  1. 11. Propagation of Nuclear Data Uncertainties for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It could be argued that a renaissance is taking place for the global interest in nuclear power - especially for the development of the next generation of reactor systems that aim at solving the problems with contemporary energy production with nuclear technology. One such proposed concept for Gen IV nuclear power is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), in which the nuclear fuel is in solution of a salt - often based on fluorine or chlorine. READ MORE

  3. 12. Dynamic simulation and 3D visualization of a floating tilted counter-rotating vertical axis offshore wind turbine

    University essay from

    Author : Lovisa Jonsson; Alexander Hedene; Klara Österling; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind turbine; Offshore; VAWT; CRVT; Simulation; Visualization; MATLAB; Dynamics;

    Abstract : The growing global demand for clean energy is critical, and wind power plays a crucial role in addressing this need. The increasing demand is driving advancements in the field of offshore wind power and one promising innovation is the counter-rotating vertical axis turbines (CRVT), specifically designed for floating wind power installations.

  4. 13. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

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

    Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
    Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

    Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

  5. 14. Experiments and simulations of gas flow through a NiCd battery

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

    Author : Sarah Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : NiCd; battery; porous medium; experiment; CFD; NiCd; batteri; poröst medium; experiment; CFD;

    Abstract : This report describes the thesis work carried out regarding experiments and simulations of the gas flow through a NiCd battery. The objective of the work was to investigate how different geometries of the flip top vent on the battery and the level of porosity of the flame arresting disc impacted the amount of potassium carbonate created at the outlet of the vent.
