  1. 11. Use of the JET pedestal database to assess the role of ion temperature and plasma rotation on the discrepancy between ideal peeling-ballooning model and experimental data

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Max Eichenberger; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear fusion; Joint European Torus JET ; H-mode; pedestal; Edge-localized-modes ELMs ; Peeling-Ballooning; relative shift; ion temperature; plasma rotation; Kärnfusion; JET Joint European Torus ; H-läge; piedestal; ELM Edge Localized­Modes ; peeling-ballooning; relativ förskjutning; jontemperatur; plasmarotation;

    Abstract : Next-generation and present fusion devices such as the Joint European Torus (JET) aim for plasma operations in H-mode, a plasma regime with high confinement and low loss of energy and fuel that results from a barrier for heat and particle transport at the plasma edge, the pedestal. Due to steep gradients of the density, temperature and pressure profiles, the pedestal experiences instabilities called Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) which lead to large fluxes of heat and particles that might damage machine components.

  3. 12. Converting an Automobile Engine to an Aircraft Engine

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Gabriel Kronberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Piston Engine; Tiny Friendly Giant; Aviation Emissions; Engine Cooling; GREET; BFFM2; Sustainable Aviation Fuel; Engine Conversion; Emission Estimation; Trade Study; Kolvmotor; Tiny Friendly Giant; Flygutsläpp; Motorkylning; GREET; BFFM2; Hållbart flygbränsle; Motorkonvertering; Utsläppsupskattning; Paramterstudie;

    Abstract : This project evaluates the opportunity to convert a three-cylinder automobile piston engine (the Tiny Friendly Giant) to an aircraft engine from an environmental and practical point of view. The problem of increased emissions from aviation calls for technical and socioeconomic solutions, which is the reason why this report is written. READ MORE

  4. 13. States and Prospects of Hydrogen Storage Technologies in Aircraft Applications

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Kenzo Franzén; Fredrik Jangelind; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent years, more than 100 000 commercial flights have departed daily, and the number of passengers worldwide are expected to double within the next two decades, assuming there are no long-term impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the aviation industry will need to undergo a shift to more sustainable fuels, due to the growing issue of climate change and implementation of policies that regulate the use of fossil-based fuels such as kerosene.

  5. 14. LES modelling of spray combustion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Arvid Åkerblom; [2021]
    Keywords : Gas Turbine; CFD; Large Eddy Simulation; Lagrangian Particle Tracking; Chemical Kinetics; Reaction Mechanism; Combustion; OpenFOAM; CHEMKIN; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives. Because conventional fuels have been more widely researched, an attempt at simulating the combustion of alternative fuels should be preceded by the development of a method that is capable of accurately simulating the combustion of a conventional fuel.

  6. 15. Aviation’s future energy requirements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Trafikflyghögskolan

    Author : Leonard Holmgren Holm; [2021]
    Keywords : Aviation fuels; Sustainable aviation fuels; Hydrogen power; Electric aircraft; Environmental impact; FLYL01; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Flygindustrin närmar sig ett vägval där sektorn kommer behöva bestämma sig för vilken typ av framtida energimöjligheter den ska använda sig av. En väg är att även fortsättningsvis använda sig konventionellt flygbränsle vilket med stor sannolikhet kommer leda till fortsatt ökande utsläpp globalt, och den andra vägen leder sektorn till hållbart flygbränsle, vätgasdrift och batteridrivna elektriska flygplan.
