Research field
  • Development of lubricants for wind turbines (eolic energy) and agricultural machinery
  • Sustainability studies of agroforest systems
  • Phase equilibria, thermodynamic and transport properties at high pressures
  • Measurement, correlation and modeling of thermophysical properties of simple fluids, ionic liquids, nanofluids and mixtures
  • Friction and wear of solid surfaces
  • Energetic characterization of solid and liquid biofuels
Technology services
  • Measurements of viscosities of several fluids: lubricants, hydraulic fluids. Determination of the viscosity index, viscosty-pressure coefficient and viscosity number
  • Measurements of liquids and gas using densimeters Anton Paar DMA 602, HP DMA512P and HPM linked to a pressure line (260-420K)(0,1400bar).
  • Energetic characterization of biofuels: determination of calorific values, density, ashes, carbon, volatiles, moisture, thermal stability, chemical analysis
  • Prediction of properties of pure fluids and multicomponent mixtures (vapor-liquid equilibria, liquid-liquid equilibrio, excess enthalpy, viscosity) by using group-contribution (UNIFAC, DISQUAC, Nitta-Chao), molecular or emprical models and equation of state
