  1. 1. Multifunctional ice and snow repellent coatings for photovoltaic modules

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Gunnar Sandkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : sol-gel; superhydrophobic; dip-coating; anti-reflective; silica;

    Abstract : Implementation of solar power by photovoltaic modules in cold climates, such as northern Sweden, implies several challenges. Ice and snow coverage not only leads to reduction in energy production due to shading, but it also puts equipment at risk from additional weight. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fabrication of battery separator by coating with sulfonated cellulose nanofibrils on kraft paper and inkjet paper substrates : Tillverkning av batteriseparator genom bestrykning med sulfonerad cellulosananofibriller på kraft papper och bläckstråle papper substrat

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för kemiteknik

    Author : Forat Alshogran; [2023]
    Keywords : modified nanocellulose; coating; battery separator; contact angle; mechanical strength; permeance; ionic conductivity;

    Abstract : Modified nanocellulose have distinctive qualities and have drawn a lot of interest from a variety of fields. It is a natural, sustainable product that is manufactured from plant-based materials like wood and other renewable resources. It is also biodegradable. READ MORE

  4. 3. A plant-based milk powder that functions as a substitution for regular milk powder

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

    Author : Manon Scheffers; [2023]
    Keywords : spray drying; pant- based milk powder alternative; pea protein; food application; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This project tested the potential of plant based milk powders to function as an animal-based milk powder by testing them on multiple characteristics. The powders were produced using spray drying techniques, obtained using formulations differentiating in protein amount, ratio of maltodextrin:sucrose and two different protein sources. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of materials and texturing on wettability of ski base

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : ROSHAN SWAR; [2022]
    Keywords : Cross-country skiing; Stone grinding; UHMWPE;

    Abstract : Cross-country skiing has turned into the most highly competitive winter sport, with skiers having the ability to win by merely milliseconds. Every year researchers, ski - technicians, and athletes come together to prepare the ski base surface that gives the best possible results. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of Immiscible Compressor Oil in a Flooded PSHE Evaporator : A Visual Study Approach

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Joel Blomfelt; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper deals with heat transfer in plate evaporators, with a focus on the effects caused by carried-over compressor oil ending up in the heat exchanger. A common standpoint in literature regarding the effect of immiscible oil contamination, in for example an ammonia PHE evaporator, is that the oil can accumulate as a layer on the plate surface causing an additional thermal conduction resistance.
