2. 1. Improved building energy simulations and verifications by regression

   Author : Jimmy Vesterberg; Thomas Olofsson; Folke Björk; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Calibrated simulations; Energy signature; Regression; BES; IDA ICE; Multifamily buildings; EUI;

   Abstract : It is common with significant differences between calculated and actual energy use in the building sector. These calculations are often performed with whole building energy simulation (BES) programs. In this process the analyst must make several assumptions about the studied building and its users.

4. 2. Fouling in biomass fired boilers

   Author : Jan Sandberg; Rebei Bel Fdhila; Erik Dahlqvist; Anders Nordin; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fouling; deposit; boiler; biomass; simulations; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : In order to reduce the discharge of the greenhouse gas CO2, the use of biomass is nowadays promoted as fuel in boilers. Compared to boilers fired with coal and oil the biomass-fired boilers have more complications related to both fouling and corrosion on the heat transfer surfaces. READ MORE

5. 3. Modelling of wear and galling in press hardening simulations

   Author : Liang Deng; Mats Oldenburg; Karl Nielsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Implementation of press hardened parts in automobile responses to the requirement of reduced carbon dioxide emission because the press hardened part has very high ratio of strength to weight. Furthermore, ultra high-strength steels (press hardened parts) increases the vehicle safety. READ MORE

6. 4. Evaluation and modeling of the flow in a slotted wall wind tunnel

   Author : Emil Ljungskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD Simulations; Ground Simulation; Uncertainty Quantification; Wind Tunnel; Tangential Blowing; Flow Uniformity; Slotted Walls;

   Abstract : As vehicle manufacturers strive to shorten the development time of new models, an increasing share of the aerodynamic development work is shifted from wind tunnel testing of prototype vehicles to numerical simulations of virtual models. However, comparing measurements from the wind tunnel with numerical simulation data is not straightforward due to several interference effects occurring between the wind tunnel and the tested vehicle.

7. 5. Computational Methods for Calculation of Ligand-Receptor Binding Affinities Involving Protein and Nucleic Acid Complexes

   Author : Martin Almlöf; Johan Åqvist; Chris Oostenbrink; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Theoretical chemistry; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; linear interaction energy; binding free energy; linear response; protein-protein interactions; structure-based design; point mutations; hot spots; solvation free energy; Teoretisk kemi;

   Abstract : The ability to accurately predict binding free energies from computer simulations is an invaluable resource in understanding biochemical processes and drug action. Several methods based on microscopic molecular dynamics simulations exist, and in this thesis the validation, application, and development of the linear interaction energy (LIE) method is presented.
