  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. Wound Treatment : An overview and initial investigation of wound care and bioactive materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Louise Ringholm; [2023]
    Keywords : Wound treatment; wound care; bioactive materials; calcium silicate;

    Abstract : Wound care is a field with many treatment methods and products on the market. The healing period varies, some wounds become difficult to heal and chronic, in many cases a connection can be drawn to underlying diseases. Diabetes is a disease that could cause foot ulcers that are difficult to heal. READ MORE

  5. 4. Environmental Barrier Coatings to protect Ceramic Matrix Composites in next-generation jet engines

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Shivang Parmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Environmental barrier coating; ceramic matric composite; atmospheric plasma spray; suspension plasma spray; thermal cyclic fatigue; Barriärbeläggning; keramisk komposit; atmosfärisk plasmasprutning; suspensionsplasmasprutning; termisk cyklisk utmattning;

    Abstract : Gas turbine engine efficiency needs to be raised in order to decrease fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and expenses. Efficiency may be improved in two ways: by reducing engine weight and raising intake temperatures. READ MORE

  6. 5. Exploring Particulate Filtration during Thermal Runaway in Lithium-Ion Battery Packs

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Amanda Halvarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : battery pack; particles; thermal runaway; filtration; batteripack; partiklar; termisk rusning; filtrering;

    Abstract : Med övergången till elektrifiering inom transport uppstår nya utmaningar när det gäller batterisystem som placeras i elfordon. Det finns för närvarande en möjlighet att minska riskerna med toxiciteten hos partiklar som sprutas ut med de gaser som bildas under termisk rusning i litiumjonbattericeller som är placerade i batterisystem.
