  1. 1. Reactor Chemistry in LWR SMRs : Determination of the rate constant for the reaction between boric acid and hydroxyl radicals

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Fredrik Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : LWR; SMR; Water chemistry; Radiolysis; Boric acid; LWR; SMR; vattenkemi; Radiolys; Borsyra; Hydroxylradikal;

    Abstract : Ett problem vid byggandet av nya kärnkraftverk för elproduktion är de stora investeringskostnaderna samt den långa tiden det att få tillstånd för en reaktor och bygga den. Nyligen färdigställdes den tredje reaktorn vid Olkiluoto I Finland, den tog 18 år att färdigställa exklusive tiden att få tillstånd för reaktorn. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Vatsalkumar Manavar; [2023]
    Keywords : Savonius wind turbine; Computational fluid dynamics; Vertical axis wind turbine; Overlap ratio; Distance between blades; Power coefficient;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

  4. 3. An assessment of circular economy measures in the construction value chain for offshore wind turbines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggproduktion

    Author : Therése Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular economy; Construction value chain; Wind energy; Offshore wind turbine; Offshore wind farm; Design; Manufacturing; Construction; Operation and maintenance; End of life; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. READ MORE

  5. 4. Forced response numerical investigation of a transonic compressor rotor

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

    Author : Mariana Pires Gonçalves Toco Dias; [2023]
    Keywords : Compressor; rotor; blisk; aeroelasticity; aerodynamic damping; CFD; transient; forced response;

    Abstract : The present thesis discusses the forced response of a rotor’s bladed-disk when excited by the periodic force produced by a wake generator, or Inlet Guide Vane (IGV),with 8 equally-spaced blades. These components are part of an axial transonic compressor rig, moreover the Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 1 (TCD1), located at the Technical University of Darmstadt. READ MORE

  6. 5. Process monitoring of turbine blades : Monitoring of blade tip clearance using eddy current sensors

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

    Author : Hampus Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Blade tip clearance; Blade tip timing; Eddy current sensor; Turbine monitoring; Maintenance.; Bladtoppspel; Bladvibrationer; Eddy current sensorer; Turbinövervakning; Underhåll.;

    Abstract : This thesis has been a collaboration between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Siemens Energy which invest in the research facility at KTH. The objective was to investigate the use of eddy current sensors in real-time monitoring of turbine blades. READ MORE
