   Sammanfattning : In many developing tropical countries, rapid urban growth leads to several problems, including increased thermal stress. This has negative consequences for people's health and well-being, and affects social and commercial outdoor activities negatively. LÄS MER

4. 13. Oxidation of Fe- and Ni-aluminides in Dry and Humid Atmospheres

   Författare :Adeline Velon; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aluminide; alloying element; SEM; high temperature oxidation; intermetallic; XPS; Fe3Al; Cr; water vapour; Ni3Al; AES;

   Sammanfattning : Aluminides based on Ni3Al and Fe3Al offer good mechanical and corrosion properties at high temperatures and are therefore being considered in the automotive and chemical industries. The aim of this work was to study the early stages and the mechanisms of oxide growth on unalloyed Ni3Al and Fe3Al in air. LÄS MER

5. 14. Improvement of Thermal Comfort in Buildings through Passive Design

   Författare :Marcelino Januário Rodrigues; Byggnadskonstruktion; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Buildings; Sustainability; Energy Efficiency; Passive Design; Orientation; Shading; Ventilation; Materials; Temperatures; Thermal Comfort; Simulations; Retrofitting; Hot Humid Regions.;

   Sammanfattning : In hot humid regions the high outdoor temperature has negative effects on the indoor temperature of buildings that are not designed to cope with the local climate. This leads to discomfort for the occupants. LÄS MER

7. 15. Apply heat pump systems in commercial household products to reduce environmental impact : How to halve the electricity consumption for a household dishwasher

   Författare :Peder Bengtsson; Jonas Berghel; Per Lundqvist; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; household appliance; electricity consumption; heat pump; environmental impact; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Sammanfattning : In the household appliance industry, heat pump systems have been used for a long time in refrigerators and freezers to cool food, and the industry has driven the development of small, high-quality, low-price heat pump components. In the last few decades, heat pump systems have been introduced in other household appliances, with the express purpose of reducing electricity consumption. LÄS MER
