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

    Author : Gabriel Juul; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal energy storage; Carnot battery; sand; packed bed; granular medium; porous medium; effective medium technique; effective thermal conductivity; paramedic study; 3D model; COMSOL; numerical modelling; Lagring av värmeenergi; Carnot-batteri; sand; packad bädd; granulärt medium; poröst medium; effektiv mediumteknik; effektiv värmeledningsförmåga; parametrisk studie; 3D-modell; COMSOL; numerisk modellering;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the heat transfer characteristics of a packed bed thermal energy storage device through the development of a 3D model in COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is based on a laboratory-scale device consisting of an aluminum box filled with sand, which acts as the thermal storage medium. READ MORE

  3. 2. Numerical study of a jet impacting a heated object

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Moutaz Hammoud; [2023]
    Keywords : Numerical model; COMSOL Multiphysics; Heat transfer; Impinging jets.;

    Abstract : Heat transfer brought about by impinging jets is common in several industrialapplications such as the cooling of heated objects. The purpose of this investigationis to create a numerical model of an impacting jet, then to use it in parametricresearch and in the cooling of an electronic device. READ MORE

  4. 3. Theoretical Considerations and Experimental Observations on Heat Transfer in Hydrogen Direct Reduced Iron

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Felix Göttfert; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogen Direct Reduced Iron H-DRI ; Hydrogen Hot Briquetted Iron H-HBI ; Heat Transfer; Thermal Conductivity; Thermophysical Properties; Hydrogen Direct Reduced Iron H-DRI ; Hydrogen Hot Briquetted Iron H-HBI ; Värmeöverföring; Termisk konduktivitet; Termofysiska egenskaper;

    Abstract : Steel has played an indispensable role in shaping our contemporary world  and will persist to play that role for the foreseeable future. However, the steel industry currently is responsible for 7% of the global CO2-emissions, primarily due to the conventional carbon-based reduction process of iron ore. READ MORE

  5. 4. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

  6. 5. Thermal-hydraulic safety analysis of the HTTU and GEMINI+ cores in TRACE

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Eva Joosten; [2022]
    Keywords : HTGR; TRACE; Thermal-Hydraulics; Safety; Heat Transfer; HTGR; TRACE; Termisk-Hydraulik; Säkerhet; Värmeöverföring;

    Abstract : With the coming of Generation IV systems, there is a need for thermal-hydraulic codes to model such advanced reactors. Codes for High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs) already exist, but often suffer from insufficient validation and little user experience. READ MORE
