  2. 1. Particle image velocimetry in practice

    Author : Torbjörn Green; Kristian Angele; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Experimental fluid mechanics has for a long time been used to visualize flow phenomenon. An early pioneer was Ludwig Prandtl who used aluminum particles in water flumes to describe the flow in a qualitative manner. In line with the rapid development of Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, the need for new validation tools has increased. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Power-system Benefits, Main-circuit Design, and Control of StatComs with Energy Storage

    Author : Hailian Xie; Hans-Peter Nee; Lennart Ängquist; Timothy Green; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy storage; Voltage source converter; VSC; Static synchronous compensation; StatCom; Active power compensation; Phase jump; Voltage dip; Weak network; Flux modulation; Deadbeat current control; Transformer saturation; Dual thyristor converter; dc interface; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Abstract : Static synchronous compensation (StatCom) is an application that utilizes a voltage source converter (VSC) to provide instantaneous reactive power support to the connected power system. Conventionally, StatComs are employed for reactive power support only. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nanocellulose and Metal-Organic Framework-Based Composites : Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

    Author : Shengyang Zhou; Chao Xu; Maria Strömme; Lars Wågberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanocellulose; Metal–organic frameworks; Nanocomposites; Interfacial synthesis; Porous materials; Energy storage; Water purification;

    Abstract : Nanocellulose is one of the most promising of the green materials available for use in a sustainable economy because of its natural abundance and renewability. Compared to petroleum‒derived synthetic polymers, nanocellulose has many unparalleled advantages such as its unique nanofibrous structure, high thermal stability, mechanical flexibility, rich surface chemistry, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.
