1. 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)

   Author : Viktor Lange; [2023]
   Keywords : Tribology; friction; wear; steam; steam engine; ranotor; invencon; invencon AB; steel; contact mechanics; hexagonal boron nitride; molybdenum disulfide; tungsten disulfide; lubricants; solid lubricants; Tribologi; friktion; nötning; ånga; ångmotor; stål; kontaktmekanik; smörjning; smörjmedel; fasta smörjmedel;

   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

3. 2. The design of a hydraulic equalizer bar for the feeding mechanism on forest harvester heads

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

   Author : Arvid Söderlund; [2023]
   Keywords : Harvester; Harvester head; Komatsu Forest; Hydraulics; Equalizer bar; Parallellstag; Stag; Skogsmaskin; Skördare; Aggregat; Skog;

   Abstract : Due to the importance of a correct tree placement and the wear that occurs to equalizer bars inharvester heads, Komatsu Forest AB in Umeå was interested if the bar could be replaced with ahydraulic system. According to Komatsu, the problems were that the equalizer bars that are responsible forsynchronizing the delimbing knives and feeding mechanism add weight, take up space and have atendency to break before their life expectancy.

4. 3. Analysis of high-voltage low-current DC/DC converters for electrohydrodynamic pumps

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : Sigge Axelsson; Jonas Gartner; Axel Stafström; [2023]
   Keywords : high-voltage; low-current; low-power; DC DC; DC-DC; high-gain; converter; electrohydrodynamic pump; EHD; transformerless converter; Royer-based converter; resonant Royer oscillator; Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier; CWVM; voltage multiplier; series-connected positive-negative voltage multiplier; SPNVM; planar air-core transformer; planar transformer; high-freqency Royer-based converter; overcurrent protection; LT8331; gallium nitride; GaN; planar PCB-integrated transformers;

   Abstract : Moving parts cause vibrations and tend to wear out. In applications where maintenance is complicated, solutions without moving parts are therefore advantageous. Electrohydrodynamic pumps are such a solution. Instead of mechanical propulsion, they use strong electric fields to induce movement in a dielectric cooling liquid. READ MORE

5. 4. Test rig for gear transmissions in electrical applications

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

   Author : Gustaf Axelström; [2023]
   Keywords : power circulation; gear test rig; gear testing; effektcirkulation; testrigg; kugghjulstest;

   Abstract : Due to the environmental problems associated with fossil fuels and a big need from the market, the majority of the automotive industry is going towards fully electric vehicles (EVs). To further reduce the environmental footprint there is ongoing research on the use of fossil-free lubricants, if they could be used to lubricate the drive train which could further reduce the use of fossil oil in the automotive industry.

6. 5. Influence of Surface Carbon Content on the Wear of Threaded Connections in Rock Drilling Steels

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

   Author : Andreas Hälsing; [2023]
   Keywords : carbon content; wear performance; carburized steel; dry contact interface; threaded connections; drill rods; samples; shot peening; production process; twin-disc wear tester; RPM; operating conditions; wear rate; surface topography; hardness; optical analysis; light optical microscopy; scanning electron microscopy; surface carbon content; microstructural changes; frictional heat; contact pressure; wear mechanisms; plastic deformation; adhesive scratching; material removal; delamination;

   Abstract : This thesis work was conducted at Luleå University of Technology in collaboration with Sandvik Rock Tools. The aim of the work was to determine the influence of carbon content on the wear performance in carburized steel in the dry contact interface of threaded connections between drill rods. READ MORE
