Validation of heat transfer coefficients in pipes and deck elements without ice glazing
Master's thesis in Offshore technology: Marine and subsea technology In recent years, there has been unprecedented interest shown in the Arctic region by the industry as it has become increasingly accessible for exploration. It has become quite common to have oil & gas field developments in...
