One of the most promising technologies available for decreasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCCC). The process is based on absorption-desorption of carbon dioxide by a solvent. Amine ...

In recent years, capture of carbon dioxide released from fuel-combustion has become one of the most important field operations. A commonly used process for carbon dioxide capture is applying a post-combustion-CO2-capture (PCCC) ...

Quantitative risk assessment is a crucial step in safety analysis of process systems. Advancement of modern technologies has resulted in availability of large volume of process data. This tendency urges the need of developing ...

This PhD thesis presents novel system control methods that can be utilized for effective and reliable operation of electric grids and passenger elevators. First of all, this study introduces a new spinning reserve allocation ...

In this thesis I examine the hypothesis that the performance of lipreading systems can be improved by including thermal image data in combination with the usual visual image streams. I test the hypothesis by constructing ...

The receptivity and stability of steady non-separated and unsteady separated boundary layers in a two-dimensional airfoil cascade flow is investigated by Direct Numerical Simulation of the time-dependent Navier-stokes and ...

Multiphase flow is a simultaneous movement of several immiscible phases, such as gas, oil, water and solid particles, and it is observed in petroleum industry in a wide area of operations. The most expected flow conduit ...

Development of a proper blood damage model is important step in future evolution of the blood wetted devices. The mentioned model on the other hand, requires an accurate blood cell segregation prediction. Blood segregation ...

Chitosan has been a successful choice for tissue-engineering applications over the last few decades. Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide with excellent properties for tissue engineering applications, such as biodegradability, ...

Coal combustion remains to be one of the main energy sources in the world, despite the agile actions towards alternative energy sources. According to International Energy Agency demand for coal as for an energy source ...
