In this doctoral thesis the transport properties in ternary mixtures are analysed. The general objective of the work, is the determination of the thermodiffusion, molecular diffusion and Soret coefficients in ternary ...

In this thesis, Soret, thermodiffusion and diffusion coefficients of several binary and ternary mixtures have been determined. In addition, thermophysical and optical properties such as density, thermal expansion, mass ...

The benefits of using Power Electronics Based DC Distribution Systems in electrically propelled vessels are well known. However, some aspects must be deeply analyzed to guarantee a safe, robust and stable system by design. ...

Since the conception of the first Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in the 1960s, Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) have evolved vastly. From the primitive isolated setups, ICSs have become increasingly interconnected, ...

Hot forging processes are highly influenced by the contact conditions between the work piece and the dies. An inaccurate definition of the contact conditions may lead to high deviation predictions of the final component ...

The environmental protection, with special emphasis on CO2 emissions reduction, is a growing demand that the transport industry has to fulfill. Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are interesting candidates as they can ...

Dental implants have emerged as the preferred choice for tooth replacement, reaching about one million implantations per year. Among factors affecting dental implant success, surface topography has been recognised as an ...

En las últimas décadas el uso de convertidores electrónicos conectados en paralelo con la red con el propósito de compensar reactiva ha aumentado considerablemente. Una de las finalidades de estos convertidores suele ser ...

Welding is the third most employed manufacturing process behind assembly and machining. These processes have a direct impact on several sectors such as machine-tool, transportation (automotive, naval, railway,…), energy ...

In the supply chain, the integration of the different processes is critical to obtain high levels of coordination. Inventory control and its distribution are two of these processes whose coordination have been demonstrated ...
