1. 1. Phase and Interface Design in Potential Earth-Abundant Multi-Component Photocatalysts

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : David Llorens Rauret; [2022]
   Keywords : Facet control; in-situ TEM; nanoparticle heterostructures; phase transformation; transition metal phosphides; inorganic nanomaterials; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Transition metal phosphides are low-cost, earth-abundant semiconductors with promising properties for photocatalysis, including water-splitting. When combined with other semiconductors or noble metals in nanoparticles, their photocatalytic performance can be drastically enhanced. READ MORE

3. 2. Load following in a Swedish nuclear power plant

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Jacob Bjurenfalk; [2020]
   Keywords : chemical engineering; nuclear power; load following; process engineering; electricity production; APROS; Simulations; swedish power gird; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The energy system in Sweden is currently under a great transformation, where the part of weather dependent energy sources, so called intermittent sources, like solar and wind power will get greater share in the total production of electricity while the production from stable energy sources like nuclear power is decreasing. For a long time, the nuclear power have been operating at baseload and the hydropower as flexible, though, due to the change in the current power system, nuclear power plants may need to transit to flexible operation and apply load following.

4. 3. Development and testing of algorithms for optimal thruster command distribution during MTG orbital manoeuvres

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Lars Sprengelmeyer; [2020]
   Keywords : linear programming algorithms; linear optimization; thruster command distribution; thruster control; Simplex; Karmarkar s method; minimum power controller; minimum flow rate controller; minimum control authority;

   Abstract : An accurate satellite attitude and orbit control is a key factor for a successful mission. It guarantees for example sun acquisition on solar panels, fine pointing for optimal telescope usage or satellite lifting to reach higher orbits, when required. READ MORE

5. 4. A Method for Driving the Solar Control Mechanism Selection

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Vitaliya Mokhava; Christopher Nilsson; [2017]
   Keywords : Solar control mechanisms; Thermal comfort; Overheating; Solar control glass; Solar control blind; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Highly glazed spaces are continuously increasing in popularity due to architectural attractiveness. However, increased use of glass often jeopardizes thermal comfort in several ways and problem of overheating is one of them. A way to face this problem is to appropriately use solar control mechanisms. READ MORE

6. 5. Mission Concept for a Satellite Mission to Test Special Relativity

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Volkan Anadol; [2016]
   Keywords : BOOST; Special Relativity; Kennedy Thorndike; Eclipse duration; Ground visibility; Downlink feasibility; 3-axis stabilization; Spin stabilized satellite; Solar array estimation; Battery size estimation.;

   Abstract : In 1905 Albert Einstein developed the theory of Special Relativity. This theory describes the relation between space and time and revolutionized the understanding of the universe. While the concept is generally accepted new experimental setups are constantly being developed to challenge the theory, but so far no contradictions have been found. READ MORE
