  1. 1. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Ziyi Liu; [2024]
    Keywords : Heavy-duty truck; Computational fluid dynamics; Air drag; OpenFOAM;

    Abstract : In the field of heavy-duty vehicles, fuel efficiency and environmental protection are factors that need to be focused on, while the aerodynamic drag generated during vehicle travelling is one of the most influential aspects. This thesis delves into the aerodynamic simulation of Scania trucks using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM v2206. READ MORE

  3. 2. Assessment of hydrogen supply chain for transport sector of Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : José Maria Soares Rodrigues; [2023]

    Keywords : Fuel cells; Phosphoric acid; Polybenzimidazole; PA-PBI; Ionic liquid; IL; High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell; HT-PEMFC; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; EIS; IL-PBI; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study four membranes were tested and evaluated against each other for use in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) applications. A phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane, was used as a reference as the current state-of-the-art. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of an Accelerated Test Method for Compressed Natural Gas Fuel System Robustness against Contamination

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

    Author : Elias Aretorn; [2023]
    Keywords : CNG; Natural Gas; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; Fuel System; Contamination; Cleanliness; Accelerated Testing; Experimental Setup; Pressure Regulator;

    Abstract : A key factor for driving the shift towards sustainable transportation systems is alternative fuels, where compressed natural gas (CNG) is a beneficial alternative to the conventional fossil fuels with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. A fuel system is needed for heavy-duty natural gas vehicles, in order to transport the highly pressurized gas from the fuel tanks to the internal combustion engine. READ MORE
