The landscape of engineering is undergoing a transformative evolution, and at its forefront is the paradigm of multiphysics—a revolutionary approach that integrates and simulates multiple physical phenomena within a single computational framework. This abstract explores the significance of multiphysics in shaping the future of engineering and its profound impact on innovation, efficiency, and ...

Surfers daring the harshest waves, including the frigid arctic waters of Norway, rely on wetsuits for extended cold-water sessions. Understanding the thermal behavior of wetsuit materials is crucial for enhancing surfers' comfort and safety. In this study, we investigate the thermal properties of neoprene and natural rubber, the primary materials used in wetsuit construction, with a focus on conductive ...

The scope of the journal is to address the latest advances in theoretical ...

Today, there is an abundance of roof designs for buildings, each possessing distinct characteristics when subjected to snowy and cold conditions. Snow buildup on roofs poses various risks, including structural damage and personal injuries. Snow loads can lead to severe building damage or even collapse. The presence of intricate roof shapes and valleys exacerbates the potential harm caused by snow. ...

This thesis investigates the use of remote sensing techniques to study the conditions of ballast water in the northwestern port of Emden, Germany. Sentinel-2 data of the seaport has been collected and used in order to retrieve the suspended particulate matter (SPM), evaluating its distribution and checking for any time or spatial periodicity over the past 5 years. The aim of the study is to provide ...

By implementing the MPPT Perturb and Observe (P&O) technique, the thesis aims to optimize the power output of the fuel cell system, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance. To enhance the overall ...

The demand for renewable energy sources has increased significantly in recent years due to the growing concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability. Solar energy has emerged as one of the most promising and widely used renewable energy sources. However, the efficiency and output of solar energy systems depend on various factors, including the position of the sun, the angle ...

Analyzing multiple physical factors simultaneously to determine optimal ventilation solutions can be challenging. Furthermore, this type of analysis needs a large case number to be investigated, making the problem’s solution unfeasible. This study tackled these challenges by integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the Taguchi method to overcome these issues. Our previous research ...

ABSTRACT The growth of the world’s population leads to increased energy needs. The use of fossil energy leads to challenges. The main reason for this is that the use of fossil fuels has a negative impact on global climate change, and the world is heading towards running out of fossil fuels in a few years. Renewable energy sources like photovoltaic and wind power plants are good solutions for those ...

The thesis examines which energy production methods are suitable together with seasonal storage of energy at UiT the arctic university of Norway in Narvik. Nordkraft has provided the subject which has been examined. The location of UiT Narvik together with its areas and storage volumes have been examined for what power production methods and energy storage methods are suitable for this location. ...
