Characterisation, kinetics and modelling of gasification of poultry manure and litter: An overview (2011)
Journal Article
Font-Palma, C. (2012). Characterisation, kinetics and modelling of gasification of poultry manure and litter: An overview. Energy Conversion and Management, 53(1), 92-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2011.08.017

Environmental implications of the disposal of waste from the poultry industry have created the need for proper waste management. As a result, poultry litter has been proposed as a potential fuel candidate for thermal conversion technologies since it...

The Bioganix in-vessel composting system at Leominster, UK, received 33 515 t of waste from January 2006 to December 2007, of which 9200 t was source-segregated biodegradable municipal waste (BMW). The process operated with a nominal in-vessel retent... Read More about Mass and energy balance for a rotating-drum composting plant.

Full scale model investigation on the acoustical protection of a balcony-like faade device (L) (2011)
Journal Article

Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tang, S. K., & Piippo, K. E. Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades

Street canyons are common in modern cities. It is well known that the multiple sound reflections within the canyons tend to increase the noise levels inside the canyons. An scaled down model experiment was conducted in the present investigation to st... Read More about Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades.
