• Experiments With Sea Spray Icing: Investigation of Icing Rates 

      Deshpande, Sujay; Sæterdal, Ane Solbakken; Sundsbø, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-11)
      Sea spray icing on ships and marine structures depends on a complex correlation between metocean parameters and vessel characteristics. Sea spray icing rates have mostly been investigated and given as a function of general metocean parameters. The existing models suffer from the lack of experimental data. More experimental data are required for better prediction models and understanding of the icing ...
    • Experimental Investigation of Deicing with Seawater 

      Sæterdal, Ane Solbakken; Visich, Aleksandra; Deshpande, Sujay; Sundsbø, Per-Arne (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-06-19)
      Increased traffic and interest in arctic regions necessitate measures to ensure the safety and functionality of vessels. Sea-spray icing is one of the significant hazards for small- and medium-sized vessels in polar waters. Ice cover can restrict access to essential parts of a vessel and compromise its stability. Existing deicing measures, such as heat or chemical application and manual ice removal, ...
    • Bridging Law Application to Fracture of Fiber Concrete Containing Oil Shale Ash 

      Upnere, Sabine; Novakova, Iveta; Jekabsons, Normunds; Krasnikovs, Andrejs; Macanovskis, Arturs (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-07-23)
      Concrete is a widely used material in various industries, including hazardous waste management. At the same time, its production creates a significant carbon footprint. Therefore, intensive research is being conducted to create more eco-friendly concrete, for example, partially replacing cement with by-products such as oil shale ash (OSA) or improving properties by adding dispersed fibers such as ...
    • Effect of pH, COD, and HRT on the Performance of Microbial Fuel Cell Using Synthetic Dairy Wastewater 

      Banerjee, Aritro; Calay, Rajnish K; Das, Subhashis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-30)
      Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are emerging technologies that can produce electricity while treating wastewater. A series of tests were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of this technology for treating dairy wastewater (DWW). The experiments used Shewanella baltica as an exoelectrogen in a small single MFC to treat simulated DWW. The impacts of various operational factors, specifically pH, ...
    • Enhanced performance of microbial fuel cells using electrochemically treated carbon felt anode 

      Poureshghi, Fatemeh; Calay, Rajnish K; Das, Subhashis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-10)
      The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is emerging as an effective technology for wastewater treatment to remove and detect many pollutants and simultaneously generate power. The anode is an essential component for bacterial attachment and extracellular electron transfer (EET). Thus, anode performance is critical for improving an MFC system's overall performance. Materials that are electronically ...
    • Assessing shielding material Performance: Benchmarking of Monte Carlo codes for oil shale and Basalt-Boron fiber concretes Hando Tohver a,* , Andrius Slavickas b , Maryna Holiuk c , Andrejs Krasn¸ i 

      Tohver, Hando; Motlep, Riho; Krasnikovs, Andrejs; Novakova, Iveta; Gulik, Volodymyr; Slavickas, Andrius; Holiuk, Maryna; Vaišnoras, Mindaugas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-12)
      Cement-based concretes are commonly used for managing radioactive waste due to their low cost and radiation shielding properties. However, the potential of using oil shale ash as an additive in waste packaging material has been overlooked. This study focuses on benchmarking and developing a Monte Carlo based modeling methodology using multiple transport codes (MCNP, SERPENT, SCALE, OpenMC, and ...
    • Running out of excuses? Norwegian political and policy discourses justifying oil and gas development in the Arctic 

      Ballo, Bjørn Moen; Kristoffersen, Berit; Sidortsov, Roman (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-08)
      In this article, we analyse how energy security are woven into political discourses among Norwegian policymakers after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequences of this for intergenerational justice and environmental concerns more broadly. Preceding justifications centred on state revenue and domestic economic growth, the current discourse focuses on the European need for security of ...
