Journal ArticleDOI

Photobioreactor design for microalgae production through computational fluid dynamics: A review

José C.M. Pires, +2 more
- 01 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: This study addresses the recent advances in CFD modelling of both open pond and closed bioreactors, analysing the interaction of hydrodynamics, light supply, heat and mass transfer and biological kinetics in bioreactor design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in gas and particulate phases of indoor environments influenced by tobacco smoke: Levels, phase distributions, and health risks

Dionísia Castro, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: The results showed that evaluation of benzo[a]pyrene alone would probably underestimate the carcinogenic potential of the studied PAH mixtures; in total ten carcinogenic PAHs represented 36% and 32% of the gaseous ∑ PaHs and in particulate phase they accounted for 75% and 71% of ∑PAHs at the smoking and non-smoking homes, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selection of heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production from animal fat

Joana M. Dias, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of reaction conditions on biodiesel purity, namely by using response surface methodology (RSM), was studied, by focusing on selecting a heterogeneous catalyst for pork lard transesterification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution from traffic emissions in Oporto, Portugal: Health and environmental implications

Klara Slezakova, +8 more
- 01 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the air pollution of the Oporto metropolitan area and its main impacts and showed that levels of CO, PM 10 and SO 2 have been continuously decreasing in the respective metropolitan area while levels of NO x and NO 2 have not changed significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI

PAH air pollution at a Portuguese urban area: carcinogenic risks and sources identification

Klara Slezakova, +7 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: Air quality and meteorological data were collected in Oporto and principal component regression indicated that SO2, NO2, PM10, CO, and solar radiation had positive correlation with PAHs concentrations, while O3, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed were negatively correlated.
