  1. 16. Obtaining Entropy via Coarsening: Microscopic Restrictions on Constitutive Equations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Veronica Wallängen; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Entropi och temperatur presenteras som fältvärden definierade i termer av lokala medelvärden av atomistiska storheter i rumtiden, och därmed tydliggörs ett icke-traditionellt samband mellan makroskopisk termodynamik och mikroskopisk fysik, utan sannolikhetsfördelningar och medelvärden över ensembler. Genom att analysera beskrivningar av ett termomekaniskt system på olika skalor visas hur termodynamikens andra lag måste begränsa konstitutiva ekvationer snarare än processer och hur detta är relaterat till begreppet reproducerbarhet samt hela existensen av en makroskopisk teori.

  2. 17. Oxidation and degradation of nickel-base alloys at high temperatures

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Frans Palmert; [2009]
    Keywords : oxidation; nickel; nickel-base; superalloy; PWA1483; IN792; turbine; cyclic; spalling; hardness; gamma prime; coarsening; degradation; microstructure;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis work is a study of oxidation and degradation of nickel-base alloys at high temperatures. The materials studied are designed for use in critical gas turbine components such as turbine blades and vanes. Some of the alloys are used today, whereas others have not yet entered commercial application. READ MORE

  3. 18. Mapping of Lower Cretaceous (Knurr Sandstone) turbidite lobes using Seismic Stratigraphy and prospectivity along the southern Loppa High Margin, Hammerfest Basin, Barents Sea, Norway

    University essay from Geofysik

    Author : Nauman Sattar; [2008]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Hammerfest Basin was formed through downfaulting in Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous times, allowing the deposition and preservation of Jurassic sediments which later were covered by thick Cretaceous sequences filling in the basin. This study has been conducted along the southern margin of the Loppa High to develop a complete sequence stratigraphic framework and to map Early Cretaceous Knurr Formation turbidite lobes along the slope of the High.
