...to their widespread application in consumer products, elemental titanium (e.g., titanium dioxide, TiO₂) and silver (Ag), also in nanoparticulate form, are increasingly released from households and industrial facilities to urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). A seven-day sampling campaign was conducted...

This paper presents the methodology and main results of the most recent Norwegian customer survey on consumer valuation of interruptions and voltage problems. The survey provided cost estimates that have been incorporated in the quality of supply regulation, in terms of the cost of energy not supplied...

...of CO₂-mixtures are prerequisites for development of more accurate models and hence more precise design of CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) processes. A literature survey was conducted on both the available experimental data and the theoretical models associated with the transport properties of CO₂-mixtures...

This study investigates the impact of operational fluctuations and uncertainties on the design and expected cost of ship-based CO₂ transport. The model analysis is based on a two-stage stochastic investment model for a single-source single-sink CCS value chain with a ship-based transport system. The...

...base for evaporation of flowing isobutane and propylene in compact internally enhanced surfaces is extended by experimental tests in two microfinned tubes and a smooth tube. The outer diameter for all of the test tubes was 5 mm. Heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop were compared for both fluids...

This report elaborates on the toolchains applied for generation scheduling in the two countries Norway and Brazil. Both countries have vast hydropower resources, with numerous geographically widespread and complex reservoir systems. Although the underlying objective of the scheduling is essentially the same...

Pyrolysis conditions in charcoal production affect yields, properties, and further use of charcoal. Reactivity is a critical property when using charcoal as an alternative to fossil coal and coke, as fuel or reductant, in different industrial processes. This work aimed to obtain a holistic understanding...

...of frozen mackerel is an important component in respect of food safety and quality for the export from Norway to Japan. Vital processes in the cold chain were identified in respect of the flow of goods through processing, storage and transport. RFID combined with temperature sensors was regarded as one...

...results of the forces and moments acting on a single propeller blade running in ventilated conditions in calm water and in waves. A model of a Rolls-Royce Azipull thruster with a four-blade propeller was tested with provisions to measure three orthogonal moments including spindle moment and two forces, on a...
