  1. 1. Propulsion efficiency with energy saving devices for vessels

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Samuel Östlund; [2023]
    Keywords : ESD; Energy saving device; Maritime; Kongsberg; Pre-swirl stator;

    Abstract : Due to global warming, all industries must do everything they can to prevent temperature increases. In this bachelor thesis, the reader will get a description of how the marine industry is tackling the environmental problem and more precisely what a vessel can be equipped with to reduce fuel consumption.

  3. 2. Traditional sailing ships in international waters : -A transnational cultural heritage

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kulturvård

    Author : Elin Synnøve K. Swärd; [2023]
    Keywords : Sailing ships; authorised heritage discourse; maritime heritage; Sjöfart; kulturvård; authorised heritage discourse; segelfartyg;

    Abstract : Traditional sailing ships, as opposed to vernacular boats, evolved to consist of certain types of vessels that couldbe produced in the same way in different countries and were also sold between countries. They were usuallyengaged in longer voyages which often resulted in an international crew. READ MORE

  4. 3. Consensus Algorithm with Input Constraints and Collision Avoidance for Swarming Sunshade Satellites near the L1 point

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

    Author : Felicia Törning; [2022]
    Keywords : Consensus algorithm; Formation control; Multi agent system; Solar sailing; Space based geoengineering; Konsensusalgoritm; Formationskontroll; multiagent system; solsegel;

    Abstract : Swarm Control Theory studies how multi-agent systems interact to solve tasks cooperatively. In this thesis it was studied how graph theory and the Dynamic Average Consensus Algorithm can be used to control swarming sunshade satellites near L1 for global temperature control, and if it would be suitable for the purpose.

  5. 4. Optimisation of a LOX/Ethanol rocket engine ignition

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

    Author : Pierre Collard; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For more than half a century, humanity has achieved the feat of extracting itself from the earth's atmosphere and sailing into space, broadening the spectrum of knowledge and curiosity. Although space market seemed mastered and stable the arrival of new private players has reorganized the sector through new technological choices. READ MORE

  6. 5. Electric propulsion of satellites as an alternative for implementation of a sunshade system

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Maheen Arfan; Isabelle Bonnier; [2022]
    Keywords : Geoengineering; Sunshade system; Electric propulsion; Orbital mechanics; Sub-lagrange;

    Abstract : As an alternative solution to global warming, this thesis explores the possibility of aspace-based geoengineering scheme that may prove worthwhile to implement in parallel toother environmental efforts that help mitigate impact of climate change. One suggestionof a geoengineering solution is deploying a large number of sunshades in the vicinity ofthe first Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system, and this prospective sunshade projectwould serve to shield Earth from incident solar radiation.
