    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Evelina Hansson; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : benthic; diatoms; cultivation; thermal performance; photosynthetic pigments;

    Abstract : Temperature has a significant impact on structure and abundance of microalgal community as well as on physiology (Sheehan et al., 2020). READ MORE

  3. 17. ACCESS TO URBAN COOL AND GREEN SPACES FOR OLD ADULTS IN GOTHENBURG – A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF RADIANT HEAT

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Robert Klein; [2023-01-19]
    Keywords : urban climate; heat stress; mean radiant temperature; SOLWEIG; urban vegetation; urban planning;

    Abstract : Old adults are particularly vulnerable against heat stress. Considering the ageing society and the projected increase of heat events, planning for heat-resilient urban environments for old adults will become increasingly important. READ MORE

  4. 18. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

  5. 19. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

  6. 20. Effect of temperature on early stage adhesion during TiAlN sliding against Inconel 718 and Stainless steel 316L : High temperature tribology

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Ahsan Ali; [2023]
    Keywords : High temperature tribology; Early-stage adhesion; Adhesive wear; Friction; Wear resistant coatings; Physical vapour deposition PVD coatings; TiAlN; Tungsten carbide WC Co ; Difficult to machine super alloys; Inconel 718; Stainless steel 316L; High-performance materials; Abrasion; Oxidation; Chipping; Ploughing; Characterization;

    Abstract : High-performance materials such as stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are widely used in demanding applications where high mechanical and thermal properties are required. The applications of super alloys are mainly found in jet engines, power plants and gas turbines demanding high fatigue strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as wear resistant properties.
