  1. 1. Juice/JDC ion measurement perturbations caused by spacecraft charging in the solar wind and Earth’s magnetosheath

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Derek van Winden; [2024]
    Keywords : Juice; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer; JDC; Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer; Particle Environment Package; PEP; Jupiter; Ganymede; Callisto; Europa; solar wind; magnetosheath; spacecraft charging; Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software; SPIS; charging; plasma; measurement perturbations; perturbation; distortion; particle detector; Institutet för Rymdfysik; IRF; Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies; DIAS; European Space Agency; ESA;

    Abstract :  In July 2031, a new chapter in the exploration of the Jovian system will begin with the arrival of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) at Jupiter. Launched on April 14 2024 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme, the mission aims to study Jupiter and its icy Galilean moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. READ MORE

  2. 2. Battery Degradation and Health Monitoring in Lithium-Ion Batteries: An Evaluation of Parameterization and Sensor Fusion Strategies

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Simon Saber; [2024]
    Keywords : model-based diagnostics; modellbaserad diagnostik;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to perform model-based diagnosis on Li-ion batteries using real-world data and sensor fusion algorithms. The data used in this project was collected and distributed by NASA and mainly consists of voltage and current measurements collected on numerous batteries that were repeatedly charged and discharged from their beginning of life, and until surpassing their end of life.

  3. 3. Investigating self-discharge in a graphite dual-ion cell using in-situ Raman spectroscopy.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Ismail Yussuf Hassan; [2023]
    Keywords : graphite; dual-ion battery; parasitic reaction; cathode-electrolyte interface; anion intercalation; concentrated electrolyte; self-discharge; Raman spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Anion intercalation in the graphite positive electrode of a dual-ion battery requires high potential (> 4.3 V vs Li+/Li), which aggravates parasitic reactions involving electrolyte decomposition and Al corrosion, manifesting in poor coulombic efficiency, cycle life, and quick self-discharge.

  4. 4. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Steven Hendrik Bijl; [2023]
    Keywords : Heavy Ions; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

  5. 5. Discharge and Flame Chemistry in Lithium-Ion Battery Vent Gases : Investigations using Breakdown Experiments with Laser-Based Diagnostics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Julia Lövgren; [2023]
    Keywords : PLIF; Laser-induced fluorescence; Laser-based diagnostics; Combustion; Lithium-ion battery; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Due to the environmental impact of fossil fuels, there has been a growing interest in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. However, safety concerns have arisen regarding potential fire hazards associated with the vent gases of these batteries. READ MORE
