...two approaches to achieving this; the modular super cube-concept for school buildings and conventional building conducted in series (repetition of design and floor plans between buildings). We study the methods and evaluate the degree of success in quick project delivery, while also looking into sustainability-aspects...

...productivity and paving the way to development and innovation. Several scientific studies have addressed the relevance of applying knowledge management initiatives to improve projects as well as organizations that conduct projects. This paper will look at the interaction between knowledge management and big data...

...for double or even multiple dividends arising from a climate and energy tax reform (CETR), using a regional computable general equilibrium model. Such dividends indicate if government revenues raised from energy-related environmental taxes and recycled back to households or industries through (regional)...

The Cu-Y2O3 and CuCrZr-Y2O3 materials have been devised as thermal barriers in nuclear fusion reactors. It is expected that in the nuclear environments, the materials should be working on extreme conditions of irradiation. In this work the Cu-Y2O3 and CuCrZr-Y2O3 were prepared and then irradiated in...

The technologies for CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) differ much in design, operation conditions, and the amount and nature of impurities in the captured CO₂. The presence of impurities affects the thermophysical properties of CO₂ significantly. In particular, properties such as phase equilibrium behavior...

...different concepts are investigated for combined heat and power production (CHP) from offshore gas turbines. Implementation of such technology could improve energy efficiency of offshore oil and gas production and lead to reduced fuel consumption and resulting CO₂ emissions. Offshore electric power is...

This paper investigates the possibilities of supplying offshore oil and gas platforms with power from the onshore power grid combined with offshore wind power. A system consisting of five oil and gas platforms connected to an offshore wind farm with a common VSC-HVDC link to the onshore power grid is...

Inception and propagation of streamers in a point-plane gap, with and without pressboard interfaces parallel to te field, have been studied. Curren and light emission have been recorded. Positive streamers propagate at about 2000-4000 m/s at voltages up to two times the minimum breakdown voltage. Above...

...oxidation and thermal stability at various conditions opposite to more classical time- and labor-consuming methods. The measurements were performed in both wet and dry environments in sealed stainless steel vials for new and preaged materials. The preaged materials were aged in advance at 110◦C and 100%...

We have considered a shock wave as a surface of discontinuity and computed the entropy production using nonequilibrium thermodynamics for surfaces. The results from this method, which we call the “Gibbs excess method” (GEM), were compared with results from three alternative methods, all based on the...

This paper investigates the ice formation and melting processes in a novel CTES unit using the commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent 19. The storage unit is designed to operate as a peak shaving device integrated into the R744 circuit of a R717/R744 cascade refrigeration system in a food-processing plant...
