  1. 6. Experiments and Predictions of Heat Transfer Characteristics in Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilders

    Författare :Mohammad Golriz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heat transfer coefficient; circulating fluidized bed; membrane wall; boilers; thermal boundary layer; predictions; experiments;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents experiments and predictions of heat transfer characteristics in circulating fluidized bed boilers. The boiler used for the experiments has a maximum load of 12 MWth, and the dimensions of the combustion chamber are 1.4 m x 1.7 m x 1 3. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Robust inference of gene regulatory networks : System properties, variable selection, subnetworks, and design of experiments

    Författare :Torbjörn E. M. Nordling; Elling W Jacobsen; Rolf Findeisen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; network inference; reverse engineering; variable selection; model selection; feature selection; subset selection; system identification; system theory; network theory; subnetworks; design of experiments; perturbation experiments; gene regulatory networks; biological networks;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, inference of biological networks from in vivo data generated by perturbation experiments is considered, i.e. deduction of causal interactions that exist among the observed variables. Knowledge of such regulatory influences is essential in biology. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Human Behaviour in Social-Ecological Systems : Insights from economic experiments and agent-based modelling

    Författare :Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Anne-Sophie Crépin; Johan Colding; Carl Folke; Juan Camilo Cárdenas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human behaviour; Common-pool resources; Ecological complexity; Collective action; Sustainable resource use; Regime shifts; Thresholds; Uncertainty; Communication; Knowledge-sharing; Economic experiments; Laboratory and field experiments; Agent-based modelling; Complex adaptive systems; Social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Progress towards sustainability requires changes in our individual and collective behaviour. Yet, our fundamental understanding of behaviour in relation to environmental change remains severely limited. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Flow Boiling Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop. Experiments and Model Development for Complex Geometries

    Författare :Sven Wellsandt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pressure drop; zeotropic mixtures; heat transfer; herringbone microfin; dimple plate; modelling; evaporation; flow boiling; experiments;

    Sammanfattning : Two very different evaporator geometries, a dimple plate and a herringbone microfin tube, have been studied. Heat transfer and pressure drop for both pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures have been determined experimentally. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Optical sensors in drinking water production : Towards automated process control in relation to natural organic matter

    Författare :Claudia Cascone; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Access to safe and clean drinking water is a basic human right (A/RES/64/292). In Sweden, large drinking water treatment plants use mainly surface water as water source. The long-term trend of increasing natural organic matter (NOM) in boreal and north European surface waters negatively affects the overall performance of the treatment processes. LÄS MER
