  2. 11. Explosions in urban environments: Modelling of gas explosions and risk of premature shear failure in reinforced concrete structures

    Author : Fabio José Lozano Mendoza; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; blast strength; urban road environments; computational fluid dynamics; blast loading; Vapour cloud explosions; factorial design; premature shear failure; Monte Carlo method; model uncertainty;

    Abstract : The risk for accidental gas explosions in urban environments has increased in Sweden in recent years. This is due to densification of existing urban centres and the rise of vehicles powered by alternative fuels. READ MORE

  4. 12. Transition pathways for future district heating and cooling systems with thermal energy storage

    Author : Yichi Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transition roadmap; bidirectional system; uncertainty analysis; Thermal energy storage; district heating and cooling;

    Abstract : Buildings’ heating and cooling account for more than 20% of the final energy use within the European countries and are dominated by non-renewable resources. Future district energy systems should enable efficient, fossil-free, and economical energy supply at operating temperatures that end users can directly utilize. READ MORE

  5. 13. Novel catalysts development for NOx reduction from H2 combustion engines

    Author : Jieling Shao; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; H2-SCR; SSZ-13 zeolite; in-situ DRIFTS; Iridium; Nitrogen selectivity; Platinum; reduction pretreatment; temperature intervals; BETA zeolite; Palladium;

    Abstract : Hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, burns without producing any carbon emissions. Hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE) are considered an alternative for the transition from conventional fossil-fuel vehicles. READ MORE

  6. 14. Knowledge Compromise(d)? Ways and values of coproduction in academia

    Author : Josefine Fischer; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; epistemology; knowledge interest; research policy; coproduction; university college;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the colonisation of the university by market forces. The object of inquiry is coproduction of academic knowledge between academic and non-academic actors in newly established universities and university colleges in Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 15. Different Images of Science - A study of how science is constituted in exhibitions

    Author : Eva Davidsson; Utbildningsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; learning in informal settings; science exhibitions; staff members; exhibition design; exhibition contents; museums; Science centres; informal learning;

    Abstract : Within the science and technology centre (STC) movement there exists explicit aims and ambitions to enhance visitors’ interest in and knowledge about science. Meanwhile, several researches question the choice of the scientific content in exhibitions when arguing that a too unproblematic view of science commonly is presented. READ MORE
