1. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach
Sammanfattning : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. LÄS MER
2. Estimation of wood fibre length distributions from censored mixture data
Sammanfattning : The motivating forestry background for this thesis is the need for fast, non-destructive, and cost-efficient methods to estimate fibre length distributions in standing trees in order to evaluate the effect of silvicultural methods and breeding programs on fibre length. The usage of increment cores is a commonly used non-destructive sampling method in forestry. LÄS MER
3. Beyond Köhler theory : Molecular dynamics simulations as a tool for atmospheric science
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nanoaerosol clusters are discussed. The connecting link of these studies is the Köhler theory, which is the theory of condensational growth and activation of cloud droplets to form clouds. LÄS MER
4. Mixture Effects in Shell-and-Tube Condensers. Theory and Calculations
Sammanfattning : Zeotropic mixtures have come into more frequent use as working fluids (refrigerants) in heat pumps and air conditioning equipment due to the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances. Substantial drop in performance for shell-side condensation in shell-and-tube condensers when replacing a pure fluid with a mixture has been reported in the literature. LÄS MER
5. Dependence Structures in Stable Mixture Models with an Application to Extreme Precipitation
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study a class of mixture models obtained by mixing extreme value distributions over a positive stable distribution. This depicts a group structure, where the stable distribution is a group specific quantity and a function of the surroundings. The stable mixture models possess a number of interesting characteristics. LÄS MER
