Publikováno v: Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science. 92:259-269

This work characterizes the inward melting and freezing of phase change materials (PCMs) within small diameter polymer tubes under convective boundary conditions. Using air as the heat transfer fluid, a custom-built experimental apparatus was used to

Life Cycle Economic and Environmental Implications of Pristine High Density Polyethylene and Alternative Materials in Drainage Pipe Applications

Autor: Long Nguyen, Grace Hsuan, Sabrina Spatari

Publikováno v: Journal of Polymers and the Environment. 25:925-947

A life cycle assessment (LCA) and cost analysis were conducted to compare the environmental and economic performance of nanocomposite polymers that use pristine and recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer with pristine, and pristine/recycle
