  1. 16. Diffusion studies in gels using holographic laser interferometry

    Författare :Charlotte Mattisson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; chemical potential; ionic strenght; pH; cubic phase; partition coefficient; holographic laser interferometry; holography; pullulan; lysozyme; BSA; macromolecules; diffusion; gel; Poisson-Boltzmann; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is an investigation of the potential of holographic laser interferometry for the study of diffusion of both small solutes and macromolecules. An investigation on the importance of errors due to light deflection in refarctive index gradients showed that the magnitude of the refractive index gradients were negligible for the system investigated.

  3. 17. Kinetic modelling of runaway in plasmas

    Författare :Ola Embréus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fokker-Planck equation; synchrotron radiation; plasma; runaway; bremsstrahlung; Boltzmann equation;

    Sammanfattning : The phenomenon of runaway occurs in plasmas in the presence of a strong electric field, which overcomes the collisional friction acting on the charged particles moving through the plasma. A subpopulation of particles can then be accelerated to energies significantly higher than the thermal energy. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Thermal conductivity of wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors

    Författare :Dat Tran; Plamen Paskov; Vanya Darakchieva; Martin Kuball; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; III-nitrides; β-Ga2O3; Thermal conductivity; Thermal transport;

    Sammanfattning : This PhD thesis presents experimental and theoretical studies of the thermal conductivity of wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors including GaN, AlN, β-Ga2O3 binary compounds, and AlxGa1−xN, ScxAl1−xN, YxAl1−xN ternary alloys. Thermal conductivity measurements are conducted using the transient thermoreflectance (TTR) technique and the results are interpreted using analytical models based on the solution of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) within the relaxation time approximation (RTA).

  5. 19. Blood flow and cell transport in arteries and medical assist devices

    Författare :Niclas Berg; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Laszlo Fuchs; Mihai Mihaescu; Alessandro Veneziani; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hemodynamics; CFD; Artherosclerosis; Thrombosis; Platelet activation; Hemorheology; Platelet margination; Technology and Health; Teknik och hälsa;

    Sammanfattning : The cardiovascular system is responsible for transport of nutrients, oxygen, as well as the cells and molecules making up the immune system. Through the hemostatic system, the body maintains the integrity of the blood vessels, and prevents bleeding. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Computational framework for studying charge transport in high-voltage gas-insulated systems

    Författare :Shailendra Singh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; barrier discharge; low temperature plasma; drift diffusion equation; gaseous dielectrics; gas discharge; streamer propagation; high voltage;

    Sammanfattning : Electrical switchgear industry dealing with transmission and distribution of power is strongly affected by the changing dynamics of climate control. Their main contribution to the global warming is through SF6 gas, having a GWP of 23500 (times of CO2). SF6 plays an important role in providing electrical insulation for these high voltage systems.
