The Iron & Steel industry is one of the biggest industrial CO2 emitters in the European Union. The present work analyzes the potential for the improvement of the energy efficiency and CO2 emission reduction for this sector up to 2030. Three scenarios are analyzed: baseline scenario (BS)...

Thermoelectric self-cooling systems hold good prospects for the future, since they improve the cooling of any heat-generating device without electricity consumption. The potential number of applications seems to be enormous, hence the necessity of a specific model to simulate this type of...

The mixed bicycle flow refers to the bicycle flow containing electric bicycles. The traffic characteristics data of the mixed bicycle flow was collected by the virtual coil method in Nanjing and Ningbo, China. And the speed–density characteristics of the mixed bicycle flow with different...

The increase in the power of photovoltaic systems involves a significant grow in the number of modules that make them up. The known problems caused by the shading are not usually taken into account in the design of a photovoltaic central away from urban environments. The aims of this study are...
