  2. 1. Thermodynamic analysis of Stirling engine systems : Applications for combined heat and power

    Author : Joseph Adhemar Araoz Ramos; Torsten Fransson; Carlos Augusto Santos Silva; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stirling engine; Thermodynamic analysis; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

    Abstract : Increasing energy demands and environmental problems require innovative systems for electrical and thermal energy production. In this scenario, the development of small scale energy systems has become an interesting alternative to the conventional large scale centralized plants. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exergy Analysis in Buildings : A complementary approach to energy analysis

    Author : Marco Molinari; Folke Björk; Gudni Jóhannesson; Ivo Martinac; KTH; []
    Keywords : Exergy; Energy; Building systems performance; Built environment.;

    Abstract : Though mandatory to be pursued, improved energy efficiency is not the only target to reach. The quality of energy has to be assessed as well. Most of the overall energy use in residential building is for low temperature heat, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. SOD1 Aggregation : Relevance of thermodynamic stability

    Author : Lisa Lang; Mikael Oliveberg; Michele Vendruscolo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aggregation; misfolding; Superoxide dismutase SOD1 ; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS ; unfolding; thermodynamic stability; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting the upper and lower motor neurons causing muscle atrophy and paralysis followed by death. Aggregates containing superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are found as pathological hallmark in diseased ALS patients. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermal System Analysis : heat transfer in glass forming and fluid temperature-control systems

    Author : Karl Storck; Rolf Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Thermal system analyses are often required, and conducted, in engineering problems in almost all engineering disciplines. The methods employed vary a great deal and must be specially adapted for each situation. Basically, two different methods are used, namely distributed modelling and lumped parameter modelling.

  7. 5. Permanental Point Processes on Real Tori

    Author : Jakob Hultgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Point Processes; Monge-Ampère equations; Affine Manifolds; Point Processes;

    Abstract : The main motivation for this thesis is to study real Monge-Ampère equations. These are fully nonlinear differential equations that arise in differential geometry. They lie at the heart of optimal transport and, as such, are related to probability theory, statistics, geometrical inequalities, fluid dynamics and diffusion equations. READ MORE
