  1. 1. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

  3. 2. Thermal and flow field validation of lattice Boltzmann method solver

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : André Skagius-Kallin; [2023]
    Keywords : Lattice Boltzmann method; heat transfer; flow field;

    Abstract : Computational fluid dynamics, abbreviated CFD, is a valuable tool for several engineering applications. Applications such as heating, cooling or drying are some examples of areas where CFD is used. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of CAD Models for Large Silencer Platforms Using Design Automation

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktrealisering

    Author : Mahim Kai; Balagangadar Thilakar Arumugam; [2023]
    Keywords : Design Automation; Silencer; CFD; Extraction;

    Abstract : Scania is known as a front-runner in the development of power trains for heavy vehicles, marine, and general industrial applications. As the regulations on emissions for combustion engine vehicles are getting tougher with increasing awareness on sustainable solutions and reducing environmental impact, the goal at Scania is to develop combustion engines to achieve low-pollutant emissions whilst achieving higher efficiency.

  5. 4. CFD investigation of a unit cell inside a Plate Heat Exchanger

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Mattias Ly; [2023]
    Keywords : Plate Heat Exchanger; CFD; Computational Fluid Dynamics; LES; Large Eddy Simulation; Periodic; Unit Cell; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. READ MORE

  6. 5. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE
