(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Real-time estimation of the return drilling fluid during oil well drilling is investigated in this study. Online fluid level measurements from a Venturi channel which can be placed on the return flowline is used with a ... -
Remarks on cosmological bulk viscosity in different epochs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The intention of this paper is mainly two-fold. First, we point out a striking numerical agreement between the bulk viscosity in the lepton era calculated by Husdal (2016) and our own calculations of the present-day bulk ... -
Non-Intrusive Data Monitoring and Analysis of Occupant Energy-Use Behaviors in Shared Office Spaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A non-intrusive data collection framework is developed to analyze the desk-level occupancy and energy use patterns of occupants in shared office spaces. The framework addresses the limitations of previous studies in the ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Rotordynamic Coefficients for Compliant Foil Gas Seal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Compliant foil gas seal is one of the advanced cylindrical gas seal technologies and can be commonly used in the secondary flow system of an aero-engine. It can enhance the dynamic stability of the aero-engine by meeting ... -
Effects of car electronics penetration, integration and downsizing on their recycling potentials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Car electronics form an extensive yet untapped source for secondary critical raw materials. To seize their recycling potentials it is imperative to understand how the number and volumes of car electric and electronic (EE) ... -
Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of the Resistivity and Power Density in Reverse Electrodialysis: A Parametric Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Electrodialysis (ED) and reverse electrodialysis (RED) are enabling technologies which can facilitate renewable energy generation, dynamic energy storage, and hydrogen production from low-grade waste heat. This paper ... -
In the wake of turbulence: A study on the effects of freestream turbulence on the flow around simple and complex geometries
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:155, Doctoral thesis, 2022)With the growing demand of global energy consumption and a need to reduce pollution caused by energy production from fossil fuels, renewable sources of energy are becoming increasingly necessary for the future sustainable ... -
Effectiveness of protected areas edges on vegetation greenness, cover and productivity on the Tibetan Plateau, China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstones of global vegetation conservation efforts, but growing evidence showed the limited effectiveness of PAs in some regions. Recent attempts to quantify conservation efficiency were ... -
Gradient-based design optimization and off-design performance prediction of Rankine cycles and Radial Inflow Turbines
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:147, Doctoral thesis, 2022)A major fraction of today's electricity is generated by Rankine cycle power systems utilizing the thermal energy of fossil sources such as coal and natural gas, or nuclear energy. However, the carbon content in the fossil ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Large-scale deployment of both biochemical and thermochemical routes for advanced biofuels production is seen as a key climate change mitigation option. This study addresses techno-economic and environmental aspects of ... -
Co-benefits and trade-offs of agroforestry for climate change mitigation and other sustainability goals in West Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Agroforestry is a land management practice where trees are grown around or among crops or pastureland. This integration of agriculture and forestry is frequently seen as an option that can secure food security and co-deliver ... -
Role of export industries on ozone pollution and its precursors in China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study seeks to estimate how global supply chain relocates emissions of tropospheric ozone precursors and its impacts in shaping ozone formation. Here we show that goods produced in China for foreign markets lead to ... -
Interferon-γacutely augments inhibition of neocortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Interferon-γ (IFN-γ, a type II IFN) is present in the central nervous system (CNS) under various conditions. Evidence is emerging that, in addition to its immunological role, IFN-γ modulates neuronal morphology, ... -
The NExus Solutions Tool (NEST) v1.0: An open platform for optimizing multi-scale energy-water-land system transformations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The energy–water–land nexus represents a critical leverage future policies must draw upon to reduce trade-offs between sustainable development objectives. Yet, existing long-term planning tools do not provide the scope or ... -
Impacts of idealized land cover changes on climate extremes in Europe
