  1. 1. Study of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces for Heat Transfer Applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : María Xuan Celaya Granados; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the pursuit of enhancing heat exchanger efficiency, several heat transfer- enhancing strategies are employed. The traditional methods include surface vibrations, microchannels, and integration of vortex generators. Additionally, new solutions are being studied, taking advantage of other relevant improve- ments in the engineering field. READ MORE

  3. 2. A NUMERICAL MODEL OF HEAT- AND MASS TRANSFER IN POLYMER ELECTROLYTE FUEL CELLS : A two-dimensional 1+1D approach to solve the steady-state temperature- and mass- distributions

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Framtidens energi

    Author : Emil Skoglund; [2021]
    Keywords : PEFC; PEM; convection; mass transport; heat transport; co-flow; temperature profile; heat transfer model; transient; steady state; water concentration profile; water vapor profile; relative humidity; through-plane cross section;

    Abstract : Methods of solving the steady state characteristics of a node matrix equation system over a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) were evaluated. The most suitable method, referred to as the semi-implicit method, was set up in a MATLAB program. READ MORE

  4. 3. Decreasing charging time of Lithium-Ion Battery by controlling temperature during the process

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Seyedhafez Sadeghi Meykola; [2020]
    Keywords : Lithium-Ion; Battery; Cooling system;

    Abstract : In this report, which is written for Halmstad University and on behalf of Semcon, a mechanical design process was implemented to evaluate the possibility of executing a low-cost cooling system for one of the battery company’s products. The report started from the background of former studies to clarify the problem and finding existing solutions in the first step and following up with developing concepts based on gathered information from the literature study.

  5. 4. Measuring the Characteristic Sizes of Convection Structures in AGB Stars with Fourier Decomposition Analyses : the Stellar Intensity Analyzer (SIA) Pipeline.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk astrofysik

    Author : Miquel Colom i Bernadich; [2020]
    Keywords : Asymptotic Giant Branch; AGB; red giants; stars; stellar convection; Fourier analysis; convection cells;

    Abstract : Context. Theoretical studies predict that the length scale of convection in stellar atmospheres isproportional to the pressure scale height, which implies that giant and supergiant stars should have convection granules of sizes comparable to their radii. READ MORE

  6. 5. NUMERICAL MODELLING OF A NOVEL PVT COLLECTOR AT CELL RESOLUTION

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Gustav Schön; [2017]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Thermal; Solar; Hybrid system; Ground Source Heat Pump; Energy; Renewable; Collector; Absorber; TAITherm; PVT; PV Thermal;

    Abstract : Solar photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) modules produce heat and power via a heat exchanger attached to the rear of the PV cells. The novel PVT collector in this study is previously untested and therefore its behaviour and thermo-electric performance due to fluid channel configuration and in various climate and operating conditions are unknown.
