New processes that may reduce the net carbon emissions and contribute to a more circular economy are needed. Bi-reforming of methane (BRM) is a promising method for syngas production, with a hydrogen-to-carbon monoxide ratio of two in the reaction products, relevant for example when the purpose...

The use of graphene nanolubricant to enhance the performance of eco-friendly refrigerant (R600a) in a vapour compression system was investigated. The graphene nanoparticles were dispersed in the base lubricant and prepared for three different samples of graphene nanolubricant concentration of...

In this paper a novel compensating circuit, composed of capacitors, one IGBT switch, and a diode bridge is designed and employed within a SOFC distributed generation system connected to a micro-grid. The DG system consists of the FC stack, a Cuk converter, a three phase inverter, the proposed...

This study presents a framework for assessing and classifying Business Model Transformation (BMT) of established firms. Using Teece's definition of interlinked BM dimensions, we propose a diamond model to describe a change in a given firm's BM based on the following four dimensions: Target...

Sticky costs materialize when costs increase more with rising an activity than they decrease with falling of the very same amount of the activity. Over time a silent diffusion of sticky costs can be observed in the HoReCa (HOtel/REstaurant/CAtering) industry. In sticky costs literature the cost...
