Development of Brake Cooling
Sports cars need efficient brake cooling as they shall perform well during hard driving conditions, like for example race track driving. Most sports cars use ducts that capture ambient airflow and Continue reading
Industrial Solid-State Energy Harvesting: Mechanisms and Examples
This paper explores the potential for solid-state energy harvesting in industrial applications. In contrast to traditional heat recovery, the output of solid-state devices is electricity, which can be readily used in virtually any plant. The progress in Continue reading
Feasibility Study of Heating and Cooling Solutions for Wuxi Eco-City
Wuxi city has a strong economy and is well located for an eco city project, only 128 km from Shanghai. Wuxi Eco-City is a Sino-Swedish initiative to build an Continue reading
Detection of Frazil Ice at Water Intakes at Träbena Power Station
Frazil ice is a phenomenon that takes place in cold regions when the water of rivers, lakes or oceans is cooled under 0ºC. Several times during winter, frazil ice can appear at Continue reading
Refrigeration System Performance Using Alternative Refrigerants
When running a refrigeration system, the refrigerant will always leak into the atmosphere in various ways. The leakage of currently used refrigerants have a non-negligible impact on the Continue reading
Performance Improvement from Single to Multi Latent Thermal Energy Storage System combined Water Heater
In numerous energy systems there are discrepancies between the energy supply and demand. One such system is domestic water heater. The hot water heater is Continue reading
Energy Management in Buildings
This report is the result of a minor field study (MFS) performed in the Dominican Republic. The country strongly relies on energy sources from adjacent countries, currently the nation depends on fossil fuel for Continue reading
Competitive Thermokinetics and Non-linear Fire Behaviour
The prediction of the behavior and spread of fires in the bush has always been fraught with a large number of unknowns, not the least of which has been the Continue reading
Thermal Conversion of MSW – A Comparison of the System Performance: Direct Combustion Versus Conversion Through Syngas in CHP Plant
This project is a study comparing two different thermal conversion paths for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The comparison will be focused on technical, economic and emission aspects. One path is the direct incineration of Continue reading
CFD Measurements of the Cooling Air in a DC-Motor
The cooling system of a DC-motor is examined in this thesis. A change of direction of the cooling air is desired to prevent the generated coal dust from entering into the windings of the machine. Ultimately this will have a negative effect on the Continue reading
