolarizability of a quadrupolar mixture are derived. The theory is demonstrated on the example of a liquid mixture of methane and nitrogen (nonquadrupolar ... -
The quantification of methane emissions and assessment of emissions data for the largest natural gas supply chains
(Elsevier, 2021-08-01)Methane emitted from natural gas supply chains are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, but there is uncertainty on the magnitude of emissions, how they vary, and which key factors influence emissions. This study ... -
Quantifying the Hydrophobic Effect per CF2 Moiety from Adsorption of Fluorinated Alcohols at the Water/Oil Interface
(MDPI, 2024)Amphiphilic fluorocarbon substances are a trending topic of research due to their wide range of applications accompanied by an alarming environmental and health impact. In order to predict their fate in the environment, ... -
Quantifying the impact of shape uncertainty on predicted arrhythmias
(Elsevier, 2023)Personalised computer models are increasingly used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias and tailor treatment. Patient-specific models of the left atrium are often derived from pre-procedural imaging of anatomy and fibrosis. ...
