1. 6. TRACE Code Validation for Natural Circulation During Small Break LOCA in EPR-Type Reactor

   University essay from KTH/Kärnkraftssäkerhet

   Author : Joan Bertran Morancho; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The PWR PACTEL test facility was built in Lappeenranta (Finland) to gain experience in thermal-hydraulics behavior of vertical steam generators used by EPR (European Pressurized Water Reactor) during SBLOCA (Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident) transient, which involves natural circulation phenomenon. The benchmark, which consisted of blind and open part, offered a unique opportunity for code users to improve and test their knowledge and skills in developing the input deck models and performing calculations.

3. 7. Application of CFD to Safety and Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis of Lead-Cooled Systems

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Marti Jeltsov; [2011]
   Keywords : Coupled Codes; Verification Validation; CFD; System Thermal-Hydraulics; Lead Cooled sys-;

   Abstract : Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is increasingly being used in nuclear reactor safety analysis as a tool that enables safety related physical phenomena occurring in the reactor coolant system to be described in more detail and accuracy. Validation is a necessary step in improving predictive capability of a computationa code or coupled computational codes. READ MORE

4. 8. Energy Optimization of Hydraulic Systems : An investigation of energy-efficient designs for hydraulic systems

   University essay from Institutionen för teknik och samhälle

   Author : Tobias Emnerud; Katarina Svensson; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : An investigation of the global energy consumption debate confirms the complexity of the global environmental issues, the severity of the impact in developing countries and the major efforts that is required to discourse this development. Electricity production is the largest growing source of CO2- emissions, mainly due to the expansion of coal power plants in China and India. READ MORE

5. 9. Improved truck engine control for crane driving : - Focusing on fuel consumption

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Author : Martin Svensson; [2008]
   Keywords : truck; crane; bodywork; diesel engine control; crane control; hydraulics; hydraulic; lastbil; kran; påbyggnad; motorstyrning; kranstyrning; hydraulik; hydraulikstyrning;

   Abstract : Due to increased demands on fuel economy the question of a more intelligent engine control for driving a truck-mounted crane has been raised. The aim of this thesis is to develop a new engine control for crane driving. READ MORE

6. 10. Hydrauliken i Ångersjöns fosforfällor : bestämning av flödesvägar och åtgärdsförslag för optimal fosforbindning vid avloppsrening med reaktiva filter

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Ellinor Jansson; [2008]
   Keywords : fosforrening; Ångersjön; filtermaterial;

   Abstract : Discharge of untreated wastewater leads to unnaturally high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in rivers, lakes and the sea, which results in unbalanced ecosystems with eutrophication and lack of oxygen. Part of the phosphorus in surface waters is coming from on-site wastewater treatment from scattered households with unsatisfactory purification. READ MORE
