1. 1. The atmospheric effects of Southern Ocean open-ocean polynyas onto the coastal polynyas from EC-Earth3

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Jakob Gunnarsson; [2023-05-10]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Polynyas are recurring areas of open water or thin ice within the sea ice pack, which alter the local oceanatmosphere heat and moisture exchange. They are differentiated as coastal (latent heat) or open-ocean (sensible heat) polynya according to their formation process. READ MORE

3. 2. Phase Change Material : Potential for increased fire resistance in concrete

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : William Toivanen; [2023]
   Keywords : Phase change material; concrete; fire resistance; integration into building materials; latent heat; melting;

   Abstract : The European commission has in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive from 2010 decided that its member states were required to ensure that all new buildings by the end of 2020 were nearly zero-energy buildings. These buildings require small amounts of energy compared to its performance in example by keeping a pleasant indoor climate. READ MORE

4. 3. Potential of tall oil pitch as phase change material in lignin-shelled hybrid nanocapsules for thermal energy storage.

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemiteknik

   Author : Helena Viberg Nissilä; [2022]
   Keywords : phase change materials PCM ; tall oil pitch TOP ; lignin; nanocapsules; hybrid material; thermal storage;

   Abstract : A prospect in utilizing thermal energy in development of energy systems is by the useof phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs are materials that can store and releaseenergy during phase changes, e.g. from solid to liquid. READ MORE
