  1. 1. Experiments and simulations of gas flow through a NiCd battery

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

    Author : Sarah Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : NiCd; battery; porous medium; experiment; CFD; NiCd; batteri; poröst medium; experiment; CFD;

    Abstract : This report describes the thesis work carried out regarding experiments and simulations of the gas flow through a NiCd battery. The objective of the work was to investigate how different geometries of the flip top vent on the battery and the level of porosity of the flame arresting disc impacted the amount of potassium carbonate created at the outlet of the vent.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Numerical Modelling of a Packed Bed Thermal Energy Storage for Applications in a Carnot Battery : KTH Thesis Report

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

    Author : Gabriel Juul; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal energy storage; Carnot battery; sand; packed bed; granular medium; porous medium; effective medium technique; effective thermal conductivity; paramedic study; 3D model; COMSOL; numerical modelling; Lagring av värmeenergi; Carnot-batteri; sand; packad bädd; granulärt medium; poröst medium; effektiv mediumteknik; effektiv värmeledningsförmåga; parametrisk studie; 3D-modell; COMSOL; numerisk modellering;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the heat transfer characteristics of a packed bed thermal energy storage device through the development of a 3D model in COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is based on a laboratory-scale device consisting of an aluminum box filled with sand, which acts as the thermal storage medium. READ MORE

  5. 4. Unspecific interactions in different batch variations of agarose based base matrices at different NaCl concentrations.

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Kejvan Ghofranpanah; [2022]
    Keywords : Lysozyme; hydrophobicity; size exclusion chromatography; NaCl concentrations; isocratic elution; Lysozym; hydrofobicitet; size exclusion chromatography; NaCl-koncentrationer; isokratisk eluering;

    Abstract : Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) separates molecules based on their actual size rather than their molecular weight. This indicates that the smaller a molecule is, the longer it will be held in the column since it can penetrate the pores more effectively than a bigger molecule, resulting in a longer retention time, whereas the larger molecule has a shorter retention time.

  6. 5. Analysis of the flow of secondary steam through a reheater using 3D CFD

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Ida Lindell; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this study 3D CFD was used to study the mass flow distribution in a reheater in a nuclear power plant. The aim was to see if 3D-modeling provide different results than traditionally used 1D-analysis. Models with detailed geometry were created for a section of the tube package in the reheater to obtain pressure drop coefficients. READ MORE
