  1. 6. Temperature dependent preening behaviour in common guillemots Uria aalge

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Saga-Savanna Kynman; [2023]
    Keywords : common guillemot; common murre; seabirds; Stora Karlsö; heatstress; temperature; preening; allopreening;

    Abstract : As global temperature increase, new thermal conditions may challenge the physiological limits of endotherms. Examining the direct effects of extreme temperatures is an important component in understanding how these physiological limits may impact an organism’s behaviour, breeding success and survival.

  3. 7. F.I.R.E.S.A.F.E : Automatic fire extinguisher using thermal imaging

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

    Author : Axel Strömbäck; Linus Sjöstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Thermal Imaging; Fire extinguisher; Raspberry Pi; Turret; Mekatronik; Värmekamera; Brandsläckare; Raspberry Pi; Kanontorn;

    Abstract : The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis was to create a functioning turret that can recognize heat sources and automatically shoot water at them using a thermal camera and water pump. The main areas to research was the cameras capability regarding fire detection and also the turret’s efficacy in putting out fires using this detection. READ MORE

  4. 8. Automated High-Temperature Pressure Sensor Verification and Characterization

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Algirdas Bartkevicius; [2023]
    Keywords : Pressure sensor; sensor verification; sensor characterization; piezoelectric sensor; dynamic pressure sensor;

    Abstract : Gas turbines are widely used in power generation. Monitoring pressure variations in the combustion chamber allows for real-time assessment of the turbines performance, and can be used to optimize combustion processes, leading to reduced emissions. READ MORE

  5. 9. Mathematical Modeling and Simulation of Cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen Storage

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Gusten Zandler Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Modeling; Simulation; Liquid Hydrogen; Storage tank; Modelica; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Liquid hydrogen is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels in the aviation industry, but storing it both before and during flights introduces many challenges pertaining to the cryogenic liquid conditions required. Having reliable models to predict the dynamical behavior inside the storage tank is therefore of great interest. READ MORE

  6. 10. Investigation on Enhancing Fire Threat Perception in Virtual Reality through Subject-Expectancy Effect

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Hsuan-Ting Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual reality; safe distance; subject-expectancy effect; thermal radiation; placebo effect; fire scenario.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the use of subject-expectancy effect on enhancing fire threat perception in virtual reality. The study involves a virtual fire scenario design and 33 participants who experience virtual fires of three different scales in the scenario using a head-mounted display as visual and auditory perception and adopting physical movement in real world as their way of locomotion.
