Our application for center of excellence, Porous Media Laboratory, was granted by the Norwegian Research Council!! The topic is fundamental knowledge on flow through porous media. Progress in the center will contribute to safer and more efficient extraction of oil and injection of ...

Our paper entitled: Thermodynamic modeling with equations of state: present challenges with established methods has been accepted for publication in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. In the work, we review present challenges associated with established models, and give suggestions on how to overcome them ...

Our paper entitled: Thermodynamic models to accurately describe the PVTxy-behavior of water / carbon dioxide mixtures has been accepted for publication in Fluid Phase Equilibria. In the work, we present a comprehensive comparison of thermodynamic models for describing their PVTxy behavior, i.e. densities and ...

Our paper entitled: Harnessing thermoelectric power from transient heat sources: Waste heat recovery from silicon production has been accepted for publication in Energy conversion and management. In the work, we investigate the response of a bismuth-telluride based TEG to the transient environment of a ...

Ailo Aasen has started his PhD in the group. He has a solid background in mathematics (Msc. degree). In addition, he has more than two years of experience with thermodynamic modelling from his work at SINTEF Energy Research. He was awarded with ...

Our paper entitled: The spinodal of single- and multi-component fluids and its role in the development of modern equations of state has been accepted for publication in Fluid Phase Equilibria. The spinodal represents the limit of thermodynamic stability of a homogeneous fluid. In this ...

Our article on the energy efficient reindeer nose entitled: “The Nasal Geometry of the Reindeer Gives Energy-Efficient Respiration” has been picked up by several national media outlets such as Gemini, Teknisk Ukeblad, Forskning.no, Computerworld, and international media outlets such as Sciencedaily, Arabian Post (Newspaper in the United Arab Emirates) , Obwaldner Zeitung ...

Our paper entitled: Exploring the potential for waste heat recovery during metal casting with thermoelectric generators: On-site experiments and mathematical modeling has been accepted for publication in Energy. Since casting of metals like silicon occurs at a very high temperature (about 1750 K), much ...

Our paper entitled: The Permselectivity and Water Transference Number of Ion Exchange Membranes in Reverse Electrodialysis has been accepted for publication in the Journal of membrane science. Ion exchange membranes are the main components of equipment to perform reverse electrodialysis, i.e. to produce electricity ...
