2. 1. The influence of national curricula and national assessments on teachers’ beliefs about the goals of school mathematics

   Author : Björn Palmberg; Torulf Palm; Ole Björkqvist; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematical competence; competency goals; policy; reform; national curriculum; national assessment; teachers’ goals; teachers’ belief change; didactics of mathematics; matematikdidaktik;

   Abstract : What students should learn in school and therefore also what teachers should teach is an important issue worldwide. Mathematics teaching (and teaching in other subjects) is often regulated by some form of governing text in a written curriculum communcating a set of standards. READ MORE

   Abstract : U-pipe Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE) are widely used today in ground source heating and cooling systems in spite of their less than optimal performance. This thesis provides a better understanding on the function of U-pipe BHEs and Investigates alternative methods to reduce the temperature difference between the circulating fluid and the borehole wall, including one thermosyphon and three different types of coaxial BHEs.

   Abstract : The sales of Ground Source Heat Pumps in Sweden and many other countries are having a rapid growth in the last decade. Today, there are approximately 360 000 systems installed in Sweden, with a growing rate of about 30 000 installations per year. READ MORE

7. 5. Phase Change Phenomena During Fluid Flow in Microchannels

   Author : Rashid Ali; Björn E Palm; Gian Piero Celata; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microchannels; Boiling; Heat Transfer; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Abstract : Phase change phenomena of a fluid flowing in a micro channel may be exploited to make the heat exchangers more compact and energy efficient. Compact heat exchangers offer several advantages such as light weight, low cost, energy efficiency, capability of removing high heat fluxes and charge reduction are a few to mention. READ MORE
