1. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

2. Syn-Magmatic Deformation Structures in the Slaufrudalur Pluton, East Iceland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Structures and deformation mechanisms of magmatic rocks are controlled by rheology. An increase in melt fraction can weaken a rock body and localises significant amount of strain. This interplay between rheology, melting and deformation in a magma reservoir, however, is not always clearly documented in literature. READ MORE

5. Geological characterization of rock samples by LIBS and ME-XRT analytical techniques
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknikAbstract : One of the major challenges in earth sciences and mineral exploration has been to determine with high accuracy and at a fast rate the elemental composition as well as the general chemistry of a rock sample. Many analytical techniques e.g. READ MORE
