  1. 1. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Ziyi Liu; [2024]
    Keywords : Heavy-duty truck; Computational fluid dynamics; Air drag; OpenFOAM;

    Abstract : In the field of heavy-duty vehicles, fuel efficiency and environmental protection are factors that need to be focused on, while the aerodynamic drag generated during vehicle travelling is one of the most influential aspects. This thesis delves into the aerodynamic simulation of Scania trucks using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM v2206. READ MORE

  3. 2. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.

    Abstract : Refrigeration plays a vital role today in various residential, commercial, and industrial processes, requiring refrigerants to facilitate the cooling or heating processes. Over time, refrigerants have undergone significant changes to meet technological, social, environmental, and economic needs. READ MORE

  6. 5. High-Performing Cloud Native SW Using Key-Value Storage or Database for Externalized States

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Ahmed Sikh; Joel Axén; [2023]
    Keywords : cloud-native; externalized states; latency; simulator; Redis; PostgreSQL; moln-nativ; externaliserade tillstånd; latens; simulator; Redis; PostgreSQL;

    Abstract : To meet the demands of 5G and what comes after, telecommunications companies will need to replace their old embedded systems with new technology. One such solution could be to develop cloud-native applications that offer many benefits but are less reliable than embedded systems. READ MORE
