  1. 1. Environmental Barrier Coatings to protect Ceramic Matrix Composites in next-generation jet engines

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Shivang Parmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Environmental barrier coating; ceramic matric composite; atmospheric plasma spray; suspension plasma spray; thermal cyclic fatigue; Barriärbeläggning; keramisk komposit; atmosfärisk plasmasprutning; suspensionsplasmasprutning; termisk cyklisk utmattning;

    Abstract : Gas turbine engine efficiency needs to be raised in order to decrease fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and expenses. Efficiency may be improved in two ways: by reducing engine weight and raising intake temperatures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Plume-Spacecraft Interaction Analysis : Study on the Plume Effects of Hall-Effect Thrusters (HET) and High-Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thrusters (HEMPT).

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

    Author : Josep Sentís Garzón; [2023]
    Keywords : Electric propulsion; Plasma plume; Plasma physics; SPIS; OpenPlume EP; Modelling; Charge-Exchange Collisions; Elektrisk framdrivning; Plasma plym; Plasmafysik; SPIS; OpenPlume EP; Modellering; Laddningsväxlingskollisioner;

    Abstract : Plume-spacecraft interactions play an important role in the performance and integrity of spacecraft during their missions in space. The study encompasses a thruster’s plume simulation and its impact on spacecraft geometries to understand and predict the effects and consequences of the impingement on spacecraft surfaces, such as erosion, contamination, forces, and torques.

  4. 3. Non-Diffractive Nuclear Excitations In Angantyr

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Carl Rosenkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Heavy-ion; non-diffractive; nuclear excitation; secondary interactions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : To better understand collectivity in high energy physics, the heavy-ion collision model Angantyr was developed to be included in the event generator Pythia. In this model, proton-proton collision phenomenology is extrapolated to heavy-ion collisions without assuming a thermal plasma for particle production. READ MORE

  5. 4. Calculation of alpha knock-on neutron spectra from the 2021 JET DT campaign

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Arna Ormsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermonuclear fusion; DT plasma; neutron spectra; supra-thermal ions;

    Abstract : A python code was developed to compute the alpha knock-on (AKN) neutron spectrum using two already available computational tools. The code was used to calculate the AKN for a given discharge from the DTE2 JET campaign. Results showed that the beam-target contribution dominated the neutron spectra and obscured the AKN tail.

  6. 5. Investigation of the mean photon energy in Kompaneets spectra

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Richárd Bagi; [2023]
    Keywords : Astroparticle Physics; Kompaneets equation; Astropartikelfysik; Kompaneetsekvationen;

    Abstract : The Kompaneets equation describes the spectrum formation when hot fermions are injected into an opaque fermion-photon plasma in thermal equilibrium and inverse Compton-scatterings occur. The equation has three free parameters, the initial plasma thermal energy θ_u, the final plasmathermal energy θ_r and the average photon energy gain y_r. READ MORE
