  1. 16. Urban Planning for Better Air Quality : A case study of the Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods in London

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Greta Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods; London; Green Infrastructure; Urban Planning; Air Pollution;

    Abstract : Air pollution affects the environment negatively, boosts climate change, and is the cause of millions of deaths per year, first and foremost affecting the people living in urban areas. Since the early 20th century, many cities have been planned around cars, which are the main contributors to the bad air quality. READ MORE

  3. 17. Rail-air transport competition : A discrete choice analysis along with an international empirical investigation

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Evgeny Nikolaev; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is an increasing interest among many nations to decrease CO2 emissions.Promoting more sustainable modes of transportation is one particular area that has roomfor improvement. For instance, short and medium distance flights can bepotentially substituted by high-speed rail (HSR). READ MORE

  4. 18. Improving the understanding of heat transfer when boiling solid foods

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

    Author : Dat Nguyen Trong; [2022]
    Keywords : fluid-to-particle heat transfer coefficient; heat transfer; pool boiling; boiling; simmering; starch gelatinization; unsteady-state heat transfer analysis; food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Determination of the fluid-to-particle heat transfer coefficient hfp is a fundamental problem in food engineering. Solutions to this problem help food technologists and cooks prepare foods with desired characteristics more efficiently in time and energy use. This study aims to determine the hfp-value in simmering and boiling solid foods. READ MORE

  5. 19. Flying through cometary jets with the Rosetta spacecraft

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Brais Gesto Herrera; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

  6. 20. Developing a Rainfall-Runoff Routing Model using  Spatially Distributed Travel Times : Modelling a Cloudburst Event in an Urban Catchment

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sara Ekeroth; [2022]
    Keywords : Excess rainfall; Runoff routing; Cloud burst; Pluvials; GIS; ArcPy; Effektiv nederbörd; Avrinningsmodell; Skyfall; Pluviala översvämningar; Geodata; ArcPy;

    Abstract : The future holds challenges for urban areas when it comes to handling pluvial floodings, occurring when the rainfall intensity exceeds both the man-made and natural infiltration and drainage capacity. To gain understanding of the effects and needed measures, tools for modelling the urban response to events such as cloudbursts are needed. READ MORE
