An equivalent self-adjusted heat capacity method for modelling heat diffusion p...
Soares, Nelson; Rosa, Nuno; Matias, Telma; Lopes, António Gameiro; Simões, Pedro Nuno; Durães, Luísa; Costa, José JoaquimThis work evaluates the thermal behaviour of a small aluminium-container-based thermal energy storage (TES) unit filled with a microencapsulated phase change material (PCM) – Micronal® DS 5001 X. ANSYS CFX® software is used for the 3D numerical simulations, which are based on the Effective Heat Capacity (EHC) method considering a purely diffusive transient model. In the formulation, a new artificial self-adjust...
Temperature regulation of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels with mova...
Soares, Nelson; Gaspar, Adélio Rodrigues; Matias, Telma; Lopes, António Gameiro; Simões, Pedro Nuno; Durães, Luísa; Costa, José JoaquimThis paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the improvement of photovoltaic (PV) performance through temperature regulation of a commercial polycrystalline silicon PV panel, by placing a movable thermal energy storage (TES) unit filled with a free-form commercial paraffin-based PCM (RT22HC) on the panel's back. The outdoor apparatus is located in Coimbra, Portugal (40.19N, 8.42W). Three identical PV p...
Antimicrobial peptide-gold nanoscale therapeutic formulation with high skin reg...
Comune, Michela; Rai, Akhilesh; Chereddy, Kiran K; Pinto, Sandra; Aday, Sezin; Ferreira, André F; Zonari, Alessandra; Blersch, JosephineChronic skin wounds affect ≈3% of persons aged >60years (Davies et al., 2007) [1]. These wounds are typically difficult to heal by conventional therapies and in many cases they get infected making even harder the regeneration process. The antimicrobial peptide (AMP) LL37 combines antimicrobial with pro-regenerative properties and thus represents a promising topical therapy to address both problems. Here, we inv...
