1. Experimental measurements of water mist systems and implications for modelling in CFD
Sammanfattning : The use of water mist for fire extinguishment has increased rapidly in recent years. The main reason is the abandonment of halon-based extinguishing systems in favour of environmentally friendlier systems. Furthermore the use of water mist systems has spread from mainly marine applications to also include the protection of buildings. LÄS MER
2. Water mist fire protection systems : The development of testing procedures for marine and heritage applications
Sammanfattning : Modern, commercial water mist fire protection system technology evolved at the beginning of the 1990s due a need to replace halon fire-extinguishing systems and improve fire safety on passenger ships. This thesis documents the unknown water mist system development work by two Swedish companies during the 1970s and 1980s. LÄS MER
3. Evaluation and Mitigation of Industrial Fire Hazards
Sammanfattning : A tool suitable for conducting industrial fire and explosion hazard analysis is presented, together with an identification of weak links in the hazard evaluation chain. For some of the weak links additional research has been carried out. LÄS MER
4. Strong Light-Matter Coupling: the Road from Conventional to Cavity-Free Polaritons
Sammanfattning : The interaction between light and matter is fundamental in perceiving and understanding the world. The interaction is typically weak, meaning light only perturbs matter without changing its properties. LÄS MER
5. Studies on Airway Surface Liquid in Connection with Cystic Fibrosis
Sammanfattning : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common fatal inherited diseases, most prevalent among Caucasians. CF is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which helps to create sweat, digestive juices, and airway surface liquid (ASL).
