Measuring Thickness of Marine Ice Using IR Thermography
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-04)
<p>There are several challenges to operating in a cold climate. Marine icing is one of them, and its mitigation is vital for marine operations.</p>
<p>The presented work is a laboratory-scale setup to measure marine ice thickness. The developed methodology can be applied towards de-/anti-icing setups. The method described is based on measuring the average surface temperatures of the marine ice. ...
Effect of seasonal mesoscale and microscale meteorological conditions in Ny-Ålesund on results of monitoring of long-range transported pollution
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-06)
Ny-Ålesund is an international research settlement where the thermodynamics and chemical composition of the air are monitored. The present work investigates the effects of micrometeorological conditions, mesoscale dynamics and local air pollution on the data collected at two different locations around the village. Daily filter measurements of sulphur dioxide and non-sea salt sulphate from the temporary ...
Simulation of the HDPE Pyrolysis Process
(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, ...
Local Flexibility Market Design for Aggregators Providing Multiple Flexibility Services at Distribution Network Level
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-02)
This paper presents a general description of local flexibility markets as a market-based management mechanism for aggregators. The high penetration of distributed energy resources introduces new flexibility services like prosumer or community self-balancing, congestion management and time-of-use optimization. This work is focused on the flexibility framework to enable multiple participants to compete ...
Validation of air ventilation in tunnels, using experiments and computational fluid dynamics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
The study presented in this paper concerns the ventilation system inside tunnels. The ventilation system is responsible for the removal of exhaust gases produced by vehicles and for providing a clear view throughout the tunnels in routine operations and in the event of fire. The ventilation system has several stages, which are equipped with one or more fans and can be activated together or separately. ...
On Some Power Means and Their Geometric Constructions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018)
The main aim of this paper is to further develop the recently initiatedresearch concerning geometric construction of some power means wherethe variables are appearing as line segments. It will be demonstratedthat the arithmetic mean, the harmonic mean and the quadratic meancan be constructed for any number of variables and that all power meanswhere the number of variables are n = 2m, m 1 2 N for all ...
Review of Low-Temperature Crack (LTC) Developments in Asphalt Pavements
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
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 ...
A NEW GENERALIZATION OF BOAS THEOREM FOR SOME LORENTZ SPACES Λq(ω)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Let Λq( ω ), q > 0, denote the Lorentz space equipped with the (quasi) norm
[<i>MATHEMATICAL FORMULA</I>]
for a function f on [0,1] and with
ω
positive and equipped with some additional growth properties. A generalization of Boas theorem in the form of a two-sided inequality is obtained in the case of both general regular system [<i>MATHEMATICAL FORMULA</I>] and generalized Lorentz Λq( ω ) spaces
Collaboration with High-Payload Industrial Robots: Simulation for Safety
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-15)
<p>When operators and industrial robots are sharing the same task, there are multiple factors, which effect if a system is safe for the human operator or not. In general this is solved by introducing Collaborative Robot for cooperation, but what happens when we would extend our already existing production facilities with newer comfort features?</p>
<p>In this paper we propose to include industrial ...
Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) – solution in MATLAB®
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
This work presents a method for the solution of fundamental governing equations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) in MATLAB®. The fundamental governing equations of fluid mechanics are based on three laws of conservation, referred to as the law of conservation of mass, the law of conservation of momentum and the law of ...
