  1. 16. Machine Concept for Pulsed Electric Field Treatment of Leafy Products

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Patrik Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Product development; Opticept; PEF; Leafy Products; Prototyping; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis, executed in collaboration with Opticept Technologies, has the purpose of developing a machine concept that enables the treatment of leafy products with Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF). PEF is an emerging technology within the food industry that works by changing the cell membrane structure of food products by exposing them to high-voltage electric fields. READ MORE

  3. 17. A Preliminary Framework For The Selection Of Materials & Manufacturing Processes For Lunar Surface Systems Assuming Integration To A Space Circular Economy

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Gabriel Sanchez; [2022]
    Keywords : Embodied Energy; Space Habitat; Re-Purposability; Material Value; Sustainability; Space Recycling; Design for Recycling; Design to Repurpose;

    Abstract :  In-situ resource utilization and in-situ manufacturing are being actively pursued as ways to enhance the development of human activities in space. However, the re-purpose of space systems through processes like recycling, re-manufacturing, and re-use, has not received the attention it deserves given its potential to reduce the waste generated by human activities in space, improve the sustainability of space habitats, and reduce the environmental impact on Earth of human activities in space.

  4. 18. Bitcoin Mining in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Sixten Hager; [2022]
    Keywords : ASIC; Bitcoin; Bitcoin mining; proof-of-work; blockchain; district heating; heat recovery; climate change; Sweden; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Bitcoin mining is an industry which for many years has been criticized for its electricity consumption, which globally today equals roughly that of small countries such as Sweden, and its subsequent contribution to climate change. However, electricity consumption does not by default equals greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and not many studies have been done on the subject with a focus on Sweden, hence this study aims to provide some clarity to the otherwise opaque space of Bitcoin mining.

  5. 19. Comparing the Effects of Flexibility Options on Conventional and Low-temperature District Heating Networks : Studying the potential of the next generation of district energy systems

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Mario Nithyanathan; [2022]
    Keywords : District heating DH ; low-temperature district heating LTDH ; 4GDH; Flexibility; Thermal energy storage TES ; Optimization; Modelling; Fjärrvärme; Låg-temperatur fjärrvärme; 4GDH; Flexibilitet; Termisk energilagring TES ; Optimering; Modellering;

    Abstract : District heating (DH) systems have been commonplace in Europe for over a century. These systems have undergone an evolution since their conceiving, and today we are at the precipice of the next major transition from the third-generation district heating system (3GDH) to the fourth generation (4GDH).
