Zhao, A. (author), Pecnik, Rene (author), Peeters, J.W.R. (author)Heating in industrial processes is responsible for approximately 13% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Switching from fossil-fuel based boilers to heat pumps can help mitigate the effect of global warming. The present work proposes novel high-temperature transcritical heat pump cycles targeted at heating air with a mass flow rate of 10...journal article 2024

Wang, Xiaoda (author), Zhao, Yuqing (author), Han, Lumin (author), Li, Ling (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Cylcohexanol is an essential bulk chemical that can be produced via cyclohexene hydration, a liquid-liquid two-phase reaction that is limited by the low reaction rate and the equilibrium conversion. Adding an appropriate solvent is the most promising method to break through these limitations. However, in previous works the solvent was almost...journal article 2023

Huang, R. (author), Zhao, Xuan (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Yu, Qiang (author), Liu, Chengqing (author), Daamen, W. (author)Pedestrian tactical choices and operational movement in evacuations essentially pertain to decision-making under risk and uncertainty. However, in microscopic evacuation models, this attribute has been greatly overlooked, even lacking a methodology to delineate the related decision characteristics (bounded rationality and risk attitudes), let...journal article 2023

Ma, Yunjian (author), Liang, Hongjing (author), Zhao, Zexin (author), Wu, Bin (author), Lan, Dongming (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Wang, Yonghua (author)Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC 1.11.2.1) are promising oxyfunctionalization catalysts because of their unique stereoselectivity. However, so far only a few UPOs have been reported. In this study, gene mining was used to identify a gene from Galerina marginata that coded for a novel UPO (GmaUPO). GmaUPO was expressed in Pichia pastoris X...journal article 2022

Hou, Naidan (author), Zhao, Renxi (author), Li, Jian (author), Wang, Xuan (author), Li, X. (author), Cui, Hao (author), Li, Yulong (author)Rain erosion may cause substantial damage to aircrafts during supersonic flight. Such event is investigated here via high-speed waterjet impact on composite laminates. An experimental setup is developed to produce waterjets with the speed up to 700m/s and a finite element model of the waterjet-composite impact event is established. The...journal article 2022

Chang, Haoliang (author), Huang, Jianxiang (author), Yao, Weiran (author), Zhao, Weizun (author), Li, L. (author)Urban rail development can increase land value, reduce commute time, and increase accessibility, as reported in the literature. However, little is known about the impact of opening urban rail transit stations on people's sentiment, particularly in the context of large metropolises where population density is significantly high. This paper...journal article 2022
