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
Modeling and Simulation of a Sounding Rocket Active Stabilization System
ABSTRACT
The Horizon Simulation Framework is a modeling and simulation framework developed to verify system level requirements. In this thesis, the framework is extended to include the Dynamic position type that existed in the early 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
Solar Drying Systems for Farmers in Cameroon
Imagine being a farmer having your livelyhood endangered by heavy rainfalls and thunderstorms due to global warming (Habiba Gitay 2002), when what you really need is sun to dry your maize, coffee or cocoa harvest. Such is the Continue reading
Structural Analysis of a Washing Machine Through Its Loading Cases: Redesign of the Tripod and the Front Cover
This project was developed in collaboration with the mechanical department at University of Skövde, and it is focused in the determination of different loading cases and the application of their results to Continue reading
Design of a Test Rig for a Novel Joining Method
This paper presents the development of an experimental setup in order to study a novel assembly method based on knurling. The assembly method is used as an alternative to Continue reading
Simplified Finite Element Bearing Modeling: With Nx Nastran
This report was produced at the request of ABB Robotics and the work was conducted at their facilities in Västerås, Sweden. Continue reading
Comparison of Stress Behavior in Thermal Barrier Coatings Using FE Analyses
The objective of this project was to compare the stress behaviour in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with FE analyses in both 2D and 3D. The main focus was to Continue reading
Ride Quality and Drivability of a Typical Passenger Car subject to Engine/Driveline and Road Non-uniformities Excitations
The aim of this work is to evaluate ride quality of a typical passenger car. This requires both identifying the excitation resources, which result to undesired noise inside the vehicle, and studying Continue reading
Simulation Method Development of Ultra Thick Laminates:: with Cohesive Zone Method and Empirical Arcan Tests
To reduce the product life cost of aircrafts, the conversion of major load bearing components from aluminium to carbon fibre reinforced plastics have been proposed. Large load bearing components require significantly thicker composite laminates than Continue reading
