Wednesday, 5th of October, Michael Rauter successfully defended his PhD-thesis entitled: “Fluid Transport through Nanoporous Media in the Presence of Phase Transitions”. The opponents of the thesis were Prof. Rainer Helmig from the University of Stuttgart, and Prof. Amparo Galindo from Imperial College ...

Friday, 30th of September, Vilde successfully defended her PhD-thesis entitled: “Fundamental Aspects of Thermodynamics of Small Systems Investigated Through Molecular Simulations and Theoretical Descriptions”. The opponents of the thesis were Ass. Prof. Christelle Miqueu from the University of Pai & Adour, and ...

Vegard Jervell has joined the group to pursue a PhD about the driving forces for flow through porous media. Vegard also wrote his Msc. thesis with the group on kinetic gas theory with real interaction potentials and on a critical analysis of ...

Tage Malby has joined the group to pursue a PhD about the thermo-physical properties of mixtures between hydrogen, neon and helium that can contribute to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the power demand in hydrogen liquefaction processes. Some advantages of using ...

Our new paper entitled One-dimensional mathematical modeling of two-phase ejectors: Extension to mixtures and mapping of the local exergy destruction has just been published in Applied Thermal Engineering. The ejector is a process equipment frequently used in refrigeration processes. In the paper, we ...

Our new paper entitled Heat to Hydrogen by Reverse Electrodialysis-Using a Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Model to Evaluate Hydrogen Production Concepts Utilising Waste Heat has just been published in Energies. In the article, we study reverse electrodialysis heat engines by use of non-equilibrium thermodynamics ...

From the 16th to the 20th of July, we were in Graz, Austria, to participate at the 32nd European Symposium on Applied Thermodynamics 2022. It was great to meet colleagues and thermodynamic friends from outside of Norway again after the long break ...

In our recent paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics entitled “Equation of state for confined fluids“, we present a consistent thermodynamic framework for calculating the thermodynamic properties of confined fluids. Fluids confined in small volumes behave differently than fluids in bulk ...

Morten and me are so fortunate to be at a research stay at the University of Stuttgart for some months at the moment. Here, we visit the group of Prof. Joachim Gross, head of the Institute of Technical Thermodynamics and Thermal Process ...
