  2. 1. Characterization and Compensation of Thermal Effects in GaN HEMT Technologies

    Author : Johan Bremer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal coupling; thermal effects; thermal resistance; AlGaN GaN; temperature compensation.; electrothermal; characterization;

    Abstract : Further advancements with GaN based technologies relies on the ability to handle the heat flux, which consequently arises from the high power density. Advanced cooling techniques and thermal optimization of the technology are therefore prioritized research areas. READ MORE

  4. 2. Possibilities of using thermal mass in buildings to save energy, cut power consumption peaks and increase the thermal comfort

    Author : Jonathan Karlsson; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; concrete; aggregates; heat capacity; thermal properties; thermal conductivity; thermal inertia; thermal mass; time constant; Energy storage;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to generate knowledge to enable us to take advantage of heat storage in heavy building structures with regard to as energy savings, better thermal indoor climate, and reduced peak powers. This could include buildings that can function without energy input during cold periods, buildings that give a robust indoor climate without installed cooling, and buildings with good thermal comfort also in case of higher outdoor temperatures resulting from global warming.

  5. 3. Temperature variation in time and space, and its effects on insects

    Author : Loke von Schmalensee; Philipp Lehmann; Gotthard Karl; Michael Angilletta; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; temperature variation; thermal performance; insects; Lepidoptera; thermal adaptation; thermal ecology; microclimate; seasonality; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Nature is variable. Unfortunately, compressed representations of this variable world, like averages, are often lossy and insufficient for ecological purposes. This is particularly true for temperature variation, which organisms typically respond to in a nonlinear way. READ MORE

  6. 4. Comfort Climate Evaluation with Thermal Manikin Methods and Computer Simulation Models

    Author : Håkan O Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : thermal climate assessment; thermal environment; office environment; cabin; climate; CFD; thermal manikin; comfort zone diagram;

    Abstract : Increasing concern about energy consumption and thesimultaneous need for an acceptable thermal environment makesit necessary to estimate in advance what effect differentthermal factors will have on the occupants. Temperaturemeasurements alone do not account for all climate effects onthe human body and especially not for local effects ofconvection and radiation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis of thermal shock in brittle materials

    Author : Marianne Collin; KTH; []
    Keywords : thermal shock; thermal stress; stress intensity; vickers indentation; alumina; silicon varbide whisker reinforced alumina;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns thermal shock damage of ceramicmaterials. More specifically the work is focused on theoreticaland practical aspects of a new technique for determining thethermal shock resistance of brittle materials. READ MORE
