  1. 6. Possible unexpected peaks from oil drop size measurements in milk

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Laura Schalkwijk; Rodrigo Olmedo Sotomayor; [2020]
    Keywords : laser diffraction; oil droplet size; milk; pasteurised milk; unexpected peaks; mastersizer; food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The shelf life of milk is amongst others dependent on the size of the oil droplets. These droplets can be measured using the laser diffraction (LD) technique. LD is a popular technique to measure particle size distributions (PSD) that has an outstanding broad measuring range capability, is easy-to-use and has a high reproducibility. READ MORE

  5. 9. Experimental Characterisation and Modelling of a Membrane Distillation Module Coupled to aFlat Plate Solar Collector Field

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

    Author : David d’ Souza; [2018]
    Keywords : Solar thermal; solar desalination; membrane distillation; permeate gap membrane distillation; spiral-wound module;

    Abstract : An experimental characterisation of a pre-commercial spiral wound permeate gap membrane distillation module was carried out to test its performance at different operating conditions for the purpose of seawater desalination. The experimental setup consisted of a flat plate solar collector field indirectly coupled to the permeate gap membrane distillation module via an inertia tank. READ MORE

  6. 10. Forming an Inventory Control Policy in a Stochastic Environment: A Case Study at Sandvik Crushing and Screening

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Author : Anders Mattisson; David Alsmarker; [2018]
    Keywords : Inventory Control; Stochastic Lead Time; Stochastic Demand; Input Analysis; Optimization; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Background: For most companies that handle large material flows there are buffers between different stages in the supply chain, often referred to as inventory.
