1. 11. Acoustic Characterization of Catalyst

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Surachit Dokson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The WHO has set a sound level threshold of 55 dB, beyond which noise is considered harmful to humans when exposed for an extended period of time. It is, however, estimated by the European Environmental Agency that over 110 million people in the EU are regularly exposed to levels of traffic noise above 55 dB. READ MORE

3. 12. Advancement of Supercapacitor in Automotive Applications

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

   Author : Murali Mohan; Sreekanth Vijayan; [2023]
   Keywords : : hybrid electric vehicles HEVs ; battery-supercapacitor energy storage system; topology; supercapacitor;

   Abstract : The rising use of fossil fuels and the resulting rise in environmental harm have fueled the advancement of automobiles that are fuel-efficient. A severe existential challenge facing the planet earth has given rise to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which have developed from their incipient stage and are shown promise as a solution.

4. 13. Research on the Hydrothermal Conversion of Xylose Catalysed by CO2-H2O into Furfural

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Robert Liao; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Agricultural waste treatment and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion have been critical challenges for sustainable development. This work is part of a study on converting straw into biofuels, which involves using xylose as the material, carbon dioxide (CO2) as the catalyst, and water (H2O) and Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent to produce furfural through hydrothermal conversion.

6. 15. Fouling modelling in a UHT unit based on plant data.

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

   Author : Thai Lam; [2023]
   Keywords : UHT; dairy; tubular heat exchanger; fouling development; fouling removal; food engineering; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : Heat treatment of dairy products is essential for food safety, one way to perform this is ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. During the process, macronutrients and minerals form fouling deposits which impairs heat transfer. Eventually the fouling needs to be removed chemically by alkaline and acidic detergents. READ MORE
