  2. 1. SOLIDS MIXING IN BUBBLING FLUIDIZED BEDS

    Author : Erik Sette; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid-dynamic scaling; Solids mixing; lateral dispersion; solids cross-flow;

    Abstract : For solid fuels, thermochemical conversion processes such as combustion and gasification are especially suitable to be carried out in fluidized bed units because of the relatively high mixing rates, fuel flexibility and the possibility to use active bed material to enhance process efficiency. Mixing of fuel is important to ensure complete conversion and reduced emissions of unburnt material. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diel vertical migration in marine dinoflagellates

    Author : Therese Jephson; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Key words: diel vertical migration; DVM; dinoflagellates; stratification; halocline; thermocline; behavior diel vertical migration; behavior;

    Abstract : Increasing precipitation and surface water temperature due to global change may strengthen stratification in coastal regions, which could influence the behavior of dinoflagellate diel vertical migration (DVM). DVM is a behavioral mechanism by which dinoflagellates can access photosynthetically active radiation near the surface, and nutrients at depth. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effective Models for Simulation of Thermal Stratification and Mixing Induced by Steam Injection into a Large Pool of Water

    Author : Hua Li; Pavel Kudinov; Michele Andreani; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermal Stratification; Mixing; Pressure Suppression Pool; Containment; Thermal Hydraulic; GOTHIC; Light Water Reactor; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Steam venting and condensation in a large pool of water creates both a source of heat and a source of momentum. Complex interplay between these two sources leads to either thermal stratification or mixing. READ MORE

  6. 4. Experimental analysis of thermal mixing at reactor conditions

    Author : Mattia Bergagio; Henryk Anglart; Paolo Vinai; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mixing estimator; empirical mode decomposition; Hilbert-Huang transform; uncertainty assessment; radial heat flux; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : High-cycle thermal fatigue arising from turbulent mixing of non-isothermal flows is a key issue associated with the life management and extension of nuclear power plants. The induced thermal loads and damage are not fully understood yet. READ MORE

  7. 5. Some aspects of the Atlantic ocean circulation

    Author : Rezwan Mohammad; Peter Lundberg; Johan Nilsson; Lawrence Mysak; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oceanography; Thermohaline circulation; Vertical mixing; Altimetry; Nordic Seas; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : The present thesis deals with the ocean circulation from two viewpoints: Pro primo, the dependence of the global thermohaline ocean circulation (THC) on the parameterization of the small-scale vertical mixing processes in the interior of the ocean, and, pro secundo, the dynamics of the circulation in the Nordic Seas. The THC is found be crucially dependent on the parameterization of the small-scale vertical mixing, two types of which have been compared: The commonly used constant diffusivity and a, physically more plausible, stability-dependent parameterization.
