   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Torpikay Azizi; [2023-08-18]
   Keywords : PRISMA Hyperspectral data; lithium mineral deposits; lithium brine-rich deposits; Dashti-e- Nawar; boron deposits; Principal Component Analysis PCA ; supervised and unsupervised classification; spectral matching; spectral profile analysis; visible-near-infrared VNIR ; short-wave infrared SWIR Gypsum; Hectorite; Kaolinite; Lepidolite; lithium carbonate; lithium chloride;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to utilize hyperspectral remote sensing technology for the identification and evaluation of lithium mineral deposits in Afghanistan. Afghanistan boasts unique geological formations with substantial potential for lithium resources beneath its land crust. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Metals for energy storage : For hydrogen and power generation

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Konstruktionsmaterial

   Author : Oscar Torsteinsrud; Mattias Reijm; [2023]
   Keywords : Metals; Energy Storage; Round Trip Efficiency; Aluminum; Boron; Magnesium; Silicon; Zinc;

   Abstract : With an increase in energy demand and a transition from conventional fossil-driven energy generation, the world is facing a major challenge. This transition implies more intermittent energy sources whose reliance varies widely with time. To deal with this challenge, energy storage is one part of the solution. READ MORE

5. 4. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

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

   Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
   Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

   Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

6. 5. SFEER Hydrogen Permeation : Finding a suitable coating for the PA6 liner

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Elsa Friis; Klara Karlsson; Rebecka Damgren; Emma Åkesson; Malin Johansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydrogen permeation; PA6; coating; hydrogen permeation barrier; polymer hydrogen permeation; permeation; protective coating; hydrogen embrittlement;

   Abstract : Water Stuff & Sun are developing a hydrogen battery based on a technology called SFEER’s. The SFEER’s are spherical high-pressure gas storage containers that are the size of a tennis ball. They consist of a carbon fiber-shell that is lined on the inside with a polymer called PA6. READ MORE
