  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. Deep learning for non-intrusive sensing in turbulence with passive scalars

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Arivazhagan Geetha Balasubramanian; [2021]
    Keywords : Turbulent boundary layer; passive scalar; direct numerical simulation; Prandtl number; Machine learning; convolutional neural network; Turbulent gränsskikt; passiv skalär; direkt numerisk simulering; Prandtl-nummer; maskininlärning; faltningsneurala nätverk;

    Abstract : The near-wall modelling of turbulent flows has been an active field of research due to the computational cost associated with the direct numerical simulations of such flow, which are characterized by a wide range of length and time scales. With the recent advancements in technological capabilities, the availability of high-fidelity data has enabled the construction of data-driven approaches to model turbulence. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Numerical Study of Melt Pool Heat Transfer in the IVR of a PWR

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Yuer Zhao; [2021]
    Keywords : In-vessel melt retention; corium pool; Zr oxidation ratio; melt pool convection; CFD; SST k-ω turbulence model; Smältretention i kärlet; koriumpöl; Zr-oxidationsförhållande; konvektion i en smältpöl; CFD; SST k-ω turbulensmodell;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to provide the thermal condition of melt pool convection by CFD simulation, which is important to the assessment of the invessel melt retention (IVR) strategy widely adopted in Generation III pressurized water reactors (PWRs). As a severe accident mitigation measure, the IVR strategy is realized through external cooling of the lower head of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV). READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessing a Modeling Standard in Volcanic-Geothermal Systems: the Effects of the Lower System Boundary

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shelly Mardhia Faizy; [2021]
    Keywords : Geothermal; Numerical Modelling; Laccolith; Permeability; Topography;

    Abstract : Geothermal energy consumption is projected to increase along with other renewable energy in the future. Therefore, it is important to have a better understanding on the evolution of geothermal systems to optimize the exploitation of such resources. Generally, numerical models are used as a fundamental tool to study a potential geothermal field. READ MORE

  6. 5. Thermomechanical stress analysis of the main insulation system of traction electrical machines

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Dahman Ismail; Alexis Andrei; [2020]
    Keywords : finite element analysis; thermo-mechanical stress; heavy-duty vehicle; electrical machine; insulation system; coupled-temperature displacement analysis; finita element analys; termomekaniska spänningar; lastbilar; elektriska motorer; isolering; termisk kopplingsförbindelse;

    Abstract : More efficiency heavy-duty vehicles are developed with higher range, updated electronic and mechanical parts. The fuel efficiency and pollution of carbon dioxide need to be lower to achieve new EU regulations. The global population increases with an increased number of heavy-duty vehicles. This, in turn, increases the emission. READ MORE
