Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Mechanics

Abel Rouboa mostly deals with Waste management, Syngas, Municipal solid waste, Mechanics and Computational fluid dynamics. His work on Pyrolysis and Wood gas generator as part of his general Waste management study is frequently connected to Syngas to gasoline plus, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Wood gas generator study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Integrated gasification combined cycle, Fossil fuel and Producer gas.

Within one scientific family, Abel Rouboa focuses on topics pertaining to Heat of combustion under Syngas, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Fluidized bed. His work carried out in the field of Municipal solid waste brings together such families of science as Waste disposal and Incineration. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Incineration, narrowing it down to issues related to the Chemical energy, and often Environmental engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • Influence of the Biomass Gasification Processes on the Final Composition of Syngas (109 citations)
  • Co-gasification and recent developments on waste-to-energy conversion: A review (105 citations)
  • The effect of swimmer's hand/forearm acceleration on propulsive forces generation using computational fluid dynamics. (99 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Mechanics, Syngas, Waste management, Computational fluid dynamics and Municipal solid waste. His research in Syngas intersects with topics in Fluidized bed, Heat of combustion, Hydrogen production, Wood gas generator and Process engineering. His studies in Heat of combustion integrate themes in fields like Mole fraction, Pulp and paper industry and Energy conversion efficiency.

His studies deal with areas such as Fluent and Volume as well as Waste management. His research investigates the connection between Computational fluid dynamics and topics such as Turbulence that intersect with problems in Flow. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Municipal solid waste, focusing on Environmental engineering and, on occasion, Refuse-derived fuel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (43.00%)
  • Syngas (68.12%)
  • Waste management (60.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Syngas (68.12%)
  • Waste management (60.39%)
  • Heat of combustion (27.54%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Syngas, Waste management, Heat of combustion, Municipal solid waste and Plasma gasification. Abel Rouboa has researched Syngas in several fields, including Miscanthus, Hydrogen production, Microplastics, Process engineering and Pulp and paper industry. His work on Tar and Wood gas generator as part of general Waste management research is often related to Life-cycle assessment, thus linking different fields of science.

His Tar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Exergy efficiency and Exergy. His Heat of combustion research integrates issues from Fluidized bed, Mole fraction and Energy conversion efficiency. His study in Municipal solid waste is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pyrolysis and Incineration.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Co-gasification and recent developments on waste-to-energy conversion: A review (105 citations)
  • Hydrogen production using plasma gasification with steam injection (38 citations)
  • Hydrogen production using plasma gasification with steam injection (38 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Mechanics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Syngas, Waste management, Wood gas generator, Tar and Environmental engineering.
