  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Multifunctional ice and snow repellent coatings for photovoltaic modules

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Gunnar Sandkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : sol-gel; superhydrophobic; dip-coating; anti-reflective; silica;

    Abstract : Implementation of solar power by photovoltaic modules in cold climates, such as northern Sweden, implies several challenges. Ice and snow coverage not only leads to reduction in energy production due to shading, but it also puts equipment at risk from additional weight. READ MORE

  4. 3. Internal strain in the magnetocaloric alloy MnCoSi

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Olivia Vaerst; [2021]
    Keywords : MnCoSi; Magnetocaloric Effect; Arc Melting; Strain; X-Ray Diffraction; Williamson-Hall; Rietveld Refinement; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Cooling systems based on magnetic refrigeration are a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to commonly used gas-compression refrigeration. Magnetic refrigeration is based on the magnetocaloric effect. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical study of the effect of thermal ice loads on concrete dams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Imal Zuwak; Wasseem Kordoghly; [2020]
    Keywords : Arch dam; Buttress dam; Concrete; Finite element analysis; Ice load; Valvdamm; Lamelldamm; Betong; Finit elementanalys; Islast;

    Abstract : It is essential to understand the mechanics of ice load and how it affects concrete dams located in a cold climate, such as Sweden, where the temperature becomes sufficiently cold to freeze the surface of the reservoir. The purpose of this thesis is to study ice load distribution along concrete dams, and its response during the application of an ice load. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vägsaltets påverkan på närliggande vegetation, mark samt närliggande slitlager

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Jakob Frängsmyr; Stina Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : vägsalt; struktur; halkbekämpning; jord; lignoser; påverkan;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta arbete är att göra en litteraturstudie och sammanställa fakta om hur vägsalt (NaCl, natriumklorid) påverkar vår stadsmiljö samt att få en överblick hur vegetation, slitlager och markytor i närheten av saltbehandlade vägar påverkas av den höga saltningsintensiteten. I arbetet ingår också en kartläggning av vilka andra alternativ och metoder till salt som provats för att eventuellt kunna vara likvärdiga eller bättre i sin funktion och inte vara lika skadliga som salt är för miljön.
