The collision of two laser generated plasma plumes can result, under appropriate conditions, in the formation of ‘stagnation layer’. The processes underlying this phenomenon are complex and time dependent. The majority of ...
Ireland has one of the highest energy dependencies in Europe and as such must adapt quickly to increase renewable energy exploitation levels in order to secure its energy future. A mix of renewable energy technology types ...
Detailed analysis of potential water chemistry and settlement issues associated with the installation of open-loop geothermal
systems is infrequently carried out. This has led to the failure of several previously installed ...
Increasing penetration of wind power on power
systems worldwide is resulting in the unconventional operation
of base-load generating units. These units which were originally
designed for operation at full output are ...
In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
With one of the highest energy dependencies in the European Union, Ireland
must adapt quickly to renewable energy technologies or risk paying the penalty in the
form of high energy prices in years to come. Escalating ...
A simple definition of a zero energy building (ZEB) is a stand-alone building which does not use any offsite
energy source for its operation. The definition is easily extended to buildings with a net-zero annual
on-site ...
Due to a lack of indigenous fossil energy resources, Ireland's energy supply constantly teeters on the brink of political, geopolitical, and geographical unease. The potential risk to the security of the energy supply ...
Article 7 of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires Member States to implement energy certification for buildings, and particularly for large public buildings, requires an energy certificate to be displayed ...
