  1. 1. Numerical modeling of airflow on the cathode-side of a bipolar flow plate : How the formed geometry affects the pressure drop and flow distribution in a hydrogen fuel cell

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Olivia Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; Cross-sectional geometry; Computational fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : Climate change and rising temperatures is a well-known problem. To tackle global warming a transition from fossil fuels to renewable and reliable energy sources is necessary. Hydrogen, in fuel cells, is proposed to replace diesel and gasoline in the transport sector. READ MORE

  3. 2. Incorporating Flax Fiber Composites in Hypercar Panels

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

    Author : Hanna Öster; Sara Isorena Guðjónsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : sound transmission loss; coincidence frequency; sound pressure level; flax fibre; carbon fibre; ljudtransmission; koincidensfrekvens; ljudtrycksnivå; linfiber; kolfiber;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates sound transmission loss through flat finite panels using composite materials, which incorporate both carbon and flax fibres. The study wascarried out by performing FEM simulations developed and validated in steps. Thevalidation process was time-consuming but crucial in ensuring the model’s reliability. READ MORE

  4. 3. Experimental Testing of Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal Collectors for Low Temperature Heat Pump Integration

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

    Author : Jaakko Eskola; [2023]
    Keywords : Solar photovoltaic thermal; PVT; heat pump; thermal performance; ISO 9806:2017; Solhybrid; PVT; värmepump; termisk prestanda; ISO 9806:2017;

    Abstract : A hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector enables simultaneous electricity and heat production from a single solar module. Integrating PVT collectors with a ground source heat pump (GSHP) improves the seasonal performance of the heating system and prevents from temperature degradation of the ground. READ MORE

  5. 4. Solar Pool Heating at Obbola School : A pilot study about performance evaluation of different solar thermal collectors and their long-term economic benefits for Umeå Municipality

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Tekie Tekle; [2022]
    Keywords : Solar Thermal Energy; Solvärme;

    Abstract : This pilot study aims to evaluate the thermal performance of different types of solar thermal collectors and their long-term economic benefits for Obbola school, located within the Umeå municipality. The goal of this project is to investigate how much thermal and electrical energy can be generated annually and even during summertime by using only solar collectors for heating purposes of an outdoor pool at Obbola school.
