  2. 1. Thermal plasticity and limitations in tropical trees

    Author : Maria Wittemann; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acclimation; African tropical forest; chlorophyll fluorescence; climate change; drought; hydraulic; montane; photosynthesis; respiration; successional strategies; temperature; tropical trees; warming;

    Abstract : Tropical forests are the most carbon dense and biodiverse terrestrial biome on earth. In a time of global warming and biodiversity crisis, their preservation must be of high priority. At the same time, they likely operate close to their thermal limits because of a historically and seasonally stable environment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Indoor Thermal Environment in Supermarkets. A study of measured and perceived comfort parameters

    Author : Ulla Lindberg; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; refrigeration systems; supermarket; display cabinets; thermal comfort; thermal environment; interdisciplinary;

    Abstract : In the supermarket environment three different groups must be considered: food (food quality), personnel (working conditions) and customers. Customers are of particular interest since they make up the commercial basis for the supermarket. Currently, however, there are no recommendations on the indoor environment for this category.

  5. 3. CFD modelling of axial fans for thermal management applications

    Author : Randi Franzke; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MRF; CFD; RBM; Axial Fan; Thermal Management;

    Abstract : Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the key challenges in todays automotive industry. Different strategies to achieve this goal are, for example, to electrify the powertrain and to reduce the aerodynamic drag by reducing the amount of cooling air through the underhood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Single and Double Skin Glazed Office Buildings - Analyses of Energy Use and Indoor Climate

    Author : Harris Poirazis; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal environment; indoor climate; energy use; building performance; building simulations; double skin façades; Glazed office buildings; single skin façades; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : The energy efficiency and thermal performance of highly glazed office buildings are often questioned. However, nowadays glazed buildings are increasingly being built around the world, mainly due to an architectural trend, followed by the preference of companies to a distinctive image that a glazed office building can provide.

  7. 5. Modelling and design of high-power HBV multipliers

    Author : Mattias Ingvarson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal limitations; semiconductor; millimetre and sub-millimetre wave power source; varactor diode; frequency multiplier; heterostructure barrier varactor;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with symmetric varactor frequency multipliers for millimetre and sub-millimetre wave applications. Much of the material presented is general and applicable to any type of (symmetric) varactor, but the focus is on the heterostructure barrier varactor (HBV). The basic function and principles of HBVs are explained. READ MORE
