  1. 1. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Astrofysik

    Author : Jonathan Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. READ MORE

  3. 2. Energy simulations of apartment buildings using IDA ICE

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Asim Mohammadusman Doddamani; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study presents an energy signature method for analyzing thermal inertia of apartment building located in Stockholm using IDA ICE software. The method involves analyzing the building’s consumption of energy hourly and calculating the temperature change rate of the building’s thermal mass. READ MORE

  4. 3. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Gizelle Danine Pondevida Jamero; [2023]
    Keywords : Permanent fire load; temporary fire load; fire load; building envelope; insulation; building content; upholstered furniture; heat of combustion; MCC; bomb calorimeter; cone calorimeter; room corner test.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. READ MORE

  5. 4. Energy audit of a single-family house in a city in the middle of Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Daniela Valentina García Gimeno; [2023]
    Keywords : energy audit; building energy efficiency; building envelope; renewable sources; windows efficiency; insulation of houses in Sweden;

    Abstract : The world is currently submerged in two big problems: supply energy crisis and climate change. It is clear that society has to do its best to overcome these challenges, and one effective way to mitigate their effects is by conducting an energy audit, which helps to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the buildings, enabling improvements in their thermal efficiency.
