  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

  2. 2. Characterisation of Ionic Liquid doped Polybenzimidazole Membranes for Application in High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Adam Jacobsson Trönndal; [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

  3. 3. Biogas Potential in the North of Sweden : Inventory and Techno-Economic Assessment of Substrates for an Increased Biogas Production in Norrbotten

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Alma Fahlén Hammar; [2023]
    Keywords : Biogas; anaerobic digestion; AD; Norrland; bioenergy; fossil-free; chemical engineering; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the production of alternative energy sources needs to intensify.

  5. 5. Changing Transport Strategy to Off-Peak Hour Delivery in Gothenburg and Copenhagen - Lessons and Recommendations learned from the New York and Stockholm Pilot Projects

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Diego Henriquez; Konstantinos Stavrou; [2022-08-03]
    Keywords : Off-Peak Hour Delivery; Urban Freight Transport; Stakeholders; Traffic Congestion; Environmental Pollution; Electric Vehicle;

    Abstract : The pattern of urbanisation is determined by a set of complex aspects in social, economic, environmental, as well as technological that increases the concentration of the population in urban settlements. Many cities are experiencing difficulties and immense pressure on the infrastructure by declining traffic conditions with a series of issues including longer transit times, increased fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, prompting stakeholders and policymakers to tackle the issue by introducing alternative solutions to utilise the urban infrastructure more efficiently.
