  1. 1. Numerical Simulations of Resonant Tunnelling Diodes

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Love Sundström; Alexander Holmström Janeld; [2023]
    Keywords : Quantum mechanics; numerical methods; resonant tunnelling diode;

    Abstract : In this thesis, four different numerical techniques are implemented for the purpose of simulating resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs). The chosen methods were: piecewise constant transfer matrix (TMM-C), piecewise linear transfer matrix (TMM-L), quantum transmitting boundary method (QTBM), and the Crank-Nicolson method (CN).

  3. 2. A NUMERICAL MODEL OF HEAT- AND MASS TRANSFER IN POLYMER ELECTROLYTE FUEL CELLS : A two-dimensional 1+1D approach to solve the steady-state temperature- and mass- distributions

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Framtidens energi

    Author : Emil Skoglund; [2021]
    Keywords : PEFC; PEM; convection; mass transport; heat transport; co-flow; temperature profile; heat transfer model; transient; steady state; water concentration profile; water vapor profile; relative humidity; through-plane cross section;

    Abstract : Methods of solving the steady state characteristics of a node matrix equation system over a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) were evaluated. The most suitable method, referred to as the semi-implicit method, was set up in a MATLAB program. READ MORE

  4. 3. Towards the detection of single photons in the mid-infrared

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Bruno Lopez; [2021]
    Keywords : mid-infrared; single-photon; superconducting; nanowire; nanotechnology; quantum technologies; imaging; mitten av infraröd; enfoton; supraledande; nanotråd; nanoteknik; kvantteknologi; avbildning;

    Abstract : In this project, the fabrication of single-photon detectors based on superconducting nanowires is presented, with great focus on extending their operation range to the mid infrared. In particular, Niobium Titanium Nitride (NbTiN) and Molybdenum Silicide (MoSi), superconducting materials with different properties, are presented, studied and used as fabrication platforms.

  5. 4. Investigation Of The Influence Of Geometrical Parameters On Heat Transfer In Matrix Cooling : A Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Fabian Maletzke; [2021]
    Keywords : turbine; blade cooling; matrix cooling; latticework cooling; CFD; heat transfer; RANS;

    Abstract : Modern gas turbine blades and vanes are operated at temperatures above their material’s melting point. Active external and internal cooling are therefore necessary to reach acceptable lifetimes. One possible internal cooling method is called matrix cooling, where a matrix of intersecting cooling air channels is integrated into a blade or vane. READ MORE

  6. 5. IC-Engine Source Characterisation and exhaust system simulations

    University essay from KTH/Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet MWL

    Author : Pontus Gräsberg; [2021]
    Keywords : IC-engine; source characteristics; Multiload method; one-port source; exhaust system; Bränslemotor; källkarakterisering; avgassystem;

    Abstract : To be able to predict the sound pressure level emitted by a exhaust system one must be able to describe the source. The source in the form of an engine can linearly be described as a source strength and a source impedance. An IC-engine can acoustically have a non-linear part meaning that the source characteristics have a dependency on the load. READ MORE
