1. Increasing the diodicity of ceramic Tesla valves by exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing : A study in design optimizations of Tesla valves for ceramic 3D printing
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskapAbstract : The work presented in this thesis was conducted at Uppsala University and at Fraunhofer IKTS, Dresden. The thesis aims to study design optimizations for increasing the diodicity and thereby performance of a Tesla valve, a type of “no moving parts” (NMP) valve, through design freedoms offered by ceramic additive manufacturing.

2. Design of cooling-air permeable coil support
University essay from KTH/HållfasthetsläraAbstract : Coil supports are integral load-bearing components employed in generators andmotors. They serve the purpose of preventing excessive deformation and maintaininga stable position of the coils responsible for generating power and magnetic fieldswhen rotating. READ MORE

3. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : 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. Analysis of high-voltage low-current DC/DC converters for electrohydrodynamic pumps
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : Moving parts cause vibrations and tend to wear out. In applications where maintenance is complicated, solutions without moving parts are therefore advantageous. Electrohydrodynamic pumps are such a solution. Instead of mechanical propulsion, they use strong electric fields to induce movement in a dielectric cooling liquid. READ MORE

5. An analytical method for quickly evaluating the performances of refractory alloys in sCO2 Brayton cycle applications
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : A rapid and effective analytical method has been developed to assess the performance of structural materials in sCO2 power cycle applications. This method combines a conjugate heat transfer model, considering constant heat flux boundary conditions, with a corresponding mechanical model. READ MORE
