Differential thermal voltammetry for tracking of degradation in lithium-ion batteries
, Journal of Power Sources, Vol: 273, Pages: 495-501, ISSN: 0378-7753Monitoring of lithium-ion batteries is of critical importance in electric vehicle applications in order to manage the operational condition of the cells. Measurements on a vehicle often involve current, voltage and temperature which enable in-situ diagnostic techniques. This paper presents a novel diagnostic technique, termed differential thermal voltammetry, which is capable of monitoring the state of the battery using voltage and temperature measurements in galvanostatic operating modes. This tracks battery degradation through phase transitions, and the resulting entropic heat, occurring in the electrodes. Experiments to monitor battery degradation using the new technique are compared with a pseudo-2D cell model. Results show that the differential thermal voltammetry technique provides information comparable to that of slow rate cyclic voltammetry at shorter timescale and with load conditions easier to replicate in a vehicle.

Introduction of sustainability concepts into industrial engineering education: A modular approach
, Advances in Engineering Education, Vol: 4Sustainability in operations, production, and consumption continues to gain relevance for engineers. This trend will accelerate as demand for goods and services grows, straining resources and requiring ingenuity to replace boundless supply in meeting the needs of a more crowded, more prosperous world. Industrial engineers are uniquely positioned to incorporate sustainability concepts into this work; their focus is on systems, and in observing these systems at a high level, they can most effectively choose which parts of the systems to modify to produce desired results. In this paper, we explore using the vehicle of education to introduce sustainability concepts into industrial engineers' training. We first survey the current state of sustainability education in industrial engineering programs. We then discuss a curricular modification program in which sustainability was introduced into several courses through use of content-focused modules. We conclude with our recommendations on how such a structure can be used to expand sustainability education in industrial engineering programs at all levels.

Integrating research data management into geographical information systems
, CEUR Workshop Proceedings, Vol: 1529, Pages: 7-17, ISSN: 1613-0073Ocean modelling requires the production of high-fidelity com-putational meshes upon which to solve the equations of motion. The production of such meshes by hand is often infeasible, considering the complexity of the bathymetry and coastlines. The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is therefore a key component to discretising the region of interest and producing a mesh appropriate to resolve the dynamics. However, all data abociated with the production of a mesh must be provided in order to contribute to the overall recomputability of the subsequent simulation. This work presents the integration of re-search data management in QMesh, a tool for generating meshes using GIS. The tool uses the PyRDM library to provide a quick and easy way for scientists to publish meshes, and all data required to regenerate them, to persistent online repositories. These repositories are abigned unique identifiers to enable proper citation of the meshes in journal articles.

Industrial and agricultural sources and pathways of aquatic pollution
, Impact of Water Pollution on Human Health and Environmental Sustainability, Pages: 29-54This chapter provides an introduction to the topic of aquatic pollution and looks at the major sources and pathways of pollutants to the environment from agriculture and industry. The section on agricultural pollution focuses on the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Industrial pollution covers a large topic and so three groups of pollutants are examined to provide an overview of the key issues faced within this sector.

Enhancement of natural limestone sorbents for calcium looping processes
, Calcium and Chemical Looping Technology for Power Generation and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture, Editors: Fennell, Anthony, Publisher: Woodhead (Elsevier), Pages: 73-105, ISBN: 978-0-85709-243-4Calcium looping (CaL) is a high-temperature solid looping cycle that can be used for post- or precombustion capture of CO2. Limestone (predominantly CaCO3), a cheap and abundant material, is purged in quite large quantities to ensure high reactivity, since it degrades significantly over time. The loss in reactivity is caused by either physical effects, for example, sintering or attrition, or chemical means, for example, the competing side reaction with SO2 from fuel. Much of the research has been of processes to improve sorbent behaviour; investigated here are the reactivation techniques of hydration, recarbonation and pelletization, as well as the sorbent-enhancement techniques of doping and thermal pretreatment.

End use of lime-based sorbents from calcium looping systems
, Calcium and Chemical Looping Technology for Power Generation and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture, Editors: Fennell, Anthony, Publisher: Woodhead (Elsevier), Pages: 153-169, ISBN: 978-0-85709-243-4Calcium looping (CaL) is a technology that uses a recyclable solid. However, all solid sorbents eventually require either regeneration or replacement, as they are degraded by physical or chemical processes. Implicit in the CaL approach is that the primary sorbent (limestone) is less expensive than the carefully manufactured sorbents associated with chemical looping, for instance. This means that larger amounts of spent sorbents are likely to be produced and will require treatment. This chapter looks at the various possibilities of using spent sorbents produced by CaL processes, focusing particularly on the power industry, steel and cement production.
