...cast irons depend upon the microstructure and alloying and alloying additions. The material microstructure varies with the cooling rate, which is very inhomogeneous in thick walled wind turbine components. Thus, documenting the microstructure distribution and hence the distribution mechanical properties...
Aachmann at NTNU’s Department of Biotechnology and Food Science. Alginate is one of the substances extracted from algae and is by far the best known. This sugar is used in over 600 products, and selling it is no problem. It is used in ice cream, in various gels and to lessen the symptoms of acid reflux. Nevertheless...
Hydrogen is used in industry, and when it is utilised as a fuel it emits only water. Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) is currently studying for supplying Japan with CO2-free hydrogen. Both wind-power and natural gas can be transformed into hydrogen power. On behalf of KHI, and with additional financing...
...years, the species has evolved from living on rocks and ship hulls, to be a pest, which preferably settles into the nets of fish farms. Here they thrive so well, that they in no time can block the nets - thereby preventing essential water flow and oxygen supply. In addition they increase the weight load...
