1. 1. Is there a benefit of super spikes in long jump performance?

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

   Author : Erik Svensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Long jump; long jump performance; AFT; super shoes; super spikes; carbon fiber plate; athletics; track field; jump; biomechanics; sprint; speed; force;

   Abstract : Background and aim The pace of development of distance running shoes has been fast-forward since 2016 when Nike introduced their model Nike Zoom Vaporfly, with an imbedded carbon fiber plate and an advanced newly developed Pebax®-foam. The shoe-development has continued to track events, with the introduction of carbon fiber plate in several shoe-models for running and sprint- events. READ MORE

3. 2. Theoretical examination of temperature distribution in an electrical furnace by the study of transient heat conduction effects

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

   Author : Judith Bösenecker; [2023]
   Keywords : sintering; heat transfer; transient heat conduction; sintring; värmeöverföring; transient värmeledning;

   Abstract : The company Kanthal produces electric heating elements that require high temperature treatment in one production step. In this process step, called sintering, the amount of heat received by the sintered material is in direct correlation to the product’s outcome. READ MORE

4. 3. Simulation strategies for improved contamination modeling of liquid dynamics on automotive surfaces

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

   Author : Thisal Mandula Sugathapala; Twan Bakker; [2022]
   Keywords : Volume of Fluid; Contamination modeling; Blended Kistler model; Dynamic contact angle models; Exterior water management; Light-induced fluorescence imaging; Multiphase flows; Surface flows; Computational fluid dynamics; Sensor soiling;

   Abstract : A significant level of research is currently being carried out in the development of driver support systems as they are expected to play a key role in minimizing road vehicle accidents and creating a safe driving environment under harsh weather conditions. However, the performance of some components used by existing driver support systems like LIDAR and visual cameras are affected by extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain fall and snow.

5. 4. Energy Usage in Railway Wayside Object Heating : Modeling of melting of Ice, Estimation of heating power requirement in Switch and Renewable energy feasibility for a Railway system

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

   Author : Sidharth Kapoor; [2022]
   Keywords : Melting of Ice; Numerical modeling; Transient conjugate heat transfer; Transient analysis; CFD; Switch heating; Heat pumps in Railways; Issmältning; Numerisk modellering; Transient värmeöverföring; Transientanalys; CFD; Värmepumpar i järnvägar;

   Abstract : Trafikverket operates about 12000 Switches and crossings (SnCs) of which 6800 are equipped with an electrical heating system of 10−30kW power to keep SnCs functional throughout the winters by keeping them free of Snow/Ice. The energy consumption is approximately 200−130GWh/year costing approximately 10−15 million Euros annually. READ MORE

6. 5. Quantum ring with tangential dipoles

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Carmen López Jurado; [2021]
   Keywords : Bose-Einstein condensate; Quantum Droplets; Gross-Pitaevskii equation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This Bachelor thesis studies the formation of quantum droplets in a dilute dipolar Bose Einstein Condensate with the initial shape of a torus. The main question to address is how this formation occurs as the magnetic dipole moment of the particles changes orientation with respect to the xy plane. READ MORE
