1. Additives in a steam engine to decrease friction : Friction testing of solid lubricants in powder form
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the coefficient of friction between steel on steel contacts with the addition of solid lubricants such as h-BN, WS2, MoS2 in powder form, in dry conditions and wet conditions. More specifically, the purpose is to enhance the sliding between the piston rings and cylinder block in a modern high temperature steam engine developed by RANOTOR. READ MORE

2. The design of a hydraulic equalizer bar for the feeding mechanism on forest harvester heads
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Due to the importance of a correct tree placement and the wear that occurs to equalizer bars inharvester heads, Komatsu Forest AB in Umeå was interested if the bar could be replaced with ahydraulic system. According to Komatsu, the problems were that the equalizer bars that are responsible forsynchronizing the delimbing knives and feeding mechanism add weight, take up space and have atendency to break before their life expectancy.

3. Analysis of high-voltage low-current DC/DC converters for electrohydrodynamic pumps
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : Moving parts cause vibrations and tend to wear out. In applications where maintenance is complicated, solutions without moving parts are therefore advantageous. Electrohydrodynamic pumps are such a solution. Instead of mechanical propulsion, they use strong electric fields to induce movement in a dielectric cooling liquid. READ MORE

4. Test rig for gear transmissions in electrical applications
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Due to the environmental problems associated with fossil fuels and a big need from the market, the majority of the automotive industry is going towards fully electric vehicles (EVs). To further reduce the environmental footprint there is ongoing research on the use of fossil-free lubricants, if they could be used to lubricate the drive train which could further reduce the use of fossil oil in the automotive industry.
