  1. 36. CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION GRIDS OF GOTLAND AND KLINTEHAMN

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sean Brinkhurst; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable Energy Transition; Electrical Grid; Climate Change; Spatial Analysis; RCP Scenarios.;

    Abstract : Climate change represents a critical threat to electrical infrastructure. With reliance on electricity expected to increase in Sweden due to the transition from fossil fuel based energy to greener energy sources, it is important that the reliability of the electrical grid be upheld.

  3. 37. Thermal tolerance of native vs. invasive marine species at the Northern coast of Portugal

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofie Michelsen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversity; Climate change; Marine ecosystems; Marine heat waves; Intertidal environment; Invasive species; Macroalgae; Mussels; Sustainable Development; Thermal tolerance;

    Abstract : Two prominent factors posing a major threat to biodiversity in marine ecosystems are climate change and the establishment of invasive species, and the interaction between these two. Because of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water, the coast of Portugal is a thermal refuge and distribution edge for cold-adapted species, making it a particularly important study area from a biodiversity point of view.

  4. 38. Thermal Investigation of the Green Revolution Energy Converter : A study on the heat transfer within the GREC in regards of temperature distribution and heat rate

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Wilma Fager; Maja Abrahamsson Bolstad; Emma Gustafsson; Emma Andersson; Matilda Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : GREC; Energy; Heat transfer; Heat rate; Temperature distribution;

    Abstract : To reduce emissions, new technological solutions can be of use. One technology which is currently being developed is the Green Revolution Energy Converter, GREC. GREC is an engine with the aim to produce electricity from temperature gradients.  This project is part of a greater project that is divided in two with different focus areas. READ MORE

  5. 39. Vulnerability of a water distribution network from a hydraulic point of view

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Carl Stagne; Jacob Thomas Svantesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Vulnerability; Criticality; Water distribution network; Hydrualic modelling; EPANET; MIKE ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the global population continues to grow and the demand for clean drinking water in-creases, the importance of a functioning water distribution network becomes evident. In the design and planning phase of a distribution network, a hydraulic model is a helpful tool for predicting consequences of an action and defining vulnerable parts of a network. READ MORE

  6. 40. Use of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as an aggregate for concrete

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Habib Loubani; [2023]
    Keywords : Polyvinyl chloride; PVC aggregates; natural aggregate concrete; PVC fine aggregates concrete; PVC coarse aggregates concrete;

    Abstract : This study investigates the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a partial substitute of natural aggregates in concrete as fine and coarse aggregates. Concrete was prepared by replacing natural aggregates with equal volume of grinded PVC, with volume replacement ratio as 10%, 50% for fine and then 10% and 50% for coarse aggregates. READ MORE
