  1. 1. Impact of solar-mounted truck on the grid

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Gayathri Radhakrishnan Nair; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sweden has a climatic goal to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 2045. One of the major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions is the transportation sector, out of which the major share lies in the heavy freight sector. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design and construction of an access concept for a tow bar mounted cargo box : Analysis and development of the user experience

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

    Author : Oskar Hildestrand; Emma Karlberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Backbox; Tow bar cargo box; Product analysis; User-centered design; User experience; Product Design; Mechanical Design and Combination lock; Bakbox; Dragkroksbox; Produkt analys; Användarcentrerad design; Användarupplevelse; Produkt design; Mekanisk konstruktion; Kombinationslås;

    Abstract : Due to the climate crisis, electrical vehicles are on the upswing. To optimize the range of electric cars, aerodynamics is an important factor to consider. Therefore, cargo boxes mounted on the tow bar, often called backboxes, have become an interesting alternative to the standard roof mounted cargo box. READ MORE

  4. 3. Aerodynamic Concept Evaluation of Formula Student Side Structure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gabriel Ågren; [2023]
    Keywords : Formula Student; KTH Formula Student; race car aerodynamics; CFD; Multi-element wing;

    Abstract : Formula Student is a global engineering competition where university students collaborate to design, construct, and race formula-style cars. Aerodynamics is one aspect in the vehicle design that can improve on-track performance by increasing cornering and straight-line speed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Method development for the use of Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations for vehicle soiling analysis

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Josep Plana Riu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An increasing amount of sensors is being placed in cars in order to monitor their vicinities, which performance is highly dependant on the driving conditions, in which weather has a big role, and thus water contamination is a topic that will increase its importance in the future of the car industry. One of these sources of contamination is self-soiling: how cars get dirty because of their own tires. READ MORE

  6. 5. Experimental Investigation of the Aerodynamics of a Sailing Cargo Vessel with Four Rigid Wingsails under Unsteady Sailing Conditions

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Antonia Hillenbrand; [2022]
    Keywords : Experimental Aerodynamics; Pressure measurements; Sailing; Scale model testing; Trimming; Sea trial; Experimentell aerodynamik; Tryckmätning; Segling; Testning av skalamodeller; Trimning; Sjöprovning;

    Abstract : Wind propulsion is a traditional way to propel ships over the oceans. In the recent development towards more sustainable shipping, sailing is considered in the industry again with high momentum. For a modern merchant ship, the aerodynamic forces generated on the particular rigging are unusual. READ MORE
