Numerical investigation of system pressure effect on heat transfer of supercritical water flows in a horizontal round tube (2008)
Journal Article

The system pressure effect on heat transfer of supercritical water (SCW) flows in a horizontal round tube has been studied by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, aiming for extending previous researches on the buoyancy effect by furth...

A comparative study of attitude theory and other theoretical models for understanding travel behaviour (2008)
Journal Article

In this study we investigate the extent to which the integration of psychological mechanisms from attitude theory into conventional analytical approaches can advance our understanding of travel behaviour. Three models, which explain volitions (intent... Read More about A comparative study of attitude theory and other theoretical models for understanding travel behaviour.

The gift of travel time (2008)
Journal Article

The interpretation of travel time in economic terms has played a fundamental part in shaping our transport systems. The time consumed in order to travel to a destination has been seen as the price paid for fulfilling the purpose of reaching that dest... Read More about The gift of travel time.
