3. 2. Process Utility Performance Evaluation and Enhancements in the Traditional Sugar Cane Industry

   Författare :Eyerusalem Deresse Birru; Andrew Martin; Catharina Erlich; Hailong Li; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sugar cane; energy saving; heat loss; steady state; transient state; CO2 emission; absorption chiller; pellet; bagasse drying; energy perfor-mance; traditional mills; modern mills; waste water; surplus power; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The need to achieve sustainable development has led to devising various approaches for the efficient utilization of natural resources. Renewable energy technology and energy efficiency measures feature prominently in this regard, and in particular for industries such as sugar production:  the sugar cane industry’s eponymous feedstock is a renewable resource, and mills have potential for increased energy savings via improvements to cogeneration units, electric drive retrofitting, and other measures.

4. 3. 7D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on toric and hypertoric manifolds

   Författare :Andreas Rocén; Tobias Ekholm; Andrew Swann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Yang-Mills theory; supersymmetry; toric geometry; hypertoric geometry; Sasaki-Einstein; 3-Sasaki; localisation; special functions; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introduction and three research papers in the general area of geometry and physics. In particular we study 7D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and related topics in toric and hypertoric geometry. Yang-Mills theory is used to describe particle interactions in physics but it also plays an important role in mathematics. LÄS MER

5. 4. On the optimal use of industrial-generated biomass residues for polygeneration

   Författare :Marianne Salomón Popa; Torsten Fransson; Andrew Martin; Lasse Rosendahl; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polygeneration; Optimization; Palm Oil; Biomass; forest residues; Colombia; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : Increasing energy demand as well as climate change concerns call for an analysis and optimization of energy services. Efficient use of energy resources, mitigation of environmental effects and supply an increasing demand are just some of the issues that are relevant nowadays in the energy system. LÄS MER
