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. Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis of HPGP Thruster

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Lisa Svensson; [2024]
   Keywords : aerospace; HPGP; ECAPS; ANSYS; conjugate heat transfer; thruster; space;

   Abstract : This master's thesis was conducted in collaboration with ECAPS, where a conjugate heat transfer analysis on their High Performance Green Propulsion (HPGP) 22N thruster was done. ECAPS is a Swedish propulsion company specializing in green propulsion. They develop thrusters for spacecraft orbit and attitude control, utilizing the propellant LMP-103S. READ MORE

4. 3. 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.

5. 4. Test rig for evaluation of protective coating against molten aluminum

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Sashank Ghandikota; [2023]
   Keywords : TES; PCM; protective coating; thermal energy storage; TES; PCM; skyddande beläggning; lagring av värmeenergi;

   Abstract : Today, many methods test the lifetime of coatings, but none focus on testing protective coatingsin a non-oxidizing environment. Hence, this master thesis developed a method to test the life-time of a protective coating against molten aluminum. READ MORE

6. 5. Experiments and simulations of gas flow through a NiCd battery

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Sarah Petersson; [2023]
   Keywords : NiCd; battery; porous medium; experiment; CFD; NiCd; batteri; poröst medium; experiment; CFD;

   Abstract : This report describes the thesis work carried out regarding experiments and simulations of the gas flow through a NiCd battery. The objective of the work was to investigate how different geometries of the flip top vent on the battery and the level of porosity of the flame arresting disc impacted the amount of potassium carbonate created at the outlet of the vent.
