  • The hot corrosion of nickel-base disc alloys 
    Potter, Andrew (Cranfield University, 2011-11)
    The efficiency of a jet’s engines has a direct affect on its economic and environmental impact through the quantity of aviation fuel consumed and CO2 emitted. These factors are becoming increasingly important due to ...
  • House buyer perceptions on the value of water and grey water recycling systems 
    Horton, David (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-08)
    The population of the East of England is set to increase and climate change predictions suggest that the region will become drier; water resources will therefore come under increasing pressure. In order to meet future water ...
  • How companies embed non-quantifiable product qualities through their product development process 
    Guldbrandsen, Marianne Norden (Cranfield University, 2006-06)
    Many consumer products have reached a high level of technical product quality. Rapid adoption of new technologies and access to a global market means that markets are getting saturated. This means that technical ...
  • How do you turn a poacher to gamekeeper? Working with anti-corruption.

    “Going from Political Rhetoric to Anti-Corruption Action in Water: What will it take
  • How low can we go? An assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from the UK food system and the scope reduction by 2050. Report for the WWF and Food Climate Research Network 
    Audsley, Eric; Brander, M.; Chatterton, Julia C.; Murphy-Bokern, Donal; Webster, C.; Williams, Adrian G. (2010-03-01)
    The overall aim of this study was to develop a set of scenarios that explore how greenhouse gas emissions from the UK food system may be reduced by 70% by the year 2050. The work is focused on all emissions from the ...
  • How to Climate Proof Water Sanitation Services for the Urban Poor 
    Heath, Tom; Parker, Alison; Weatherhead, E. K. (Cranfield University, 2010)
    This report is based upon a 10 month project assessing the vulnerability of WSUP (Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor) projects to climate change, converting climate change predictions into recommended adaptations. The ...
  • Human error in the engineering design process. 
    Busby, Jeremy S. (Professional Engineering Publishing, 2000)
    A study was conducted of human error in the engineering process of 5 organisations that designed industrial equipment. Approximately 150 errors that had taken place were analysed individually and then coded according to ...
  • Human reliability analysis: A critique and review for managers 
    French, Simon; Bedford, Tim; Pollard, Simon J. T.; Soane, Emma (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2011-07-01)
    In running our increasingly complex business systems, formal risk analyses and risk management techniques are becoming a more important part of a manager's tool-kit. Moreover, it is also becoming apparent that human ...
  • Human – natural sports surface interaction 
    Guisasola , Igor (Cranfield University, 2008-10)
    The playing surface has a great influence on the outcome of a sport. It has a significant effect on the ball behaviour and the technical performance of skills of the sports participants, but it also impacts on their ...
  • Hybrid design based on wire and arc additive manufacturing in the aircraft industry 
    Chen, Jian (Cranfield University, 2012-12)
    Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a developing rapid prototyping and manufacturing technology which allows the production of large custom-made metal parts with high deposition rates, a major concern of the ...
  • Hybrid membrane processes for water reuse 
    Pidou, Marc (Cranfield University, 2006-10)
    Water recycling is now widely accepted as a sustainable option to respond to the general increase of the fresh water demand, water shortages and for environment protection. Because greywater represents up to 70% of ...
  • A hybrid remote sensing approach to quantifying crop residue burning in the United States 
    McCarty, J. L.; Loboda, T.; Trigg, Simon (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2008-04)
    Crop residue burning is an important land use activity in the United States. Currently, satellite-based burned area methodologies specifically calibrated for crop residue burning are limited. This article describes a ...
  • Hydrodynamics and mass transfer in obstructed narrow channels 
    Feron, Paul H. M. (Cranfield University, 1991-05)
    The objective of this research was to carry out a comprehensive investigation on hydrodynamics and mass transfer of different idealised geometries representing typical conditions which might occur in the narrow cells common ...
  • Hydrogen embrittlement of high strength steel electroplated with zincâ  cobalt allo 
    Hillier, Elizabeth M. K.; Robinson, M. J. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2004-03-03)
    Slow strain rate tests were performed on quenched and tempered AISI 4340 steel to measure the extent of hydrogen embrittlement caused by electroplating with zincâ  cobalt alloys. The effects of bath composition and ...
