  2. 16. Hydro-mechanical optimization of a wave energy converter

    Author : Chisom Miriam Ekweoba; Andrej Savin; Halvar Gravråkmo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Ballast optimization; analytical model; pitching wave energy converter; power absorption performance; wave energy converter; geometry optimization; genetic algorithm; floating platform; extended degrees of freedom; beam model; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Wave energy conversion technology has gained popularity due to its potential to be-come one of the most preferred energy sources. Its high energy density and low car-bon footprint have inspired the development of many wave energy converter (WEC) technologies, few of which have made their way to commercialisation, and many are progressing.

  4. 17. Melt convection in welding and crystal growth

    Author : Minh Do-Quang; Gustav Amberg; Andreas Ludwig; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering physics; thermocapillary convection; gas-tungsten arc welding; floating zone; parallel computing; finite element method; Teknisk fysik; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : A parallel finite element code with adaptive meshing was developed and used to study three dimensional, time-dependent fluid flows caused by thermocapillary convection as well as temperature and dopant distribution in fusion welding and floating zone crystal growth. A comprehensive numerical model of the three dimensional time-dependent fluid flows in a weld pool had been developed. READ MORE

  5. 18. Airborne sound insulation of single and double plate constructions

    Author : Ulrica Kernen; Gudni Jóhannesson; Waldemar Maysenhölder; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction engineering; : Airborne sound insulation; single plate; double plate; floating-floor; sound reduction index; sound transmission.; Byggnadsteknik; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : The sound insulation demands for dwellings and public building has increased over the years as the number of sound sources has grown. From the outside our homes are exposed to noise from cars, trains, airplanes, etc. Noise intrudes from our neighbours and their television and stereo equipments. READ MORE

  6. 19. Use of Macro Basalt Fibre Concrete for Marine Applications

    Author : Ali Mohammadi Mohaghegh; Johan L. Silfwerbrand; Vemund Årskog; Anniken T.Karlsen; Björn Täljsten; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete Barges; Reinforcement Corrosion; Floating Structures; Macro Basalt Fibres; Self-Compacting Fiber Concrete; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Deterioration of concrete structures due to the corrosion of embedded steel is a well-known universal problem. Norway with its numerous bridges, ports, offshore and floating structures along its coastline, is also encountered with corrosion degradation. READ MORE

  7. 20. Lake Fluxes of Methane and Carbon Dioxide

    Author : Eva Podgrajsek; Erik Sahlée; Dennis Baldocchi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; air-lake gas exchange; carbon dioxide; eddy covariance; floating chambers; methane; waterside convection; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are two important greenhouse gases. Recent studies have shown that lakes, although they cover a small area of the globe, can be very important natural sources of atmospheric CH4 and CO2. READ MORE
