Journal Article
Ma, X., Hu, S., & Hu, W. (2024). Experimental study of optimization of thermoelectric modules’ number and layout for waste heat recovery. Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 57, Article 104322. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csite.2024.104322

A thermoelectric system should be designed in such a way that it harvests as large water heat as possible while using the least modules. To seek an optimal module number, the present study investigates the effect of source temperature, mass flow rate...

The present paper investigates the dynamic thermal behaviour of novel seasonal solar thermal energy storage using compressor-assisted thermochemical sorption technology to supply domestic space heating demands. The proposed compressor-assisted thermo... Read More about Dynamic modelling and performance analysis of compressor-assisted thermochemical sorption for seasonal solar thermal energy storage.

Uncovering nitrogen accumulation in a large mixed land-use catchment: Implications for national-scale budget studies and environmental management (2024)
Journal Article
Fan, X., Worrall, F., Baldini, L. M., & Burt, T. P. (2024). Uncovering nitrogen accumulation in a large mixed land-use catchment: Implications for national-scale budget studies and environmental management. CATENA, 246, Article 108366. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2024.108366

Accurately quantifying the location and extent of nitrogen accumulation is crucial for mitigating its severe impacts on climate and the environment. Here we estimated a spatial total N budget and its input/output fluxes from different land uses on a...
