  1. 1. Calibration of the Measurement System for Methane Pyrolysis in Rocket Nozzle Cooling Channels

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

    Author : Jennifer Ly; [2023]
    Keywords : Correlational method; gas analysis; real time measurements; speed of sound; thermal conductivity; methane pyrolysis; rocket nozzle cooling; Korrelationsmetod; gasanalys; mätningar i real tid; ljudhastighet; värmeledningsförmåga; metanpyrolys; kylning av raketmunstycken iv;

    Abstract : Methane-based rocket propellant is gaining traction as a green technology with advantages in sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and performance. However, under high temperatures found in rocket nozzle cooling channels, methane can undergo thermal decomposition known as methane pyrolysis, resulting in the generation of hydrogen and solid carbon.

  3. 2. Conceptualisation, Implementation and Commissioning of a Controlled Pyrolysis Rig : KTH Master Thesis Report

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

    Author : Arjun Monga; [2023]
    Keywords : coke deposition; pyrolysis; catalysis; methane; sample; cooling channels; regenerative cooling; rocket engines; koksavsättning; pyrolys; katalys; metan; prov; kylkanaler; regenerativ kylning; raketmotorer;

    Abstract : Liquid methane has seen popular interest from industry and academia as a next-generation rocket fuel due to its favorable performance characteristics and potential for extra-terrestrial in-situ resource utilisation. Since the rocket combustion chamber and nozzle are subject to high heat loads, regenerative cooling is a standard method to achieve lower temperatures. READ MORE

  4. 3. Mercury accumulation in lake sediments on different time scales – the influence of algal primary production

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anne Rebotzke; [2023]
    Keywords : mercury; lake sediment; primary productivity; algal scavenging; biogenic silica; diatom proxy; chlorophyll-a; organic matter;

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to test the proposed approach of algal scavenging as a driver of sediment mercury (Hg) on different time scales and to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of Hg accumulation in lake sediments. A 3000-year sediment record from Nylandssjön in northern Sweden was analysed for this purpose, as well as a 20-year sediment record from the seasonal sediment traps of this lake. READ MORE

  5. 4. Adaptable housing during crisis : Sustainable transition from tents to permanent accommodations.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Alex Dam; [2023]
    Keywords : Modular housing; Crisis management; Sustainability; Thermal comfort;

    Abstract : This study delves into the development of a long-term, sustainable housing solution to address the challenges faced during crisis when people are in immediate need of an accommodation. While temporary tents have been traditionally employed as shelters, their inefficiency in colder climates and lack of sustainability necessitate the exploration of alternative options. READ MORE

  6. 5. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE
