Modelling of sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) process in fluidised bed reactors for low-carbon hydrogen production: A review (2023)
Journal Article
Udemu, C., & Font-Palma, C. (2023). Modelling of sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) process in fluidised bed reactors for low-carbon hydrogen production: A review. Fuel, 340, Article 127588. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2023.127588

Sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) offers lower capital costs than conventional steam reforming with carbon capture, which arises from the compact makeup that allows reforming and CO2 capture to occur in a single reactor. However, the technolo... Read More about Modelling of sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) process in fluidised bed reactors for low-carbon hydrogen production: A review.

Assessment of the mechanical role of cranial sutures in the mammalian skull: Computational biomechanical modelling of the rat skull (2023)
Journal Article
Sharp, A. C., Dutel, H., Watson, P. J., Gröning, F., Crumpton, N., Fagan, M. J., & Evans, S. E. (2023). Assessment of the mechanical role of cranial sutures in the mammalian skull: Computational biomechanical modelling of the rat skull. Journal of morphology, 284(3), Article e21555. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.21555

Cranial sutures are fibrocellular joints between the skull bones that are progressively replaced with bone throughout ontogeny, facilitating growth and cranial shape change. This transition from soft tissue to bone is reflected in the biomechanical p...

Sorption direct air capture with CO2 utilization (2023)
Journal Article
Jiang, L., Liu, W., Liu, W., Wang, R. Q., Gonzalez-Diaz, A., Rojas-Michaga, M. F., …Font-Palma, C. (2023). Sorption direct air capture with CO2 utilization. Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 95, Article 101069. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2022.101069

Direct air capture (DAC) is gathering momentum since it has vast potential and high flexibility to collect CO2 from discrete sources as “synthetic tree” when compared with current CO2 capture technologies, e.g., amine based post-combustion capture. I... Read More about Sorption direct air capture with CO2 utilization.
