Life cycle energy and carbon analysis of a road-safety barrier produced using r...
Monteiro, H.; Ribeiro, I.; Gonçalves, M.; Iten, M.; Caetano, Nídia S.Increasing end-of-life material recovery and its application in new products is essential to reduce resource consumption. This paper assesses the cradle-to-gate life cycle energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of a new road safety barrier product to be installed around guardrails’ poles. To analyze the potential life cycle benefit of incorporating recycled materials, a base case product A, produced with con...
Investigating the impact of C p -T values determined by DSC on the PCM-CFD model
Iten, M.; Liu, S.; Shukla, Ashish; Silva, Pedro Dinho daFor the numerical analysis of Phase Change Material (PCM) enable energy storage based heating/cooling technologies, thermo-physical properties of PCM are very important inputs. It is of vital significance to thermal characterise of PCM to obtain phase change temperature range and the relationship of specific heat capacity with temperature (Cp-T). This is simply done by using differential scanning calorimetry (D...
