  2. 1. Thermodynamic properties of humid air and their application in advanced power generation cycles

    Author : Xiaoyan Ji; Jinyue Yan; Umberto Desideri; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; air-water mixture; humid air; properties; wet cycles; dry air; water; enthalpy; entropy; heat capacity; density; evaporative gas turbine; compressed air energy storage; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Water or steam is added into the working fluid (often air) in gas turbines to improve the performance of gas turbine cycles. A typical application is the humidified gas turbine that has the potential to give high efficiencies, high specific power output, low emissions and low specific investment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Creep, deformation and moisture redistribution during air convective wood drying and conditioning : air convective wood drying and conditioning

    Author : Tom Morén; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

    Abstract : Air convective wood drying is associated with a considerable risk for damage to the timber, especially checking and warping. This thesis contains an analysis of creep and deformation during wood drying related to stress development and susceptibility of checking. Also heat and mass transfer problems in the wood drying process are considered. READ MORE

  7. 5. In pursuit of clean air through numerical simulations of no-waste pollutant removal

    Author : Marc Rovira; Christophe Duwig; Klas Engvall; Matthew Johnson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Air quality; SOx and NOx removal; Ozone oxidation; Aerosol particle formation; Large-eddy simulations; Reactive flows; Proper orthogonal decomposition; Machine learning; Sensitivity analysis; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : As epidemiological evidence continues to mount, it has become undeniable that exposure to high levels of airborne pollutants such as SOx and NOx are detrimental to human health. In recent years, millions of premature deaths by stroke, coronary heart disease, and lung cancer worldwide have been linked to poor outdoor air quality. READ MORE
