  1. 6. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : David Ebert; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

  3. 7. Optimal dead space in axial-type expander

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Martin Karman; [2022]
    Keywords : Dead space; Expander; Steam engine; Tolerance analysis; Axial-kolvmotor; Effektivitet; Expansionskammare; Kolv; Ångmotor;

    Abstract : In this thesis a method for determining optimal dead space in an axial-type expander is developed. The axial-type expander in question is for use in a steam engine, a environmental friendly and fuel-agnostic alternative to the ICE-engine. READ MORE

  4. 8. Including Finite Larmor Radius Effects on RF Heating of Fusion Plasmas using Weak-Form Contributions in COMSOL

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

    Author : Jonas Christ; [2022]
    Keywords : plasma; fusion; RF; radio frequency; IBW; FW; ion Bernstein wave; fast wave; simulation; FEM; finite element method; Taylor; Taylor expansion; COMSOL; MATLAB; FLR; finite larmor radius; magnetized plasma; hot plasma; thermal plasma; plasma; fusion; radiofrekvens; simulation; FEM; finita elementmethod; Taylor; Taylorutveckling; COMSOL; MATLAB; FLR; ändliga Larmorradie-effekter;

    Abstract : In a fusion plasma, the ions have to be heated to reach fusion relevant temperatures. One possibility is to launch an electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency band into the plasma. This wave can resonate with the ions at their cyclotron frequency and hence, the method is called ion cyclotron resonance heating. READ MORE

  5. 9. Växtval för att motverka värmeöeffekten : kan träden i Malmö användas för att minska värmebildning i staden?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Anton Wallenstad; [2022]
    Keywords : värmeöeffekten; urbanisering; klimatförändringar; ; vegetation; träd; skugga; transpiration;

    Abstract : Klimatförändringar har förekommit genom alla tider, men de som ägt rum de senaste decennierna och förväntas fortsätta i samma riktning i framtiden är mer extrema än alla skådade de senaste århundradena. Med klimatförändringarna förväntas medeltemperaturerna öka och med dem ökar även risken för extrema väderfenomen som torka och värmeböljor. READ MORE

  6. 10. Characterizing coil windings noise due to compressive fault currents : A study to determine if there is a characteristic noise from transformer windings due to fault currents

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

    Author : Simon Lundgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Transformer windings; short circuit forces; current pulses; microphone; Comsol Multiphysics; FFT; Transformator lindningar; strömpulser; mikrofon; kortslutingskrafter; Comsol Multiphysics; FFT;

    Abstract : Transformers are essential for modern power distribution system. They are efficient and enable the voltages to be transformed up for transportation of electricity and back down for consumer use. The reliability of the transformer is affected by faults and fatigue of the copper. READ MORE
