Last week, a large part of the group visited the twenty-second symposium on thermophysical properties in Boulder, Colorado in the US. It was a very long trip with Trondheim as the starting point, but it was nice to meet so many people again in person. Five people from the group were attending. Tage Maltby presented about the …
Pauline Zimmermann successfully defended her PhD thesis, 24.06.2024. The opponents were Ass. Prof. Zdenek Slouka and Dr. Marit Takla.
Simon Birger Byremo Solberg successfully defended his PhD thesis, 13.06.2024. It was a great day! The first opponent was Ass. Prof. Jouke E. Dykstra, and the second opponent was Ass. Prof. Jelena Popovic-Neuber.
A new article has been published in the journal Deslination, entitled Thermo-osmotic coefficients in membrane distillation: Theory and experiments for three type of membranes. The thermo-osmotic coefficient of a porous medium is the ratio of the mass flow rate and the temperature difference that drives the flow. Thermo-osmotic coefficients of the Millipore DuraPore HVHP, GVHP and …
A new article has been published in Fluid Phase Equilbria, entitled Bulk and interfacial thermodynamics of ammonia, water and their mixtures. Ammonia is a promising energy carrier for the green transition, but its hygroscopicity and toxicity necessitate in-depth understanding of its interaction with water. This work examines the bulk and interfacial thermodynamics of the ammonia–water system. …

Congratulations to Christian Ulrichsen for successfully defending his Msc. thesis today, entitled: ” Investigating Corrosion Rate of Steel Under Insulation Using Electrochemical Noise Monitoring”!
A new article has been published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, entitled The influence of thermal diffusion on water migration through a porous insulation material. The article is part of an ongoing project in WP8 in Porelab to understand the mechanism of corrosion under insulation (CUI). Excess water on pipes and …

A new article has been published in Scientific reports, entitled Water adsorption on surfaces of calcium aluminosilicate crystal phase of stone wool: A DFT study. The article is part of an ongoing project in WP8 in Porelab to understand the mechanism of corrosion under insulation (CUI). Stone wool is widely used as an efficient thermal insulator …
We are very happy that Jonas Bueie has joined the group. He will do his PhD in the ERC project, Interlab, and will work to unravel the fundamental mechanism behind transfer of heat and mass across the vapor-liquid interface. He has now worked some years at SINTEF Energy Research, after he delivered his Msc. thesis …
A new article has been published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, entitled Thermodynamically consistent modeling of gas flow and adsorption in porous media. This is a work who my colleague Magnus Aa. Gjennestad and me have been working on for several years. In modeling of gas flow through porous media width …
