Cool Roofs in Smart Cities: Implications for Urban Heat Island Mitigation and Building Energy Efficiency in Different Climate Zones
(Master thesis, 2018-10-05)As climate change contributes to elevate urban temperatures, undesirable consequences like increased energy consumption, reduced air and water quality and elevated levels of thermal stress for the population continue to ... -
Energy, Entropy and Sustainable Development with Focus on Nuclear Fusion
(Master thesis, 2017-06-13)The results of this thesis are twofold. First, based on the fundamental work of Ervin Schrödinger on sustainable development and its relation to entropy, we develop a program for discussing both the kinetic and configurational ... -
Investigating Wave Loads and Energy of a Spherical Object Using Numerical and Experimental Methods
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)The world is undergoing massive changes due to climate change. To combat this, renewable energy sources are required. Whereas solar, wind, and hydropower are viable alternatives, wave power offers more stability and is a ... -
Numerical Investigation of a Radially Cooled Turbine Guide Vane Using Air and Steam as a Cooling Medium
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Gas turbine performance is closely linked to the turbine inlet temperature, which in turn is limited by the turbine guide vanes ability to withstand the massive thermal loads. To improve the efficiency in modern high-temperature ... -
Salinity Gradient Energy from Expansion and Contraction of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) Hydrogels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-08)Salinity gradients exhibit a great potential for production of renewable energy. Several techniques such as pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis have been employed to extract this energy. Unfortunately, ... -
Strategies for partition between reproductive investment and body growth in stationary and migratory stocks of Atlantic herring
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)The present study focused on the trade-off between reproductive investment and body growth of migratory and stationary Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) populations. Published data from Norwegian spring-spawning (NSS) ...
