A Final Move to Your Own House
(SINTEF Proceedings;8, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Objective – What makes a house a home? Many residents of care centres do not feel at home. 'This is not my own house', is what we heard in many of our conversations with residents. What makes the current houses into homes? ... -
A method for determining the time-dependent indoor CO2 concentration to evaluate air hygiene
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)This paper deals with new ways to describe and assess indoor air CO2-levels to provide a sufficient clarity. Besides common illustrations of measured or calculated CO2 concentrations over a certain period of time different ... -
A multifluid‐PBE model for a slurry bubble column with bubble size dependent velocity, weight fractions and temperature
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)With kinetic gas theory as a starting point, equations of change for total mass, species mass, momentum and inner energy are developed for the dispersed gaseous phase and implemented to describe the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis ... -
A multi‐domain 1D particle‐reactor model for packed bed reactor applications
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)A validated multi-domain 1D particle-reactor model has been developed to simulate packed bed reactor operation. Two main components of the model are: (1) a particle model for simulating the radial distribution of chemical ... -
