  1. 16. Learning from the Past - Evaluating Forecasts for Canadian Oil Sands Production with Data

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Friedrich Hehl; [2013]
    Keywords : oil sands; unconventional oil; analysis; heavy oil; Canada;

    Abstract : Crude oil plays an important role for the global energy system. As there is ample evidence that conventional oil production will have peaked by 2020, unconventional oil has attained a stronger focus. In particular, oil derived from bitumen from Canadian oilsands has been proposed as a possible remedy to global oil depletion. READ MORE

  3. 17. Evaluating surface energy components of asphalt binders using Wilhelmy Plate and Sessile Drop Techniques

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Anohe Bahramian; [2012]
    Keywords : Asphalt binder; Adhesion; Surface energy; Bitumen surface;

    Abstract : In this Study, the surface energy was investigated for six penetration grade 70/100 bitumen binders. Wilhelmy Plate and the Sessile Drop were used to determine the contact angles. READ MORE

  4. 18. Measurement of Bitumen Relaxation Modulus with Instrumented Indentation

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Trinh Ngoc Phan; [2012]
    Keywords : Instrumented indentation; Viscoelasticity; Spherical indenter; Relaxation modulus.;

    Abstract : Instrumented indentation testing was used to determine viscoelastic properties of bitumen, i.e. shear relaxation modulus. Review of previous studied reveals that indentation testing technique has been drawing increasing attempts in investigations of binder material mechanical properties. READ MORE

  5. 19. Oil Well Monitoring by Ultra-wideband Ground Penetrating Synthetic Aperture Radar

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Daniel Oloumi; [2012]
    Keywords : Ground penetrating radar; Synthetic aperture radar; Ultra-wide-band radar; Ultra-wide-band horn antenna ;

    Abstract : Radar has been used for remote sensing and surveillance for decades. Nowadays radar remote sensing and radar surveillance is used for many different things in the modern society. Radar can sense objects or environments from very long distance. Electromagnetic radar waves can work where and when light cannot. READ MORE

  6. 20. Wind Actions on Flat-Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic Panels : a Comparison of Design Guidelines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Jonas Vestin; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Wind actions on roof-mounted solar collectors dier from those on an open range-deployment, due to turbulence and wind stream deection induced by the underlying building. As of December 2010, no construction codes in eect describes the wind loads on such structures, with the exception of the preliminary standard NVN 7250 from the Netherlands, with the latest draft released in 2007.
