  • Carbon Brainprint Case Study: ceramic coatings for jet engine turbine blades 
    Parsons, David J.; Chatterton, Julia C.; Nicholls, John R. (2011-07-31)
    Ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are applied to jet turbine blades to protect them from the high temperature gases leaving the combustion chamber and to increase the efficiency of the engine. Professor John Nicholls ...
  • Carbon Brainprint Case Study: intelligent buildings 
    Parsons, David J.; Chatterton, Julia C.; Clements-Croome, Derek; Elmualim, Abbas; Darby, Howard; Yearly, Tom; Davies, Gareth J. (2011-07-31)
    It is estimated that non-domestic buildings were responsible for 18% of UK total greenhousegas emissions (582 Mt CO2e/year) in 2010. Of non-domestic building emissions, 34%(36 Mt CO2e/year) was due to lighting, office ...
  • Carbon Brainprint Case Study: optimising defouling schedules for oil- refinerypreheat trains 
    Parsons, David J.; Chatterton, Julia C.; Wilson, Ian; Ishiyama, Edward (2011-07-31)
    In an oil refinery, crude oil is heated to 360-370°C before entering a distillation columnoperating at atmospheric pressure where the gas fraction and several liquid fractions withdifferent boiling points (e.g. gasoline, ...
  • Carbon Brainprint Case Study: training for landfill gas inspectors 
    Parsons, David J.; Chatterton, Julia C.; Longhurst, Philip J. (2011-07-31)
    Anaerobic deterioration of biodegradable wastes in landfill sites is an important source ofgreenhouse gases. Of the estimated UK total of 2330 kt methane emitted in 2008, 966 kt(equivalent to 24 Mt of carbon dioxide) ...
  • Guidance for the calculation of carbon brainprints of higher education institution activities 
    Parsons, David J.; Chatterton, Julia C. (2011-07-31)
    This document is intended to provide a guide to assessing a carbon brainprint. It was developed as the project case studies were conducted, starting from a set of general principles and becoming more specific. It is guided ...
