  1. 21. 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. 23. Numerical modeling of airflow on the cathode-side of a bipolar flow plate : How the formed geometry affects the pressure drop and flow distribution in a hydrogen fuel cell

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Olivia Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; Cross-sectional geometry; Computational fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : Climate change and rising temperatures is a well-known problem. To tackle global warming a transition from fossil fuels to renewable and reliable energy sources is necessary. Hydrogen, in fuel cells, is proposed to replace diesel and gasoline in the transport sector. READ MORE

  5. 24. Improving the guidance, navigation and control design of the KNATTE platform

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Lars Lundström; [2023]
    Keywords : Multisensor Data Fusion; Nonlinear Kalman Filter; Neural Network;

    Abstract : For complex satellite missions that rely on agile and high-precision manoeuvres, the low-friction aspect of the space environment is a critical component in understanding the attitude control dynamics of the spacecraft. The Kinesthetic Node and Autonomous Table-Top Emulator (KNATTE) is a three-degree-of-freedom frictionless vehicle that serves as the foundation of a multipurpose platform for real-time spacecraft hardware-in-the-loop experiments, and allows emulation of these conditions in two dimensions with the purpose of validating various guidance, navigation, and control algorithms.
