Alvarez, C.M. (author), Ligthart, T. (author)PurposeThis literature review aims to present the current methodologies that have been developed to perform a social life cycle assessment (sLCA) and to display the main differences among them. In addition to that, to identify the nexus between sLCA and circular economy (CE) and to what extent this life cycle technique has been involved within...article 2021

Zhang, C. (author), Hu, M. (author), Laclau, B. (author), Garnesson, T. (author), Yang, X. (author), Tukker, A. (author)Buildings have become a major concern because of their high energy use and carbon emissions. Thus, a material efficient prefabricated concrete element (PCE) system was developed to incorporate construction and demolition waste as feedstock for residential building energy renovation by over-cladding the walls of old buildings. By conducting life...article 2021

Kanev, S. (author)Wake redirection is a wind farm control strategy that aims at increasing the overall power yield of a wind farm. It involves intentional misalignment of the rotors of upstream wind turbines with respect to the wind direction, thereby diverting their wakes aside from downstream turbines. The yaw misalignment angles are typically optimized using...article 2020

van Kampen, J. (author), Boon, J. (author), Vente, J.F. (author), van Sint Annaland, M. (author)Dimethyl ether is one of the most promising alternative fuels under consideration worldwide. Both the conventional indirect DME synthesis and the improved direct DME synthesis process are constrained by thermodynamics, which results in limited product yield, extensive separations and large recycle streams. Sorption enhanced DME synthesis is a...article 2020

(author)Impeller rotation, vortex shedding, secondary flows or a combination of these phenomena can lead to the generation of acoustic waves in the compressor cascade causing dynamic pressure loading on the impeller. When the eigenfrequency and eigenmode shape of the acoustic mode match with the structural ones of the impeller, high fatigue stresses and...conference paper 2020

Circular business models (CBMs) and their potential environmental benefits have been widely assessed by using life cycle assessment (LCA). However, most LCA studies consider static systems and assume instant and full technology adoption, limiting the analysis of the implications of circular transitions. Considering technology diffusion in LCA...article 2020
