  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Analysis of a shape morphing structural battery: manufacturing, analytical modeling and numerical simulation

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

    Author : Alfredo Bici; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A reduction in the global use of fossil fuels is necessary when striving for a more sustainable future. One key strategy in the transition from fossil fuels is electrification. This strategy is particularly prominent within the transport sector, where more efficient ways to store electric energy are being pursued. READ MORE

  4. 3. Performance Evaluation of a 3D Printed Mirror Actuator : A Comparison with the James Webb Space Telescope

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Louise Leopoldsson; Ellen Lindsjö; [2023]
    Keywords : Actuator; James Webb Space Telescope;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate the similarities in precision and performance between a James WebbSpace Telescope mirror actuator, the part controlling the motion of the primary mirror segments,and two 3D printed replicas. The two replicas were made from the plastics PLA and PETGand based on the designs of Zachary Tong. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

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

    Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
    Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

    Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. 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.
