1. Additives in a steam engine to decrease friction : Friction testing of solid lubricants in powder form
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the coefficient of friction between steel on steel contacts with the addition of solid lubricants such as h-BN, WS2, MoS2 in powder form, in dry conditions and wet conditions. More specifically, the purpose is to enhance the sliding between the piston rings and cylinder block in a modern high temperature steam engine developed by RANOTOR. READ MORE

2. Decentralizing electricity generation in Cuba : Implementation of a microgrid in the sugar mil lCarlos Baliño
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : Cuba has a long history of different dependencies and is a country facing many energy challenges, and therefore seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The purpose of this degree project is therefore to conceptualize a microgrid based on renewable energy sources for local energy sustainability at the lowest cost possible. READ MORE

3. Fibre volume fractions’ and printing directions’ effects on tribological and mechanical properties in FDM printed carbon fibre reinforced PEEK : Suitability assessment of FDM printed PEEK-CF to act in a steam engine’s ball joint, by analysis of compressive properties, impact strength, friction and wear
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)Abstract : The purpose with this study was to investigate FDM/FFF manufactured carbon fibre reinforced PEEK and assess its suitability to act as a sealing- and bearing material in a modern steam engine’s ball joint. The steam engine is totally free from oil due to the risk of water- and steam contamination. READ MORE

4. Optimal dead space in axial-type expander
University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)Abstract : In this thesis a method for determining optimal dead space in an axial-type expander is developed. The axial-type expander in question is for use in a steam engine, a environmental friendly and fuel-agnostic alternative to the ICE-engine. READ MORE

5. Designing of two load bearing surfaces in a modern high-speed steam engine
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)Abstract : The topic of this thesis is the designing of two load bearing surfaces in a modern high-speed steam expander. One of the surfaces is a synchronizing gear structure and the other a conical surface. The goal besides the design is to calculate the contact pressure these surfaces experience during operation.
