Popular Abstract in Swedish Eld har fascinerat människan i alla tider. Att sitta och värma sig vid en lägereld, sjunga sånger eller bara titta på hur elden rör sig är något de flesta har upplevt. Hur många har egentligen funderat på var värmen kommer ifrån, hur den gula färgen uppstår eller vad eld egentligen består av? Några av frågorna finns det nu svar på, men fortfarande finns det mycket att uThe work presented in this thesis covers how laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PF-LIF) can be used to determine quantitative species concentrations in different combustion environments. To attain species concentrations with LIF it is of vital importance to investigate the influence of collisional quenching on the fluorescence signal strength, which
Energieffektivitet är viktigt i vårt moderna samhälle och i jakten på det kan oväntade problem uppstå. När Axis Communications i strävan efter ökad bildkvalitet och energieffektivitet tillämpade IR-stroboskop med hög toppeffekt som belysning åt kameror med global slutare, observerades en artefakt i form av ett vitt band i närliggande kameror med rullande slutare. Syftet med detta examensarbete är Energy efficiency is key in our modern society, and in its pursuit, unexpected problems can appear. For instance, when Axis Communications in the pursuit of image quality and energy efficiency used strobing IR-illumination to illuminate for their global shutter cameras, they observed an artefact in the form of a white band in their rolling shutter cameras. The purpose of this thesis is to find a s
