Journal ArticleDOI
A review of processes and technologies for the recycling of lithium-ion secondary batteries
TL;DR: In this article, the current status of the recycling technologies of spent lithium-ion secondary batteries is reviewed, and the problems and prospect of their studies of their recycling technologies have been put forward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of cryogenic processes in permafrost and seasonally frozen soils
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermodynamic properties of soils subjected to seasonal temperature variations in both permafrost and seasonally frozen conditions, and compared the results with small-scale physical modeling experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of coupled heat, moisture and air transfer in a deformable unsaturated soil
Hywel Rhys Thomas,Y. He +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new theoretical formulation for the analysis of coupled heat, moisture and air transfer is presented, which is applicable to a deformable unsaturated soil, and three isothermal test problems are then considered to model the behaviour of unsaturated soils under varying stress and suction conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of research on the environmental impact of e-business and ICT.
Lan Yi,Hywel Rhys Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: The review has found that the currently dominant approach is either a micro-level case study approach or a macro-level statistical approach, and it is concluded that a more predictive and empirical model should be more beneficial in the long term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground heat transfer effects on the thermal performance of earth-contact structures
TL;DR: A review of ground heat transfer effects on the thermal performance of earth contact structures is presented in this paper, where the fundamental heat transfer processes relevant to the problem are described along with methods of determining thermal properties of soils.
