  1. 11. Investigation of the heat transfer of enhanced additively manufactured minichannel heat exchangers

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

    Author : Hamidreza Rastan; [2019]
    Keywords : Minichannel; Microchannel; Heat exchanger; Additive manufacturing; 3D printing; Numerical simulation; CFD; Comsol;

    Abstract : Mini-/microchannel components have received attention over the past few decades owing to their compactness and superior thermal performance. Microchannel heat sinks are typically manufactured through traditional manufacturing practices (milling and sawing, electrodischarge machining, and water jet cutting) by changing their components to work in microscale environments or microfabrication techniques (etching and lost wax molding), which have emerged from the semiconductor industry.

  2. 12. Directly Cooled Windings - Conjugate heat transfer assessment of air-cooled hollow conductor

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Michael Gabassi; [2018]
    Keywords : Conjugate heat transfer; hollow conductor; thermal management; direct cooled windings; heat transfer; electrical machines; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The torque capabilities of electrical machines are today limited by magnetic saturation and the ability to transfer thermal loads away from the machine. A solution to thermal management in power turbo-generators involves hollow conductors allowing direct cooling of the heat source thus increasing the power density significantly. READ MORE

  3. 13. Compressor CFD simulation method development : A CFD study

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

    Author : Johan Björk; [2018]
    Keywords : CFD; centrifugal compressor; CFX; CHT; Conjugate Heat Transfer; Surge;

    Abstract : This master thesis project consisted of three parts that all were performed through CFD simulations with the purpose to develop Scania's methods in the subject of CFD. All parts included simulations on Scania's SC92T70 centrifugal compressor. READ MORE

  4. 14. Thermal Analysis of a Sea Wave Generator

    University essay from KTH/Elkraftteknik

    Author : Ezequiel Quijada; [2017]
    Keywords : sea wave power generator; magnet overheating; demagnetization; heat transfer; conjugate heat transfer; thermal resistance; Comsol Multiphysics; cooling technique;

    Abstract : Wave power has been increasing the interest of many researchers looking for alternative sustainable energy sources since the reserves have proved to be capable of satisfying a considerable percentage of the world´s energy demands. This option has not been adopted as a sustainable source since there are some challenges in the process of designing a low cost device that converts the kinetic energy of the waves into electric energy and that could still be efficient enough to be competitive against other options.

  5. 15. Investigation of CFD conjugate heat transfer simulation methods for engine components at SCANIA CV AB

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Luis Iñaki Martinez; [2017]
    Keywords : CFD; conjugate heat transfer; multimaterial; computational fluid dynamics; master thesis;

    Abstract : The main objective of this Master Thesis project is the development of a new methodology to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) conjugate heat transfer simulations for internal combustion engines, at the Fluid and Combustion Simulations Department (NMGD) at Scania CV AB, Södertalje, Sweden. This new method allows to overcome the drawbacks identified in the former methodology, providing the ability to use the more advanced polyhedral mesh type to generate good quality grids in complex geometries like water cooling jackets, and integrating all the different components of the engine cylinder in one unique multi-material mesh.
