Hydrogen gas explosions in pipelines, modeling and experimental investigations
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2006)Gas explosions in closed pipes with a single obstacle have been investigated both numerically and experimentally. Most of the work is related to hydrogen and air mixtures, but other fuels have also been used. At the present ... -
Image Processing and Measurement of the Bubble Properties in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Reactor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The efficiency of a fluidized bed reactor depends on the bed fluid dynamic behavior, which is significantly influenced by the bubble properties. This work investigates the bubble properties of a bubbling fluidized bed ... -
The Impact of Autonomous Inflow Control Valve on Improved Oil Recovery in a Thin-Oil-Rim Reservoir
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Oil production from thin-oil-rim fields can be challenging as such fields are prone to gas coning. Excessive gas production from these fields results in poor production and recovery. Hence, these resources require advanced ... -
Impact of kiln thermal energy demand and false air on cement kiln flue gas CO2 capture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The present study is focused on the effect of the specific thermal energy demand and the false air factor on carbon capture applied to cement kiln exhaust gases. The carbon capture process model was developed and implemented ... -
Improved Models for Predicting Bubble Velocity, Bubble Frequency and Bed Expansion in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)An efficient design and operational control of a fluidized bed reactor relies on accurate prediction of bubble properties. This paper employs measurement of bed void fraction in determining the bubble velocity in a given ... -
Improved multi-stage cross-flow fluidized bed classifier
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the present work, improvements to a novel fluidized bed solids classification system previously published by Jayarathna et al. are discussed (Jayarathna et al., 2018 [1]). The system is designed for a high temperature ... -
Improving bench scale design for polymerisation of green CO2-polymers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Plastic has become the most common material since the beginning of the 20th century and has become almost indispensable due to its durability, light weight and low costs. However, some of the characteristics also make the ... -
Improving bench scale pilot reactor design for polymerisation of green CO2-polymers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Plastic has become the most common material since the beginning of the 20th century and has become almost indispensable due to its durability, light weight and low costs. However, some of the characteristics also make the ... -
Improving gas distribution and evaporation in gas cooling tower at Norcem Brevik
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this work, the effect of the geometry of a GCT (Gas Cooling Tower) on the flue gas distribution in a cooling tower in Norcem, Brevik is investigated by using CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) modeling and ... -
Increased Coal Replacement in a Cement Kiln Burner by Feeding a Mixture of Solid Hazardous Waste and Shredded Plastic Waste
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-07)The present study aims to find the maximum possible replacement of coal by combined feeding of plastic waste and solid hazardous waste mixed with wood chips (SHW) in rotary kiln burners used in cement kiln systems. The ... -
Industry/college cooperation on undergraduate project work as a college revenue source
(Conference report, 2007)Since 1994, the Norwegian Ministry for Education and Research has required government supported universities and colleges to find additional sources of income. For Telemark University College (TUC) in Porsgrunn, senior ... -
Influence of pKa on solvent performance of MAPA promoted tertiary amines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In the present work, absorption and desorption performance of ten single tertiary amines and their blends with MAPA was studied using a screening apparatus. Absorption experiments were conducted at 40 °C and up to 9.5 kPa ... -
Influences of temperature and substrate particle content on granular sludge bed anaerobic digestion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Influences of temperature (25–35 °C) and substrate particulate content (3.0–9.4 g total suspended solids (TSS)/L) on granular sludge bed anaerobic digestion (AD) were analyzed in lab-scale reactors using manure as a substrate ... -
Integrating Syngas Fermentation into a Single-Cell Microbial Electrosynthesis (MES) Reactor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study presents a series of experiments to test the integration of syngas fermentation into a single-cell microbial electrosynthesis (MES) process. Minimal gas–liquid mass transfer is the primary bottleneck in such ... -
Intensifying rehabilitation of combined sewer systems using trenchless technology in combination with low impact development and green infrastructure
