  1. 6. Development and analysis of fire suppresion during steel quenching : Three paths of analysis of fire- and smoke suppresion during steel hardening processes

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Alex Eidersjö; [2023]
    Keywords : Product development; Produktutveckling;

    Abstract : This thesis looks at an issue of excessive fire and smoke development during open tank quenching. The quenching in question being done as part of a hardening process of steel springs during manufacturing at Lesjöfors Fjädrar AB. The thesis was written under supervision of of Rejlers Sweden AB.

  3. 7. Effects of stratospheric wildfire smoke on ozone depleting substances and ozone levels in the northern midlatitudes

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

    Author : Christopher Grüner; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The goal of this project was to examine whether there are correlations between recent wildfires in the northern hemisphere and stratospheric ozone anomalies in the midlatitudes following the creation of ozone depleting substances. To achieve this goal, data from the Aura satellite's Microwave Limb Sounder instrument was used and processed with self-written Python scripts. READ MORE

  4. 8. Learning with fire, water and sun: A post-qualitative inquiry into Swedish friluftsliv education

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för didaktik och pedagogisk profession

    Author : Karin Isaksson; [2022-06-30]
    Keywords : Swedish friluftsliv education; new materialism; material-discursive entanglements; sustainability education; embodied learning; post-qualitative inquiry;

    Abstract : Aim: The aim of this study was to empirically investigate the emerging material-discursive entanglements between humans and more-than-humans within Swedish friluftsliv education, and argue for the ways in which these create didactical and pedagogical opportunities for teachers and students to contribute to a more sustainable world. Theory: The research was theoretically framed within a new materialist ontology focusing on the entanglement between matter and meaning and the configuration of phenomena as material-discursive (Barad, 2007).

  5. 9. Insights into the burning behaviour of wood in the cone calorimeter

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Ellinor Sanned; [2022]
    Keywords : Wood combustion; fire test; cone calorimetry; heat release rate; char formation;

    Abstract : Climate change and its accompanying environmental issues have caused the building industry to use more environmentally friendly building materials. Wood have always been a buildingmaterial but due to the renewed interest in imparting sustainability and renewability, its usage has increased over the recent years. READ MORE

  6. 10. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE
