What does our future seaweed nation look like? Norway is one of the largest harvesters of wild seaweed in the world, mainly for the production of alginate from Laminaria hyperborea and seaweed meal from Ascophyllum nodosum. However, 97 % of the global seaweed production comes from cultivation, and...
In this work, our main objective is to introduce, calibrate and validate a temperature model that simulates temperature fluctuations due to radial and axial heat transfer in cold- and hot-water pipes within premise plumbing systems. For this purpose, a laboratory pilot containing six shower...
The study of interactions of atoms, radicals and molecules with dust particles is critical to understanding the balance between gas phase and solid-state material in the interstellar and circumstellar medium. These detailed interactions will determine the compositions of ice mantles on dust grains...
Hyppig nedbør og feil materialvalg gir fuktskader i fasadeplater. SINTEF har analysert 25 skadesaker for å avdekke årsaker og risikoområder i moderne bygg....
When drilling a well, careful choice of drilling fluid is essential to allow, among others, for well stabilization and lubrication of the drill bit. The apparent viscosity of a drilling fluid is one of its major properties affecting the ability to be pumped and to transport particles. However, when...
