1. 16. Effect of temperature on early stage adhesion during TiAlN sliding against Inconel 718 and Stainless steel 316L : High temperature tribology

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

   Author : Ahsan Ali; [2023]
   Keywords : High temperature tribology; Early-stage adhesion; Adhesive wear; Friction; Wear resistant coatings; Physical vapour deposition PVD coatings; TiAlN; Tungsten carbide WC Co ; Difficult to machine super alloys; Inconel 718; Stainless steel 316L; High-performance materials; Abrasion; Oxidation; Chipping; Ploughing; Characterization;

   Abstract : High-performance materials such as stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are widely used in demanding applications where high mechanical and thermal properties are required. The applications of super alloys are mainly found in jet engines, power plants and gas turbines demanding high fatigue strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as wear resistant properties.

3. 17. Estimating Photovoltaic capacity using customs data : Model development of the tool NJORD and photovoltaics' characterization and impact on the African continent

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

   Author : Albin Åbrink; [2023]
   Keywords : Photovoltaic; Trade analysis; Development Goals; Africa;

   Abstract : Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the fastest growing power sources in the world in the last twenty years, being the most installed power source in almost half of the world's countries in 2020. Despite this, precise tracking of installations of PV does not exist in most of the world's markets due to PVs unique scalability and modularity. READ MORE

4. 18. Governance and decision-making : Lessons from three French eco-villages

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Gwenaël Bertrand; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In a context of rising environmental pressure and slow societal changes in response, the emergence of ecovillages comes as a small-scale solution to actively propose sustainable alternatives to the modern consumerist society. The human factor plays a key role in enabling such ecovillages to last. READ MORE

5. 19. Additives in a steam engine to decrease friction : Friction testing of solid lubricants in powder form

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

   Author : Viktor Lange; [2023]
   Keywords : Tribology; friction; wear; steam; steam engine; ranotor; invencon; invencon AB; steel; contact mechanics; hexagonal boron nitride; molybdenum disulfide; tungsten disulfide; lubricants; solid lubricants; Tribologi; friktion; nötning; ånga; ångmotor; stål; kontaktmekanik; smörjning; smörjmedel; fasta smörjmedel;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the coefficient of friction between steel on steel contacts with the addition of solid lubricants such as h-BN, WS2, MoS2 in powder form, in dry conditions and wet conditions. More specifically, the purpose is to enhance the sliding between the piston rings and cylinder block in a modern high temperature steam engine developed by RANOTOR. READ MORE

6. 20. Methods for Developing TinyConvolutional Neural Networksfor Deployment on EmbeddedSystems

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Egemen Yiğit Kömürcü; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With the recent development in the Deep Learning area, computationally heavy tasks like object detection in images have become easier to compute and take less time to execute with powerful GPUs. Also, when employing sufficiently larger models, these daily tasks are predicted with greater accuracy. READ MORE
