This paper deals with the design, realization and testing of an Earth magnetic field simulator, that allows to validate hardware in the loop algorithms, as well as to test new actuators. The design is driven by typical small satellites functional req... Read More about Helmholtz Cage Design and Validation for Nanosatellites HWIL Testing.

Pilot-scale calcination of limestone in steam-rich gas for direct air capture (2019)
Journal Article
Erans, M., Nabavi, S. A., & Manović, V. (2019). Pilot-scale calcination of limestone in steam-rich gas for direct air capture. Energy Conversion and Management, 1, Article 100007. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecmx.2019.100007

A novel polygeneration concept, which has been proposed recently, comprises a fuel-cell calciner integrated system in order to produce electricity and lime which can be used for direct air capture (DAC) to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. However, the... Read More about Pilot-scale calcination of limestone in steam-rich gas for direct air capture.

Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Choong, G. Y. H., De Focatiis, D. S. A., Lidgett, M. J., Thornton, M. J., & Clifford, M. J. Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics. Presented at Proceedings of the Europe/Africa Conference Dresden 2017 – Polymer Processing Society PPS, Dresden, Germany

In this work, we investigate the relationship between the timescales available for polymer mobility during processing and post-processing and the electrical resistivity of melt-processed thermoplastics filled with carbon nanoparticles. Post-process a... Read More about Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics.
