  1. 1. Investigation of different ventilation profiles to avoid stratification in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Alazne Irene Varela Santana; [2023]
    Keywords : stratification; water model; comfort; mixing; temperature; potential energy; net zero energy building;

    Abstract : This research paper examines possible solutions for the problems that warm air heating is suffering in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. These NZEBs are passive houses constructed to have high energy efficiency where the quantity of power used is equal to the power created annually, produced locally or in the surroundings by renewable energy sources.

  3. 2. An STM-based study of Bi deposition on InAs(110)

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

    Author : Tobias Alpskog; [2020]
    Keywords : Bismuth; Deposition; STM; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : III-V semiconductor compounds containing Bi, such as InBi, have recently attracted much attention due to predictions of band inversion and topological insulators. The predictions showed that films of InBi could be applicable in quantum computers and at room temperature. READ MORE

  4. 3. Plasma diagnostics for particle confinement studies in magnetic fusion devices

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Linus Hägg; [2018]
    Keywords : Interferometry; Interferometer; double color interferometer; two-color interferometer; Fusion; Plasma; Fusion plasma; Spectroscopy;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the performance and improves a double color interferometer setup, absolutely calibrates a line radiation Balmer H-alpha measurement setup, and uses measurements from both setups to estimate the particle confinement time of a plasma. The double colour interferometer at the magnetic confinement plasma device EXTRAP T2R measures the line integrated electron density of the plasma. READ MORE

  5. 4. The thermal structure of exoplanet atmospheres

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Matthew Agnew; [2015]
    Keywords : exoplanet; atmospheres; cold trap; hot jupiter; thermal inversion; thermal structure; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context. The discovery of hot Jupiters, giant gas exoplanets on tight orbits close to their host star, has proven instrumental in the study of exoplanet atmospheres through transit spectroscopy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Comparison of stress behaviour in thermal barrier coatings using FE analyses

    University essay from Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Hansson; Kristoffer Skogsberg; [2012]
    Keywords : TBC; TGO; FE Analysis; microstructure; surface rougness; residual stresses;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis project was to compare the stress behaviour in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with FE analyses in both 2D and 3D. The main focus was to analyse the vertical stresses in the topcoat (TC) and how they varied in relation to different thicknesses of the thermally grown oxide (TGO), spraying methods of the bondcoat (BC) and the topography of the BC.
