  1. 11. Membrane evaluation and thermal modelling of the vanadium redox flow battery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Anders Kronander; [2016]
    Keywords : thermodynamics; Thermal; Simulation; Energy storage solutions; Modelling; VRB; Vanadium; Battery; chemical engineering; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In this study, different membranes were tested for their use in a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB). The membranes were first tested under charge-discharge operation of the VRB over four charge-discharge cycles at different current densities (20 mAcm-2, 40 mA cm-2 and 60 mAcm-2) and the corresponding cell performance was evaluated in terms of total energy efficiency (EE), coulombic efficiency (CE) and voltage efficiency (VE).

  3. 12. Receiver Design Methodology for Solar Tower Power Plants

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Joseph Stalin Maria Jebamalai; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Centrala solmottagarsystem (CRS) är på frammarsch på grund av deras höga koncentrationsfaktor och höga potential att minska kostnaderna genom att öka kapacitetsfaktorn av solkraftanläggningar med lagring. I CRS kraftanläggningar är solljuset fokuserat på mottagaren genom arrangemanget av tusentals speglar för att omvandla solstrålning till värme för att driva värmecykler. READ MORE

  4. 13. Quantifying terrain factor using GIS applications for real estate property valuation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Dahlia Mudzaffar Ali; [2016]
    Keywords : digital elevation model DEM ; GIS; geography; physical geography; property valuation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the use of GIS applications to derive adjustment figures for the terrain factor in property valuation tasks. It aims at suggesting a quantitative approach alternative to evaluate the terrain factor as opposed to traditional methods and current industry practices where terrain is qualitatively judged based on visual observation at site and subjected to individual opinion.

  5. 14. Wind flows impact on pedestrian comfort study in a Joint Development Zone project

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Célie BIGORRE; [2015]
    Keywords : Wind flows; Energy; Bioclimatism; Pedestrian comfort;

    Abstract : Passive gains are becoming essentials with the introduction of new buildings thermal regulations. To optimize such gains, districts ground plan have to be based not only on urban consideration, but on bioclimatic considerations as well. READ MORE

  6. 15. Fabrication and Validation of a Nano Engineered Glucose Powered Biofuel Cell

    University essay from KTH/Material- och nanofysik

    Author : Srejith Satheesh; [2014]
    Keywords : fuel Cells; Nanotechnology; Nanomaterials; Nanocatalysis; Bifule cells; Glucose;

    Abstract : Fuel Cells are important forms of sustainable power generation and Biofuel Cells utilize the use of bio-compatible/biodegradable molecules as fuels. Glucose is an ideal candidate to serve this purpose. In this project, a Glucose Fuel Cell (GFC) has been fabricated using the nanomaterials developed in the lab. READ MORE
