  1. 16. Thermal environment and design considerations of the Foresail-2 satellite mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Deepa Anantha Raman; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; thermal control; radiation; heat transfer; boom;

    Abstract : The thermal design of small satellite missions is critical for ensuring the performance and longevity of onboard instruments. This thesis focuses on the thermal design of Foresail-2, a 6U CubeSat mission to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), specifically addressing the thermal challenges associated with the magnetometer located at the end of a long boom featured on the satellite.

  3. 17. Short-horizon Prediction of Indoor Temperature using Low-Order Thermal Networks : A case study of thermal models for heat-system control applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jonas Cederberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Lumped Parameter Thermal Network; Resistance-Capacitance model; Parameter estimation; Modelling of Dynamical Systems; Thermal modelling; Temperature Prediction; Termiskt nätverk med klumpade parametrar; Mostånds-kapacitans modell; Parameterestimering; Modellering av dynamiska system; Termisk modellering; Temperaturprediktion.;

    Abstract : Optimizing and controlling the heating systems in buildings is one way to decrease their load on the power grid, as well as introduce load flexibility to be used in Demand Response (DR) applications. A requirement in occupied buildings is that the thermal comfort of the residents is guaranteed, making the optimization of heating systems a constrained problem with respect to indoor temperature.

  4. 18. Evaluation of electric actuation for fighter aircraft

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Dennis Moliner Pettersson; Anton Nygårds; [2023]
    Keywords : EMA; actuator; actuation; MEA; aircraft; PMSM; SHA;

    Abstract : The tendency of recent years towards electrification of aircraft components and subsys-tems has opened the door for a wider usability of electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs) inthat context. EMAs are already in use in aircraft industries but mainly in civil aviation forsecondary control systems and non-critical applications. READ MORE

  5. 19. Use of Pulse Thermography for Characterization of Defects in Polymer Composites

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

    Author : Kim Klöckner; [2023]
    Keywords : NDT; Pulse Thermography; polymer composites; boats manufacturing; end-of-life structures; defect characterization;

    Abstract : In this project, the possibility of using thermography as a non-destructive testing tool in the manufacturing process of boats and to assess the quality of end-of-life composite structures has been explored. To do so, a literature surview regarding the current applications of thermography and the techniques currently used for quality control in the boats industry has been conducted. READ MORE

  6. 20. Potential benefits of implementing demand response into Vattenfall’s district cooling grid in Uppsala, Sweden

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

    Author : Magdalena Guerrero Wretljung; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lately, there has been an increased cooling demand in Vattenfall’s district cooling (DC) network in Uppsala, Sweden. This especially occurs on warmer summer days, during so-called peak demand periods, where there is limited cooling capacity combined with limited distribution capacity in the network. READ MORE
