1. 16. Bodies in Smartwatches : Embodied Data and Augmented Experiences in Self-Tracking Runners

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper (KV)

   Author : Madelene Logren; [2023]
   Keywords : datafication; human-technology relations; postphenomenology; quantified self; self-tracking; smartwatches;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the relation between human and smartwatch by exploring the experiences of four Swedish long-distance runners who use digital technology to self-track their running activities. By examining the participating runners’ use of their smartwatches and smartwatch data as postphenomenological human-technology relations (Ihde, 1990), this thesis offers a perspective on the use of wearable self-tracking technology as augmenting human experience through digital data.

3. 17. Effects of Energy Performance Improving Measures on a 1990's Brick House in Southern Czech Republic : Computer Simulations using IDA-ICE

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Vaclav Panek; [2023]
   Keywords : Final energy demand; Primary energy demand; Energy performance; Refurbishment; Single-family house; Space heating;

   Abstract : The residential sector was responsible for 25% of the Final Energy Demand (FED) in the European Union in 2015. Countries in Central and Eastern Europe such as the Czech Republic are particularly concerned with ensuring security of supply at the lowest possible cost in recent years. READ MORE

4. 18. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
   Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.

5. 19. Benchmarking a 1 kW hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Jonathan Envall; [2023]
   Keywords : PEMFC; fuel cell; UAV; hybrid; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) offer great versatility in the tasks that they may perform and they are today used in many sectors. The H24LEO project, administered by the Lund University School of Aviation, aims to develop and demonstrate a hybrid proton-exchange membrane fuel cell-powered UAV to aid in search and rescue operations performed by the Swedish Maritime Administration, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar work performed by helicopters.

6. 20. Methods and Purposes of Aerodynamic Correlation in Formula Student

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Alix Le Bastard; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates how methods of aerodynamic validation can assist a formula student team in designing their aerodynamic package. When de- signing their aerodynamic components, formula student team mostly rely on CFD software simulations, but there is no guarantee that the simulations de- pict properly the physical behaviour of the airflow around the car.
