1. Evaluating the Undrained Shear Strength of Sulphide-Bearing Soils in the Sundsvall Area
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Sulphide soils in Sweden are mainly found along the northeast coastline. These soils area characterized by their fine grain size, low shear strength and black, or grey, color. These soils are also found further south, in the Sundsvall area in Västernorrland, but have slightly lower sulphide content there. READ MORE

2. CFD Based External Heat Transfer Coefficient Predictions on a Transonic Film-Cooled Gas Turbine Guide Vane : A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study on the Von Karman Institute LS94 Test Case
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningsläraAbstract : The turbine inlet guide vanes of a gas-turbine are subjected to extreme hot gas temperatures which increases the risk of mechanical failure and overall reduces the component lifespan. Hence, it is of great interest for gas-turbine manufacturers to establish methods for accurately estimating the temperature distribution along the vane surface. READ MORE

3. Evaluating undrained shear strength of clay with DPSH-A - A down to earth assessment of the applicability in Scania, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods.

4. Cone penetration testing in the clay tills of Skåne - An investigation of the cone factor
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : The undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). READ MORE

5. Aerodynamic Loss Co-Relations and Flow- Field Investigations of a Transonic Film- Cooled Nozzle Guide Vane
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Over the last two decades, most developed countries have reached a consensus that greener energy production is necessary for the world, due to the climate changes and limited fossil fuel resources. More efficient turbine is desirable and can be archived by higher turbine-inlet temperature (TIT). READ MORE
