Indoor air quality, ventilation and health effects in Norwegian schools
(Master thesis, 2018)ABSTRACT It is well known that a good indoor climate is important for health, well-being and learning. Many Norwegian school buildings experience problems with poor indoor climate, often due to lack of maintenance. The ... -
Indoor climate in a zero energy building - An analysis of the thermal environment and indoor air quality
(Master thesis, 2015)Buildings are responsible for around 40 % of the world s energy use, hence also for huge amounts of climate gases, both directly and indirectly. The building industry needs to become a part of the solution of an energy ... -
Indoor Environment in ZEB Living Lab
(Master thesis, 2016)This master thesis assesses the indoor environment in Living Lab, a zero emission residential building built in order to investigate ZEB-strategies. The living laboratory located at Gløshaugen campus is also an arena for ... -
Industrial Drying of Raw Materials and By-products in Aluminium Production
(Master thesis, 2021)I denne masteroppgaven utforskes muligheten for å bruke spillvarme fra avgasser i aluminiumsproduksjonsprosessen med det formål å tørke biprodukter som oppstår og råmaterialer som inngår i denne prosessen. Innledningsvis ... -
Industrial ecology in integrated assessment models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Technology-rich integrated assessment models (IAMs) address possible technology mixes and future costs of climate change mitigation by generating scenarios for the future industrial system. Industrial ecology (IE) focuses ... -
Industrial High Temperature Heat Pump with natural Refrigerants - Performance evaluation and design improvement
(Master thesis, 2022)Abstract will be available on 2025-09-01 -
Industrial thawing of fish : to improve quality, yield and capacity
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:132, Doctoral thesis, 2002)Melting of frozen water in food products is denoted thawing. The phase change requires energy, and takes place at a constant temperature for pure water. For mixtures of water, fat, protein and ashes (i.e. foodstuffs) this ... -
Inequal responses of drylands to radiative forcing geoengineering methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate geoengineering has the potential to reduce global warming. However, the nonlinear responses of Earth's large‐scale circulation to climate geoengineering can exacerbate regional climate change, with potential ... -
Inequality and Diet: How Are Environmental Impacts from Food Consumption Distributed Across Different Socioeconomic Groups Globally?
(Master thesis, 2018)In the age of globalization, rapid population growth, increased flow of products across borders and a rising demand for food, have been rising concern amongst international organizations. On the other hand, globalization ... -
Inertial torque on a small spheroid in a stationary uniform flow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)How anisotropic particles rotate and orient in a flow depends on the hydrodynamic torque they experience. Here we compute the torque acting on a small spheroid in a uniform flow by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes ... -
Inflation in terms of a viscous van der Waals coupled fluid
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We propose to describe the acceleration of the universe by introducing a model of two coupled fluids. We focus on the accelerated expansion at the early stages. The inflationary expansion is described in terms of a van der ... -
The influence of concentration and temperature on the membrane resistance of ion exchange membranes and the levelised cost of hydrogen from reverse electrodialysis with ammonium bicarbonate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The ohmic resistances of the anion and cation ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) that constitute a reverse electrodialysis system (RED) are of crucial importance for its performance. In this work, we study the influence of ... -
Influence of drag force correlations on periodic fluidization behavior in Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation of a bubbling fluidized bed
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)In this paper, an Eulerian–Lagrangian approach, in which the gas flow is solved by the volume-averaged Navier–Stokes equation and the motion of individual particles is obtained by directly solving Newton's second law of ... -
Influence of Electrode Gas Flow Rate and Solid Oxide Ratio in Electrolyte on the Seebeck Coefficient of Molten Carbonate Thermocell
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Thermocells represent a promising way to utilize heat as a power source. The aim of this work is to develop a thermocell with identical gas electrodes using molten carbonate-based electrolytes. The cell can generate power ... -
Influence of emerging technologies deployment in residential built stock on electric energy cost and grid load
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)High penetration rates of novel building energy technologies has prompted a growing concern about their microeconomic effect and grid influence. Deployment of photovoltaic (PV), solar water heating (SWH) systems and energy ... -
Influence of Fabric Structural Attributes on Their Aerodynamic Behavior
