      Samuelsen, Eirik Mikal (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-10-11)
      Sea-spray wetting of ships operating in cold environments imposes a great safety risk, due to icing. For this reason, marine-icing warnings have been a part of operational weather forecasting for the last five decades, yet verification of such warnings has only been done sparingly. This article evaluates different ship-icing methods applied in operational weather forecasting. The methods are tested ...

    • Transient Model of an RSW System with CO2 Refrigeration – A Study of Overall Performance 

      Brodal, Eivind; Jackson, Steven; Eiksund, Oddmar (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-07)
      Refrigerated seawater (RSW) cooling using CO2 based refrigeration is a relatively new technology that shows promising performance in cold climates. For being a refrigerant CO2 has a low global warming potential (GWP) and is therefore recognized as an environmentally friendly alternative if the unit is competitive on energy efficiency. However, RSW systems with CO2 have a significant reduction in ...

      Eidesen, Hans-Kristian; Khawaja, Hassan; Jackson, Steven (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018)
      Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic compounds such as High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics. The product of the HDPE pyrolysis is usually diesel with other wastes (such as carbon black, etc.). A pyrolysis reaction is essentially a decomposition reaction performed at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. There are many other complex reactions taking place in pyrolysis, ...

      The article presents a review of low-temperature crack (LTC) developments in asphalt pavements commonly observed in regions affected by cold weather. The cold weather contributes significantly towards the development of these low-temperature cracks (LTCs). Since the 1960s, many studies have been published, proposing various cracking mechanisms. The simplistic reason for the development of cracks in ...
    • Is Thorium a Viable Nuclear Fuel? [poster] 

      Khawaja, Hassan; Moatamedi, Mojtaba; Tehrani, Ali (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      Thorium was discovered in 1829 by the Norwegian mineralogist Morten Thrane Esmark and identified by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who named it after Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Thorium is more abundant in nature than Uranium. It is fertile rather than fissile, and can only be used as a fuel in conjunction with a fissile material such as recycled plutonium. Thorium fuels can breed ...

    • A comparison of the energy consumption for CO2 compression process alternatives 

      Jackson, Steven; Brodal, Eivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018)
      The efficient transportation of large volumes of CO2 generally requires pipelines that will operate above the critical pressure of CO2. Since most capture processes release CO2 at low pressure, compression of CO2 from the point of capture to pipeline will generally be required. The compression duty can be achieved using conventional multi-stage compressors or using newer shockwave type compressors. ...
    • Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) of Aquaculture Net Cages [poster} 

      Myrli, Odd Einar; Khawaja, Hassan (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      The number of good sites in less exposed locations for aquaculture farming is limited. Trends are now that the fish cages are increasing in both width and depth as well as more weather-exposed locations, are taken into use. As the net cages continue to increase in size, so does the material costs. The design of the sea cages should be modified for safe and reliable use in remote offshore locations. ...

      Naseri, Masoud; Barabadi, Abbas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Decisions to be made in the Arctic offshore operations rely extensively on risk assessment outputs, which require a great deal of historical data and information. However, at the current stage of operating in the Arctic offshore – compared to normal-climate regions – such data is scarce due to the limited industrial activities to date. Lack of data on the probability of the occurrence of an unwanted ...
