The effect of defueling rate on the temperature evolution of on-board hydrogen tanks
Abstract During the driving of a fuel cell car, the expansion of the hydrogen along the emptying of the high pressure storage tank produces a cooling of the gas. The hydrogen vessel can experience a fast depressurization during acceleration or under ...

Stochastic assessment of pillar stability at Laisvall mine using Artificial Neural Network
Abstract Stability analyses of any excavations within the rock mass require reliable geotechnical input parameters such as in situ stress field, rock mass strength and deformation modulus. These parameters are intrinsically uncertain and their...

Seismic Attribute Analysis of the Indicator for Gas Hydrate Occurrence in the Northwest Ulleung Basin, East Sea
Abstract Based on the interpretation of 3D seismic profiles, the shallow sediments consist of five seismic units. BSRs and acoustic blanking are located within the gas-hydrate stability zone as indicators for the presence of gas hydrate....

A thermo-hydro-mechano-chemical formulation for modeling water transport around a ventilated tunnel in an argillaceous rock
Abstract Argillaceous rocks are being considered as potential host rocks for deep geological disposal. For the research work in DECOVALEX-2011, 5 participant research teams performed simulations of a laboratory drying test and a ventilation...

A model of carbon capture and storage with demonstration of global warming potential and fossil fuel resource use efficiency
Abstract Increasing greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere influences global climate change even though the level of impact is still unclear. Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly seen as an important component of broadly...

The Construction of Complex Networks from Linear and Nonlinear Measures – Climate Networks
Abstract During the last decade the techniques of complex network analysis have found application in climate research. The main idea consists in embedding the characteristics of climate variables, e.g., temperature, pressure or rainfall, into the...
