A system design framework for the integration of public preferences into the design of large infrastructure projects
Abstract Large infrastructure projects such as new roads, railways and nuclear plants have often suffered from public opposition, causing significant delays and costs. In many cases poor engagement between the supporters of construction and the...

Modelling and Flow Conditioning to Manage Discolouration in Trunk Mains
Abstract This paper presents predictive discolouration modelling and subsequent field trial results for a cast iron trunk main network. This enabled a UK water company to propose an ‘operational flow conditioning’ maintenance plan that reduces...

Feasibility of hydrogen production from steam reforming of biodiesel (FAME) feedstock on Ni-supported catalysts
Abstract The catalytic steam reforming of biodiesel was examined over Ni-alumina and Ni–ceria–zirconia catalysts at atmospheric pressure. Effects of temperatures of biodiesel preheating/vaporising (190–365°C) and reforming (600–800°C), molar steam...
