  1. 1. Heterogeneous catalytic reactions studied with transient gas supply and event-averaged ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience

    Author : Qianhui Liu; [2022]
    Keywords : Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; Event-averaging; Pd 100 surface structure oscillation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : CO oxidation over Pd(100) is studied with ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). Cyclic gas composition pulsing of the CO:O2 ratio, combined with a new method using software based event-averaging by image recognition over many pulses, is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio substantially.

  4. 3. Modelling the energy demand for transport in Sub-Saharan Africa : World Energy Outlook as a Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Amrita Dasgupta; [2019]
    Keywords : Energy demand projections; modelling; transport; infrastructure; Sub-Saharan Africa; road; rail; aviation; navigation; oil consumption; population; GDP; growth; urbanisation; air quality; sustainability; policies; development; Energibehovsprognoser; modellering; transport; infrastruktur; subsahariska Afrika; väg; järnväg; luftfart; sjöfart; oljekonsumtion; befolkning; BNP; tillväxt; urbanisering; luftkvalitet; hållbarhet; politik; utveckling;

    Abstract : Energy demand projections are essential tools that enable policymakers, engineers, scientists, stakeholders and investors to assess the future energy needs of a country and understand the technical, economic, social and environmental costs associated with meeting this demand. Such tools become further indispensable in the case of developing countries, where past consumption trends alone cannot indicate the trajectory of their future energy demand. READ MORE

  5. 4. Reactive Power Planning with Voltage Stability Constraints for Increasing Cross-Border Transmission Capacity

    University essay from KTH/Elektriska energisystem

    Author : Mana Farrokhseresht; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work Reactive Power Planning (RPP) is studied. It is the method which aims at locating reactive compensators of optimal size at an optimal location in order to achieve or optimize a certain objective. READ MORE
