  1. 11. High temperature corrosion in exhaust application for heavy-duty trucks

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Alice Moya; [2019]
    Keywords : high temperature corrosion; austenitic steel; cast iron; cast steel; oxidation; exhaust gas; engine; heavy-duty trucks;

    Abstract : Increasing awareness of environmental protection has made both governments and the industry aim for lowering carbon dioxide emissions. For the transport industry this means increasing engine efficiency, replacing fossil fuels with bio-based fuels or full electrification. READ MORE

  3. 12. Understanding the effect of material composition and microstructure on the hot corrosion behaviour of plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Avdelningen för avverkande och additativa tillverkningsprocesser (AAT)

    Author : Ehsan Najafi; [2019]
    Keywords : Thermal barrier coatings; molten salt infiltration; TBC variations; hot corrosion test;

    Abstract : Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are used in the hot sections of gas turbine engine in order to insulate the substrate at high temperature. Molten salt infiltration retards the durability of TBCs. The current standard material, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 13. An Investigation of Stainless Steels for Long-term Use in Liquid Sodium at up to 700°C

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Clara Bubenko; Karl Magnil; Melker Olofsson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish company Azelio has developed a high-efficient Stirling engine which is powered by solar energy. Since the access of solar power is limited to day-time, Azelio has also developed their own Thermal Energy Storage (TES), which collects and stores solar energy and thereby provides the engine with energy also during night-time.

  5. 14. Improved interconnect materials for next-generation Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Pablo Collantes; [2019]
    Keywords : Solid Oxide Fuel Cells; High Temperature Corrosion; Self-healing; Interconnects;

    Abstract : Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are attractive candidates in the search for cleaner and energy efficient production due to their numerous advantages such as fuel flexibility, modularity and exceptional efficiencies when combined heat and power is harnessed. A key element in its design are the interconnects which are mainly manufactured from custom ferritic stainless steels to carry the electricity between two adjacent cells. READ MORE

  6. 15. NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY FOR REFUSE DERIVED FUEL : Classification of waste material components using hyperspectral imaging and feasibility study of inorganic chlorine content quantification

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik
