Enzymatic pretreatment of steam-exploded birch wood for increased biogas production and lignin degradation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lignocellulose is readily available biomass for biogas production; however, due to its rigid structure, it requires pretreatment to obtain a maximum energy extraction. In this study, steam explosion (SE) (220 °C and 10 ... -
On the role of symmetry and degeneracy in nonlinear thermoacoustic eigenproblems with application to can-annular combustors
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:30, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The subject of this dissertation are thermoacoustic instabilities in combustion chambers with discrete rotational and reflective symmetries. Designing thermoacoustically stable combustors is one of the principal challenges ... -
The Effect of Hydrogen Enrichment on the Thermoacoustic Behaviour of Lean Premixed Flames
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:23, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Gas turbines (GT) burning hydrogen can help deliver large-scale zero carbon power generation and facilitate rapid decarbonisation over the short to medium term. They can also play a crucial role in increasing the penetration ... -
Rapid change of particle velocity due to volatile gas release during biomass devolatilization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Our earlier study showed significant differences in average particle velocity between simulation and experimental results for devolatilizing biomass particles in an idealised entrained flow reactor [N. Guo et al., Fuel, ... -
Product formation during discharge: a combined modelling and experimental study for Li–O2 cathodes in LiTFSI/DMSO and LiTFSI/TEGDME electrolytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Li–air or Li–O2 batteries are a promising energy storage technology due to the potentially high energy density. However, significant challenges related to reversible charge/discharge of these cells need to be solved. The ... -

Space heating solution using solar heat from a PVT system
(Master thesis, 2021)Målet med masteroppgaven er å utvikle et romoppvarmingssystem med bruk av varme fra et solcelle/solfanger (PVT) system. Basert på dette ble tre forskningsspørsmål definert. The første spørsmålet er å beskrive og vurdere ... -
Computationally efficient coarse-graining XDEM/CFD modeling of fixed-bed combustion of biomass
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In the multi-scale modeling of a dense particle system, the particle phase and the gas phase can be modeled on vastly different scales. The coupling between the two models has a critical influence on the predictions obtained ... -
CFD modeling of biomass combustion and gasification in fluidized bed reactors using a distribution kernel method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A three-dimensional reactive multi-phase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) model is employed to investigate biomass combustion and gasification in fluidized bed furnaces. The MP-PIC model considered here is based on a coarse grain ... -
Developing guidelines for quantifying ecosystem impacts of terrestrial species invasion within the framework of Life Cycle Assessment
(Master thesis, 2021)Biologiske invasjoner utgjør en betydelig trussel mot funksjonen til økosystemer og samfunn rundt om i verden, og er en av de viktigste driverne for globalt tap av biologisk mangfold. Terrestriske invasive fremmede arter ... -
Circular Biogas Systems For New York’s Greater Hudson Valley
(Master thesis, 2021)New York State (NYS) has made great legislative strides in regards to climate change mitigation, excess food waste generation, and the renewable energy transition. Specifically, the NY Climate Act, the Food Donation & ... -
Coupling trade-offs and supply-demand of ecosystem services (ES): A new opportunity for ES management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The trade-offs and supply-demand relations of ecosystem services (ES) are at the frontier of geographical and ecological studies. However, previous studies have focused on either trade-offs or the supply-demand aspects, ... -
