      Hoseinpur Kermani, Arman; Andersson, Stefan; Müller, Michael; Tang, Kai; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Due to the detrimental effects of boron (B) on the efficiency of silicon (Si) photovoltaic cells, complete boron removal from Si is necessary to produce solar grade Si (SoG–Si, with a maximum limit of 0.1 ppmw boron). Gas ...
    • Brannsikkerhet i ventilasjonssystemer - En analytisk gjennomgang av røykspredning i ventilasjonsanlegg 

      Gallala, Mikael Rise; Collett, Knut Magnus (Master thesis, 2015)
      Brannsikring av ventilasjonssystemer har fått mer fokus de siste årene. TEK 10 setter kun funksjonskrav for hvordan tekniske installasjoner skal fungere ved brann, og det er dermed opp til de prosjekterende å sette opp ...
