  1. 1. Measuring copper abundances in the Galactic Bulge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nikolei Höglinger; [2024]
    Keywords : Copper; Galaxy: abundances; Galaxy: bulge; Chemical Evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context: The chemical evolution of Cu in the Galactic bulge have been studied in a few studies using red giant branch stars, but the ages of individual red giant stars are difficult to determine. In addition, the bulge has been a challenging region of the Milky Way galaxy to obtain high-resolution spectra of stars, except when observing through certain few small fields into the bulge that are known to have low extinction.

  3. 2. Impact of Frame Stiffness on Tribological Behaviour of Sliding Interfaces

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

    Author : Nisha Singh; [2023]
    Keywords : coefficient of friction; friction-vibration interaction; stiffness; tribometer; vibrations; friktionskoefficient; friktion-vibrationsinteraktion; styvhet; tribometer; vibrationer;

    Abstract : Friction and wear have been concerns to industrialists, scientists and environmentalist for several decades. Many robust models have been developed to address friction and wear and their dependency on various parameters. Numerous experiments have been conducted in the past to model friction and wear.

  4. 3. High Temperature Tribology of Exhaust Components in Alternative Fuel Engines

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

    Author : Muhammad Hashir Zaheer; [2023]
    Keywords : High temperature tribology; Wear; Friction; Exhaust manifold; Lip seal ring; Wear resistant coatings; Inconel 718c; SiMo51 ductile cast iron; AlTiN; Tribaloy 400;

    Abstract : Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) exhaust components are exposed to extreme operating temperatures. Thus, it is necessary that they are designed with materials that can sustain thermal and vibrational stresses. READ MORE

  5. 4. Adjoint-based Formulation for Shape Optimization Problems in Computational Fluid Dynamics

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Anton Scotte; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A continuous adjoint formulation for exterior optimization of Dirichlet data on the boundary for potential flow applications has been developed in this thesis. This has been performed by utilizing boundary integral methods for both the primal problem (Laplace’s equation) and for the corresponding adjoint equation (Poisson’s equation) on the unit disc.

  6. 5. Experiments and simulations of gas flow through a NiCd battery

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

    Author : Sarah Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : NiCd; battery; porous medium; experiment; CFD; NiCd; batteri; poröst medium; experiment; CFD;

    Abstract : This report describes the thesis work carried out regarding experiments and simulations of the gas flow through a NiCd battery. The objective of the work was to investigate how different geometries of the flip top vent on the battery and the level of porosity of the flame arresting disc impacted the amount of potassium carbonate created at the outlet of the vent.
