Introduction and objective Martensitic phase transformations in Cu-Zn-Al alloys give rise to functional behaviors such as superelasticity, the shape memory effect, and elastocaloric responses, making them attractive for various applications, including solid-state cooling. While the bulk behavior of...
Heat pumps play a crucial role in the transition toward sustainable energy. This review draws on an extensive range of resources to analyse advancements in heat pump technologies and their contribution to achieving the European Union’s (EU) goals on clean and secure heating/cooling. First, it...
Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular for surgical resection of malignant liver lesions due to its minimally invasive nature, faster patient recovery, and less hospital stay. Technological advancements in minimally invasive surgery with image guided navigation and augmented reality...
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...
