NO til NO2 oksidasjon over koboltoksider på bærere
(Master thesis, 2019)Flertallet av salpetersyrebehovet går til produksjon av ammoniumnitrater, som brukes i produksjon av gjødsel. Produksjon av salpetersyre benytter Ostwald prosessen, hvor en av de tre reaksjonstrinnene er oksidasjonen av ... -
Noble Metal Promoted CoMn Catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Noble metal (Pt, Re and Ru) promoters were investigated for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis at light olefin favouring conditions over Co–Mn catalysts. Characterisation and testing found promotion to increase catalyst activity ... -
A Non-Autonomous Relativistic Frame of Reference for Unit Operation Design
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This contribution presents an efficient systematic algorithm for unit operation design that uses a newly developed non-autonomous relativistic frame of reference (NARF). The NARF is aimed towards the conceptual design of ... -
Non-linear dependency of wax appearance temperature on cooling rate
(Journal article, 2018)The Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) is usually the first parameter to consider, when assessing whether paraffin wax contained in the crude oil can become an issue during production. As such, correct determination of the ... -
Non-linear rheology and direct numerical simulation of pressure propagation in gel
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2014:175, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Complex fluids are expected to demonstrate rheological behavior intermediate between solids (completely elastic) and fluids (completely viscous). However, despite abundant existence of complex fluids their rheological ... -
Nonlinear Model Predictive Control and Dynamic Real-Time Optimization of Semi-Batch Reactors - A Case Study of Expandable Polystyrene Production
(Master thesis, 2018)The aim of this thesis was to develop an advanced two-layer control structure for the semi-batch polymerization of expandable polystyrene (EPS) that minimizes the batch time while still producing a set polymer quality and ... -
Nonlinear model predictive control of a multi-absorber CO2 capture plant
(Master thesis, 2021)I et etterforbrenning karbonfangstanlegg blir det brukt en aminløsning for å absorbere CO2. Aminløsningen blir regenerert i desorberkolonnen gjennom varme tilført i omkokeren. En stor driftskostnad ved et karbonfangstanlegg ... -
