The effect of torrefaction severity (temperature and residence time) was studied on the thermal decomposition of different parts of Norway spruce (stem wood, stump, and bark). The volatile content of the torrefied samples was characterized by pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS)...

Cost engineering and economic analysis are key elements of the performance assessment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. The CCS field has seen noticeable advances in the transparency and rigor of costing studies, but there is still significant room for improvement in three major areas:...

...provide bridges across boundaries and facilitate collaboration between learners with different backgrounds. In this paper, we explore cooperation in a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural context, focusing on the opportunities for learning that arise at different boundaries and on corresponding boundary objects...

...mathematical characteristics of the underlying mathematical models and try to explain some of the numerical challenges that still remain. I will also outline a few ideas that have been used lately to make simulation technology more accurate, efficient, and versatile....

...contribute to sustain and develop universities as attractive places for learning and knowledge development in a future of increased competition in higher education and research. Background: Campus development is no longer about the construction of lecture halls, reading rooms and offices, but an important...

...deformation in concrete. The intention was to find a relation between autogenous deformation and relative humidity in three different mixes with three different binders. Another objective was to compare and verify the measurements of the new test rigs with corresponding samples tested according to SINTEF’s...

...combination of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem and the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem. The problem is also known as the Node, Edge, and Arc Routing Problem. We propose a Branch-and-Cut-and-Price algorithm for obtaining optimal solutions to the problem and present computational results based on a set of...

...ongoing campus development project, 'Vision 2060', at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). We have investigated important perspectives and relations for a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to campus development. We suggest that successfully meeting such...

...traditionally been described using corner-point grids. For such grid and general polyhedral grids, two-point flux-approximation (TPFA) schemes, or modifications thereof, are simple and robust methods which, despite grid-orientation errors and a general lack of consistency, have been considered sufficient for...

...ratios) and need for implicit time discretization. I this talk, we outline how weighted essentially non-oscillating (WENO) methods and discontinuous Galerkin (dG) methods can be adapted to the needs of reservoir simulation. We discuss some implementation details and highlight advantages and shortcomings...
