A semi-flooded cooling for a high speed machine: Concept, design and practice of an oil sleeve (2017)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes a semi-flooded cooling concept for a high speed machine design. The electrical machine considered is for an aircraft starter-generator system where power density and efficiency are crucial. In order to achieve the high power densi...

Comparative LCA of different graphene production routes (2017)
Journal Article

This study is an LCA of three graphene production routes: electrochemical exfoliation of graphite rods, chemical oxidation and subsequent chemical or thermal reduction and chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Different processes for each route are analy... Read More about Comparative LCA of different graphene production routes.

Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications (2017)
Journal Article

The high cost and energy intensity of virgin carbon fibre manufacture provides an opportunity to recover substantial value from carbon fibre reinforced plastic wastes. In this study, we assess the life cycle environmental implications of recovering c... Read More about Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications.

Recycling graphene from supercapacitor electrodes as reinforcing filler for epoxy resins (2017)
Journal Article

A wet shredding process has been developed for recycling graphene from the electrodes of supercapacitors into polymer composites. At first, supercapacitors are cut open to expose the interior graphene based electrodes. The electrodes are heat-treated...

Continuous Photo-Oxidation in a Vortex Reactor: Efficient Operations Using Air Drawn from the Laboratory (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 American Chemical Society. We report the construction and use of a vortex reactor which uses a rapidly rotating cylinder to generate Taylor vortices for continuous flow thermal and photochemical reactions. The reactor is designed to operate un... Read More about Continuous Photo-Oxidation in a Vortex Reactor: Efficient Operations Using Air Drawn from the Laboratory.

Energy and environmental assessment and reuse of fluidised bed recycled carbon fibres (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) recycling and the reutilisation of the recovered carbon fibre (rCF) can compensate for the high impacts of virgin carbon fibre (vCF) production. In this paper, we evaluate the energy and envi... Read More about Energy and environmental assessment and reuse of fluidised bed recycled carbon fibres.
