This paper presents a case study of a single-family house, where the effect of using thermal energy storage integrated in the floor is evaluated regarding GHG-emissions during the life cycle. The house has a lightweight wood frame construction, is well insulated, and fulfils the Norwegian energy...
Using synchrotron-based analytical microprobe techniques, we determine micrometer-scale elemental composition, spatial distribution, and oxidation state of impurities in raw feedstock materials used in the photovoltaic industry. Investigated Si-bearing compounds are pegmatitic quartz, hydrothermal...
The study of soundscapes involves diverse fields of practice, diverse approaches and diverse disciplinary interests. The field overlaps with the much larger and established field of environmental noise management, and also intersects, to various degrees, with other areas of acoustics such as sound...
Liquid holdup is an important hydrodynamic parameter for characterizing the gas/liquid flow pattern in packed beds. In this paper, a study of liquid holdup in 3 different structured packings: Mellapak 2X from Sulzer, Koch-Glitsch Flexipac 2Y HC, and Montz-Pak B1-250M is presented, using air/water...
