      Eidesen, Hans-Kristian; Andleeb, Zahra; Khawaja, Hassan; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-27)
      All materials have different and unique thermal properties that determine how the temperature changes when a material is subjected to a temperature difference. This study was intended to investigate the thermal properties of a polymer called Polyurethane, focusing on anti-seepage and anti-abrasion polyurethane. The thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient of cold polyurethane specimens ...
    • Ice shedding from wind turbines 

      Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Xue, Hui; Eidesen, Hans-Kristian; Andleeb, Zahra; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)
      Wind power is an excellent source of renewable energy in areas with sufficient wind resources. Usually, the best locations for wind turbines are on the tops of hills and ridges, where there are lower temperatures [1]. Cold temperatures are responsible for novel challenges [2, 3]. Due to cold climatic conditions, turbine blades are subjected to icing [4]. A number of methods have been proposed and ...
    • Modelling and Simulation of the HDPE Pyrolysis Process 

      Eidesen, Hans-Kristian; Khawaja, Hassan; Jackson, Steven (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      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. This work aims to describe some of the primary driving reactions ...
    • Multiphysics Analysis of Ice-Polyurethane Adhesion under Flexural Loading using FEM Analysis 

      Eidesen, Hans-Kristian; Andleeb, Zahra; Khawaja, Hassan; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-26)
      This paper presents the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Multiphysics technique, applied to study the strength of ice adhesion between the surface of polyurethane and ice. The theoretical study of this work is based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory that is used to solve a four-point bending problem to give the correlation of displacements with load and longitudinal stresses. The physical samples were ...
    • Simulation of the HDPE Pyrolysis Process 

      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, ...
