AbstractThis paper analyses mathematical models and numerical simulation results for a notional miniature, planar, spiral transformer(MPST) fabricated in MEMS technology, for galvanic separation, proposed to equip an electric harvesting device (EHD). Twotypes of core – ferrite and (partially) magnetic nanofluid – are considered. We found that magnetization body forces occur in thesuper-paramagnetic nanofluid core and they result in complex, steady state flows consisting of fully 3D recirculation...

AbstractIn road traffic noise issues, experimental measurements are a relevant element in order to understand the problem and to adjustmodels. Sometimes, when measurements are not possible or in the designing phase, prediction models are used to perform anestimation of the equivalent level produced by a road infrastructure. Usually models parameters are obtained by a statistical datafit and thus they are related to the area where measurements have been performed. These models are suitable for st...

For this purpose, it was suggested to include recirculation cycles of wastewater in a sequentially pulsed manner in the anaerobic treatment followed by intermittent aeration in the aerobic-anoxic treatment. This novelty implemented in both sequential reactors was studied under pilot scale conditions. The process ...
