  2. 6. First-Principles Studies of Materials Properties : Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions & Functional Materials

    Author : Thanayut Kaewmaraya; Rajeev Ahuja; Scheicher Ralph; Naurang Saini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Pressure-induced phase transitions; Ab-initio molecular dynamic; hybrid functional; Ab-initio random structure searching; Phase change material; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the first-principles studies of materials properties within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The thesis constitutes three main parts, i. e., pressure-induced phase transitions in solids, data-storage and clean-energy materials. READ MORE

  4. 7. Phase-changing flows: numerical methods and fully resolved simulations

    Author : Nicolo Scapin; Luca Brandt; Christophe Duwig; Outi Tammisola; Matthias Ihme; KTH; []
    Keywords : Phase change; interface-resolved simulations; compressibility; evaporating droplets; evaporation-driven thermal convection.; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Flows with evaporation and boiling are abundant in different contexts, such as geophysics, the biomedical sectors, and industrial applications. Spray combustion, boiling bubble flows, oceanic sprays, formation and evolution of clouds, spreading of infectious diseases are all relevant examples where a deeper understanding of phase-changing flows is of great importance.

  5. 8. Migration in anadromous brown trout

    Author : David Aldvén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Downstream migration; Temperature; Discharge; Genetics; Growth rate; Climate change; Salmo trutta; Salmo salar; Sea trout; Salmon; Biology; Ecology;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the anadromous migration of brown trout (Salmo trutta) with the overall aim to improve stock management within the region. Several field studies were conducted in different streams and coastal areas on the west coast of Sweden specifically aimed to evaluate environmental triggers for migration (Paper I), migration pathways and strategies (Paper III and IV) as well as the genetic differentiation of anadromous populations of brown trout (Paper V).

  6. 9. Heat Transfer Aspects of Using Phase Change Material in Thermal Energy Storage Applications

    Author : Justin NingWei Chiu; Viktoria Martin; Luisa Cabeza; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal energy storage; comfort cooling; phase change materials; heat transfer; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Innovative methods for providing sustainable heating and cooling through thermal energy storage (TES) have gained increasing attention as heating and cooling demands in the built environment continue to climb. As energy prices continue to soar and systems reach their maximal capacity, there is an urgent need for alternatives to alleviate peak energy use. READ MORE

  7. 10. Environmental, health and safety assessment of phase-change solvents for post combustion CO2 capture

    Author : Gulnara Shavalieva; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-change solvents; carbon capture; CAMD; LCA; EHS;

    Abstract : A novel class of solvents exhibiting liquid-liquid phase separation upon reaction with CO2 and/or change in temperature, promises significant reduction of energy requirement of the post combustion capture by chemical absorption. However, proceeding to a large-scale application of novel materials requires holistic evaluation of the aspects related to human health, safety, and environmental impacts currently missing for phase-change solvent alternatives.
