  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Pilot Study: Test Rig for Self-lubricating Kaplan Runner Bearings

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

    Author : Bhairav Khadke; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Kaplan turbine; Self-lubricating bearing Test rig. Hydropower; Kaplan turbine; Self-lubricating bearing Test rig.; Vattenkraft; Kaplanturbin; Självsmörjande lager Testrigg.;

    Abstract : Hydropower has a relatively small impact on the climate and contributes to almost half of Sweden’s electricity production. Vattenfall own and operate roughly 125 large scale hydro power units of which about half utilizes a Kaplan turbine. READ MORE

  4. 3. TEMPERATURE MODELLING OF GEAR MESH

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

    Author : Ahsan Kadevalappil Ajilan; [2023]
    Keywords : Helical gear; Power loss; MATLAB; ANSYS; Spiralväxel; Strömförlust; MATLAB; ANSYS;

    Abstract : Temperature control is an essential aspect of gear design. Continuous research is going on to improve the efficiency of gear systems. Power losses or energy losses in these systems typically manifest themselves as increased temperatures and thus reducing the lifetime and overall performance of the system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design of an Embedded Torque Sensor : Based on Volumetric Strain induced Differential Air Pressure

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för elektronikkonstruktion

    Author : Wen Qi; [2022]
    Keywords : Torque; Electronics; Gas sealing; Pressure measurement;

    Abstract : This paper proposes a torque sensor based on the differential air pres- sure measurement method using a new embedded structure. The pro- posed sensor design is an improvement over the previous sensor design. The mechanical sensitivity, resolution, and stress distribution of the new sensor are analyzed by finite element modeling. READ MORE

  6. 5. Heat-pipes in electric machines : Heat management in electric traction motors

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Anton Olofsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Heat-pipe; Heat pipe; FEM; LPM; Traction motors; Induction motor; Heat management;

    Abstract : The world is continually changing towards more energy efficient alternatives and less pollution. For the traction market, electric powertrains have become the go-to method, superior to both steam and diesel-electric hybrid systems. READ MORE
